Table 17‑4. Predefined Properties for the Horizon Client Property Condition
Property Corresponding Registry Key Description
Client location
ViewClient_Broker_GatewayLocation
Specifies the location of the user's client system. Valid
values are as follows:
n
Internal - the policy takes effect only if a user
connects to the remote desktop from inside the
corporate network
n
External - the policy takes effect only if a user
connects to the remote desktop from outside the
corporate network
For information about setting the gateway location for a
Connection Server or security server host, see the View
Administration document.
For information about setting the gateway location for
an Access Point appliance, see the Deploying and
Configuring Access Point document.
Launch tag(s)
ViewClient_Launch_Matched_Tags
Specifies one or more tags. Separate multiple tags with
a comma or semicolon. The policy takes effect only if
the tag that enabled the remote desktop launch to occur
matches one of the specified tags.
For information about assigning tags to Connection
Server instances and desktop pools, see “Restricting
Remote Desktop Access,” on page 160.
Pool name
ViewClient_Launch_ID
Specifies a desktop pool ID. The policy takes effect only
if the ID of the desktop pool the user selected when
launching the remote desktop matches the specified
desktop pool ID. For example, if the user selected the
Win7 pool and this property is set to Win7, the policy
takes effect.
NOTE You cannot use this property to specify an
application pool.
The Properties drop-down menu is also a text box, and you can manually enter any ViewClient_ registry
key in the text box. Do not include the ViewClient_ prefix when you enter the registry key. For example, to
specify ViewClient_Broker_URL, enter Broker_URL.
You can use the Windows Registry Editor (regedit.exe) on the remote desktop to view the ViewClient_
registry keys. Horizon Client writes client computer information to the system registry path
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment on remote desktops that are deployed on single-user machines.
For remote desktops that are deployed in RDS sessions, Horizon Client writes the client computer
information to the system registry path HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment\x, where x is the session
ID on the RDS host.
