Updating Foreign Security Principals Using the ‑F Option
You can use the vdmadmin command with the -F option to update the foreign security principals (FSPs) of
Windows users in Active Directory who are authorized to use a desktop.
Syntax
vdmadmin -F [-b authentication_arguments] [-u domain\user]
Usage Notes
If you trust domains outside of your local domains, you allow access by security principals in the external
domains to the local domains' resources. Active Directory uses FSPs to represent security principals in
trusted external domains. You might want to update the FSPs of users if you modify the list of trusted
external domains.
Options
The -u option specifies the name and domain of the user whose FSP you want to update. If you do not
specify this option, the command updates the FSPs of all users in Active Directory.
Examples
Update the FSP of the user Jim in the EXTERNAL domain.
vdmadmin -F -u EXTERNAL\Jim
Update the FSPs of all users in Active Directory.
vdmadmin -F
Listing and Displaying Health Monitors Using the ‑H Option
You can use the vdmadmin command -H to list the existing health monitors, to monitor instances for View
components, and to display the details of a specific health monitor or monitor instance.
Syntax
vdmadmin -H [-b authentication_arguments] -list -xml [-w | -n]
vdmadmin -H [-b authentication_arguments] -list -monitorid monitor_id -xml [-w | -n]
vdmadmin -H [-b authentication_arguments] -monitorid monitor_id -instanceid instance_id -xml [-w
| -n]
