Using Scripts to Control Access to USB Printers for View Virtual Desktops in Horizon: Step-by-Step Guide

Description: This guide shows you how to add a script to a View desktop implementation in VMware Horizon to control USB printer redirection. You add a start session script (SSS) to the View Agent group policy to cause commands to run when a user connects or reconnects to a View desktop. You can control USB printer redirection based on the IP address, specific user, or machine when users access View desktops from external sites. For example, you might want to disable USB printer redirection when users are outside the firewall, or enable USB printer redirection for specific purposes or users.

USB Device Redirection in VMware Horizon with View

Description: We are all familiar with using USB devices on laptop or desktop machines. If you are working in a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment such as View, you may want to use your USB devices in the virtual desktop, too. USB device redirection is a function in View that allows USB devices to be connected to the virtual desktop as if they had been physically plugged into it. This white paper gives a high-level overview of USB remoting, discusses the configuration options, and provides some practical worked examples to illustrate how these options can be used.
