Table 8-4 VMware Horizon View Connection Manager > RDP Options (continued) Option Description ● Use remembered hosts; warn if unknown or invalid certificate ● Skip remembered hosts; warn if unknown or invalid certificate ● Connect only to pre-approved RDP servers Hostname to send Normally, the thin client's hostname is used for Client Access Licenses. This field allows a different value to be sent. TIP: Click the ? icon next to this option for more information. Load Balance Info Use this option with a brokered RDP connection. TIP: Click the ? icon next to this option for more information. Remote computer sound Specifies where the remote computer's sound should be played (remotely or locally) or if it should not be played at all. Enable port mapping Maps the thin client's serial and parallel ports to the remote session. Enable printer mapping Maps the local print queue to the remote session. Use this option if either USB redirection is unavailable on the remote host or the printer is a parallel or serial printer. Configure the printer to use a local printer spooler, and the VMware Horizon View client automatically sets up a remote printer that sends print spooling commands through a virtual channel from the remote host to the thin client. This method requires both that the printer be configured on the thin client and a Windows driver be specified on the thin client because the VMware Horizon View client needs to specify to the remote host which driver to use for the remote printer. This Windows driver must match the driver that the printer would use when locally attached to a Windows operating system. This information is usually found under the Model in the printer properties.
