Verify that View Agent is installed with the View Persona Management setup option on a system that is
accessible to your Active Directory server. See “Install View Agent with the View Persona Management
Option,” on page 250.
Procedure
1 Download the View GPO Bundle .zip file from the VMware Horizon 6 download site at
http://www.vmware.com/go/downloadview.
The file is named VMware-Horizon-View-Extras-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 file and copy the View Persona Management ADM Template file, ViewPM.adm, to your Active
Directory server.
3 On your Active Directory server, open the Group Policy Management Console.
For example, start the Run dialog box, type gpmc.msc, and click OK.
4 In the left pane, select the domain or OU that contains your View machines.
5 In the right pane, right-click the GPO that you created for the group policy settings and select Edit.
The Group Policy Object Editor window appears.
6 In the Group Policy Object Editor, right-click Administrative Templates under Computer
Configuration and select Add/Remove Templates.
7 Click Add, browse to the ViewPM.adm file, and click Open.
8 Click Close to apply the policy settings in the ADM Template file to the GPO.
The name of the template appears in the left pane under Administrative Templates.
What to do next
Configure the View Persona Management group policy settings on your Active Directory server.
Configure View Persona Management Policies
To use View Persona Management, you must enable the Manage user persona group policy setting, which
activates the View Persona Management software. To set up a user profile repository without using an
Active Directory user profile path, you must configure the Persona repository location group policy setting.
You can configure the optional group policy settings to configure other aspects of your View Persona
Management deployment.
If Windows roaming profiles are already configured in your deployment, you can use an existing Active
Directory user profile path. You can leave the Persona repository location setting disabled or not
configured.
