For more information about these settings and their security implications, see the VMware Horizon View
Administration document.
Security-Related Settings in the Scripting Definitions Section of the View Client
Configuration Template
Security-related settings are provided in the Scripting Definitions section of the ADM template file for View
Client (vdm_client.adm). Unless noted otherwise, the settings include both a Computer Configuration setting
and a User Configuration setting. If you define a User Configuration setting, it overrides the equivalent
Computer Configuration setting.
Settings for Scripting Definitions are stored in the registry on the host machine under
HKLM\Software\Policies\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Client.
