Setting
Computer User Properties
ConnectionTicketTimeout
X Specifies the amount of time in seconds that the View
connection ticket is valid.
View clients use a connection ticket for verification and
single sign-on when connecting to View Agent. For security
reasons, a connection ticket is valid for a limited amount of
time. When a user connects to a View desktop,
authentication must take place within the connection ticket
timeout period or the session times out.
If this setting is not configured, the default timeout period
is 900 seconds.
CredentialFilterExceptions
X Specifies the executable files that are not allowed to load
the agent CredentialFilter. Filenames must not include a
path or suffix. Use a semicolon to separate multiple
filenames.
Disable Time Zone
Synchronization
X X Determines whether the time zone of the View desktop is
synchronized with the time zone of the connected client.
An enabled setting applies only if the Disable time zone
forwarding setting of the View Client Configuration
policy is not set to disabled.
This setting is disabled by default.
Force MMR to use software
overlay
X Determines whether the multimedia redirection (MMR)
feature uses a software overlay instead of a hardware
overlay.
MMR uses video display hardware with overlay support
for better performance. Because hardware overlays
typically exist only on the primary monitor in a multi-
monitor
system, video is not displayed when it is dragged
from the primary monitor to a secondary monitor.
Enabling this setting forces MMR to use a software overlay
on all monitors.
ShowDiskActivityIcon
X This setting is not supported in this release.
Toggle Display Settings
Control
X Determines whether to disable the Settings tab in the
Display
control panel when a client session uses the PCoIP
display protocol.
This setting is enabled by default.
Running Commands on View Desktops
You
can use the View Agent CommandsToRunOnConnect and CommandsToRunOnReconnect group policy settings to
run commands and command scripts on View desktops when users connect and reconnect.
To run a command or a command script, add the command name or the file path of the script to the group
policy setting's list of commands. For example:
date
C:\Scripts\myscript.cmd
To run scripts that require console access, prepend the -C or -c option followed by a space. For example:
-c C:\Scripts\Cli_clip.cmd
-C e:\procexp.exe
Supported file types include .CMD, .BAT, and .EXE. .VBS files will not run unless they are parsed with cscript.exe
or wscript.exe. For example:
