What to do next
Add the View Persona Management ADM Template file to your Active Directory or local group policy
configuration.
Add the View Persona Management ADM Template File
The
View Persona Management Administrative (ADM) Template file contains group policy settings that allow
you to configure View Persona Management. Before you can configure the policies, you must add the ADM
Template file to the local systems or Active Directory server.
To configure View Persona Management on a single system, you can add the group policy settings to the Local
Computer Policy configuration on that local system.
To configure View Persona Management for a desktop pool, you can add the group policy settings to the Local
Computer Policy configuration on the virtual machine that you use as a parent or template for deploying the
desktop pool.
To configure View Persona Management at the domain-wide level and apply the configuration to many
desktops or your whole deployment, you can add the group policy settings to Group Policy Objects (GPOs)
on your Active Directory server. In Active Directory, you can create an OU for the desktops that use View
Persona Management, create one or more GPOs, and link the GPOs to the OU. To configure separate View
Persona Management policies for different types of users, you can create OUs for particular sets of desktops
and apply different GPOs to the OUs.
For example, you might create one OU for View desktops with View Persona Management and another OU
for physical computers on which the standalone View Persona Management software is installed.
For an example of implementing Active Directory group policies in View, see “Active Directory Group Policy
Example,” on page 222.
Add the Persona Management ADM Template to a Single System
To configure View Persona Management for a single desktop pool, you must add the Persona Management
ADM Template file to the Local Computer Policy on the virtual machine that you use to create the pool. To
configure View Persona Management on a single system, you must add the Persona Management ADM
Template file to that system.
