Has "Use Enhanced Keyboard on Windows Client if available" GPO disappeared in View 6?

As per title,

I can't find the "Use Enhanced Keyboard on Windows Client if available" setting that used to be in View 5 Client GPO.

Group policy doesn't seem to include this anymore - can anyone confirm?

We want to pass through CAD sequence on thin clients running WES 8.1.

Can anyone advise?

I asked around and the consensus was that the feature never worked and it was a mistake for it to be in the GPO template in the first place.  Normally we don't ever remove a GPO template item if it worked in a previous release, but in this case I think that we implemented the feature then pulled it in the same release because of numerous problems and forgot to remove it from the GPO template until later.

Thanks for the info. I'll mark as answer.


I assume there is no real way to pass through "ctrl-alt-del" on a thin client to the View session now.

This confuses users when they press ctrl-alt-del and get (albeit empty through GPO) the thin client screen pop up.
