Re: Change Domain Drop-down Default?

rpmello · ‎05-05-2010

Since upgrading to View 4.0, I've encountered a new issue I hadn't really seen before. The value in the domain drop-down selection when logging into the View Portal is now defaulting to our root domain instead of our production domain. Is there any way to change the default back to our production domain, or simply remove the root domain altogether since it's not used for authentication?

Thanks

There is a registry string value that you can specify that will set the default domain:

HKCU\Software\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Client\MRDomain

Note it is a Current User value, you could specify this in the HKU\.default section to have it apply to all users.

You can also force the selection of a certain domain in the scripting section of the View client ADM files. Either through editing your group policy or use a local machine policy to set this.

I also think there may be a way to specify this in the command line setup when installing View Client, I thought I seen that around somewhere but I can't remember right now.

Hopefully this helps.

That would definitely help for users inside my domain, but how about users that don't login to my domain and are using VDI to access domain resources? That's my biggest segment of users and I don't have access to their PCs to make those changes.
