Currently, all of my users connect to a vmware view linked clone desktop through a samsung zero client. Their profiles are managed through view persona, and it works quite well as far as their desk zero client is concerned.
We have a handful of conference rooms that are still running on physical workstations. The only piece holding me back from replacing the workstations with a zero client is the inability to process additional Group Policy Objects based on the location. I like the idea of users being able to access their own virtual desktop from any conference room, but I need to be able to increase the screen saver timeout and other settings when they are presenting to a group.
I have tried to pursue WMI filtering for the GPO with the correct settings, but I can not find where the ViewClient environment variables get stored (variables such as ViewClient_MAC_Address or ViewClient_IP_Address would make this very easy) - any assistance or recommendations here would be appreciated.
The goal is to avoid having to set up another linked clone pool just for conference rooms, it presents a number of challenges that would outweigh the benefit.
