Location-Based Printing Group Policy Setting Syntax
You use the AutoConnect Map Additional Printers for VMware View group policy setting to map printers to
View desktops.
AutoConnect Map Additional Printers for VMware View is a name translation table that identifies printers
and defines associated translation rules. Table 8-37 describes the syntax of the translation table.
Table 8-37. Translation Table Columns and Values
Column Description
IP Range
A translation rule that specifies a range of IP addresses for
client systems.
To
specify IP addresses in a specific range, use the following
notation:
ip_address - ip_address
For example: 10.112.116.0-10.112.119.255
To specify all of the IP addresses in a specific subnet, use the
following notation:
ip_address/subnet_mask_bits
For example: 10.112.4.0/22
This notation specifies the usable IPv4 addresses from
10.112.4.1 to 10.112.7.254.
Type an asterisk to match any IP address.
Client Name
A translation rule that specifies a computer name.
For example: Mary's Computer
Type an asterisk to match any computer name.
Mac Address
A translation rule that specifies a MAC address. In the GPO
editor, you must use the same format that the client system
uses. For example:
n
Windows clients use hyphens: 01-23-45-67-89-ab
n
Linux clients use colons: 01:23:45:67:89:ab
Type an asterisk to match any MAC address.
User/Group
A translation rule that specifies a user or group name.
For example: jdoe
Type an asterisk to match any user name or group.
Printer Name
The name of the printer when it is mapped to the View
desktop.
For example: PRINTER-2-CLR
The
mapped name does not have to match the printer name
on the client system.
Printer Driver
The name of the driver that the printer uses.
For example: HP Color LaserJet 4700 PS
IMPORTANT Because print jobs are sent directly from the
desktop
to the printer, the printer driver must be installed on
the desktop.
