You can turn on the build-to-lossless feature by disabling the Turn off Build-to-Lossless feature group
policy setting. See “View PCoIP Session Bandwidth Variables,” on page 207.
Using Remote Desktop Services Group Policies
You can use Remote Desktop Services (RDS) group policies to control the configuration and performance of
RDS hosts and RDS desktop and application sessions. View provides ADMX files that contain the Microsoft
RDS group policies that are supported in View.
As a best practice, configure the group policies that are provided in the View ADMX files rather than the
corresponding Microsoft group policies. The View group policies are certified to support your View
deployment.
Add the Remote Desktop Services ADMX Files to Active Directory
You can add the policy settings in the View RDS ADMX files to group policy objects (GPOs) in Active
Directory. You can also install the RDS ADMX files on individual RDS hosts.
Prerequisites
n
Create GPOs for the RDS group policy settings and link them to the OU that contains your RDS hosts.
n
Verify that the Group Policy Management feature is available on your Active Directory server.
The steps for opening the Group Policy Management Console differ in the Windows 2012, Windows
2008, and Windows 2003 Active Directory versions. See “Create GPOs for View Group Policies,” on
page 223.
Procedure
1 Download the View GPO Bundle .zip file from the VMware Horizon (with View) download site at
http://www.vmware.com/go/downloadview.
The file is named VMware-Horizon-View-GPO-Bundle-x.x.x-yyyyyyy.zip, where x.x.x is the version and
yyyyyyy is the build number. All ADM and ADMX files that provide group policy settings for View are
available in this file.
2 Unzip the VMware-Horizon-View-GPO-Bundle-x.x.x-yyyyyyy.zip file and copy the RDS ADMX files to
your Active Directory or RDS host.
a Copy the vmware_rdsh.admx and vmware_rdsh_server.admx files to the
C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions folder on your Active Directory or RDS host.
b (Optional) If you want to localize the policy settings, copy the ADML files, vmware_rdsh.adml and
vmware_rdsh_server.adml to the appropriate subfolder in C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\ on your
Active Directory or RDS host.
3 On the Active Directory host, open the Group Policy Management Editor.
On an individual RDS host, you can open the Local Group Policy Editor with the gpedit.msc utility.
The View RDS group policy settings are installed in the Computer Configuration > Policies >
Administrative Templates > Windows Components > View RDSH Services > Remote Desktop
Session Host folder.
4 (Optional) Configure the group policy settings in the View RDSH Services > Remote Desktop Session
Host folder.
