Horizon View Client - Disable last uer name caching

I'm setting up VDI for training rooms and would like the view client to not show the last user name of the person who logged in last.   Is there a GPO/Registry for this?

I didn't use this myself yet, so I'm not 100% sure whether this works for you.

Anyway, take a look at https://www.vmware.com/pdf/horizon-view/horizon-view-client-windows-document.pdf which explains how to define a "Logon Username" in the registry, or via a group policy (vdm_client.adm).

Hi a.p.

Unfortunately it doesn't show what I'm looking for.  It shows how to define a specific account to login with.

Unfortunately I need to clear the name of the account who last logged on.  

Thanks for the response a.p.

Hi BigDigital,

There is MS GPO for this, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/31012

This is why typically our Gold images use a local account for updating.  Users see whatever we named that account, rather then someone else's name.
