Horizon client 4.5.0 Build 5650915 log in as current user

[edwyche1]

I am using Horizon client 4.5.0 Build 5650915 and when I select log in as current user it logs and then when I disconnect and close the Horizon client then open back up log in as current user is unchecked.  I tried to use the GPO template but it will not work until you convert it to a admx file.  VMware does not supply new versions that are admx for the client,  How can I het the check box for log in as current user to stay checked.  I looked into the registry but didn't find anything.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Try this setting:

Registry Hive	HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Registry Path	Software\Policies\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Client\Security
Value Name	LogInAsCurrentUser
Value Type	REG_DWORD
Enabled Value	1
Disabled Value	0

I have tried that also and it doesn't stick.

as an idea:

did you tried "View Auto-Connection Utility"

We have the same issue.  View Client 4.5 does not seem to properly read the LogInAsCurrentUser settings from 7.2 GPO vdm_client.admx or registry entries.

Adding "-LogInAsCurrentUser true" to shortcut does work.  However, we also provide shortcuts to applications via URI, and I do not believe I can pass LogInAsCurrentUser option using that method.

We opened an SR with VMware and were told they are aware of this issue and will be resolved with 4.6 Client.

After searching for nearly 4 hours I found this post here.

I have the same issue after the upgrade form 4.4 to 4.5 and tried everything to get it run.

Does anybody know when the Client 4.6 will be available?

thanks
