Client Drive Redirection also for PCoIP? And how can we disable/manage that?

[maxel]

Hi,

as i know, CDR is possible now with newer versions of Agent and Horizon , see VMware Horizon View Client Drive Redirection (2121645) | VMware KB

there i can read: CDR is supported on VDI desktops (single-user) and RDS desktops...

But, i cant find ..is ot possible with PCoIP and Blast Extreme too? Or only with RDP?

And the most important question..how can we disable that with Active Directory GPOs?  Only one i've found is this http://pubs.vmware.com/horizon-7-view/index.jsp#com.vmware.horizon-view.desktops.doc/GUID-038D74EB-A... ,but there only RDP will be mentioned. But what about PCoIP? How can we disable CDR there?

Thanks

I'm fairly certain you can use a GPO  to disable CDR.    Do a search on client redirection on the documentation and it should give you the location of the GPO.

Documentation for VMware Horizon 7

I found it in documentation, see http://pubs.vmware.com/horizon-7-view/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.horizon-view.desktops.doc%2FGUID... , but there is only RDS / RDP mentioned..but wht if i connect to my desktops with PCoIP or Blast Extreme?

Both PCoIP and Blast are supported.

To disable client drive redirection, create a new string value on remote desktop VM named  disabled and set its value to  true. 

HKLM\Software\VMware, Inc.\VMware TSDR\disabled=true

The value is  false (enabled) by default.
