Using Policies to Control USB Redirection
You can configure USB policies for both View Agent and View Client for Windows to specify whether View
Client should split composite USB devices into separate components for redirection, to restrict the types of
USB devices that View Client makes available for redirection, and to make View Agent prevent certain USB
devices from being forwarded from a client computer. You cannot use USB policies to control which USB
devices can be used with a checked-out remote desktop.
If you have older versions of View Agent or View Client installed, not all the features of the USB redirection
policies
are available. Table 8-15 shows how View applies the policies for different combinations of View Agent
and View Client for Windows.
