using Kiosk mode and Physical desktop

[tomtom1]

We have configured Kiosk mode on Physical Desktop. When user connects to view via "Kiosk mode" he is not able to access physical desktop anymore. I was wondering is there a way we can minimize the view client and use the physical desktop at the same time?

Thanks

did you manage to find solution to this?

if not, try vdm_client.adm template, this one has got a policy setting called 'Enable the Shade' - this setting is by default disabled in Kiosk Mode so it doesn't allow me to minimize the remote desktop, when this is set to Enabled, it should allow you to work with base host OS. (I haven't tried it personally so cannot tell you with confidence but worth trying)

I haven't used this yet, but I did see a new VMware fling (View Auto-Connection Utility) you might want to check out and see if you can put it to good use: https://labs.vmware.com/flings/view-auto-connection-utility
