To perform drive redirection of a USB drive or internal SATA drive: ▲ Add - xfreerdpoptions='/drive:$foldname,shared folder path, share device' in the command-line arguments option. For example, -xfreerdpoptions='/drive:myfolder,/home/user,/dev/sda2' shares the / home/user on the /dev/sda2 drive as myfolder in a VMware Horizon View connection. For more details, see Using mass storage redirection with RDP on page 42. Using printer redirection with VMware Horizon View For connections made with the PCoIP protocol on x86 units, printers can be shared using VMware Horizon View's high-level printer redirection or USBR. PCoIP connections on ARM units support only USBR printer redirection. For connections made with the RDP protocol, see Using printer redirection with RDP on page 43 for more information. Using audio redirection with VMware Horizon View If you do not need the audio recording capability, use high-level audio redirection. Audio will play out of the 3.5 mm jack or, by default, a USB headset if it is plugged in. Use the local audio manager to adjust the input/ output level, select playback, and capture devices. The VMware Horizon View client supports high-level audio-record redirection only via the PCoIP connection type on x86 units when connecting to a server running VMware Horizon View 5.2 Feature Pack 2 or higher. If you need audio-recording support and are using a different configuration, use one of the following methods: ● If your system uses VMware Horizon View Client 1.7 or higher, use the RDP protocol to allow for highlevel audio redirection through either the 3.5 mm jack or a USB headset. NOTE: To use high-level audio-record redirection through the RDP protocol, the server must support it and be configured to allow audio recording over a remote session. The server must be running Windows 7 or greater. You also must make sure the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control \Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\fDisableAudioCapture registry key is set to 0. ● If you have a USB headset with a microphone, you can use USBR. Set the USB headset to be redirected into the session. The headset will show up as an audio device. By default, USB audio devices are not redirected and the VMware Horizon View client uses high-level audio redirection. To redirect the USB headset, use the thin client's USB Manager and select the USB headset to be redirected. Make sure that VMware Horizon View is selected as the USBR protocol and make sure that the headset is checked under the Devices to be redirected. NOTE: VMware and HP do not recommend using USBR for headsets. A large amount network bandwidth is required to stream audio data over the USBR protocol. Also, you might experience poor audio quality with this method. Using smart card redirection with VMware Horizon View To use a smart card to log in to the VMware Horizon View server: 1. Be sure smart card login is enabled in the VMware Horizon View Connection Manager. After starting the connection, the VMware Horizon View client will display a list of server credentials. 2. To unlock the credentials and access the VMware Horizon View Manager server, type the appropriate PIN for the server. Using device redirection with VMware Horizon View 49

To perform drive redirection of a USB drive or internal SATA drive:
▲
Add
- xfreerdpoptions=’/drive:$foldname,shared folder path, share
device’
in the command-line arguments option.
For example,
–xfreerdpoptions=’/drive:myfolder,/home/user,/dev/sda2'
shares the
/
home/user
on the
/dev/sda2
drive as
myfolder
in a VMware Horizon View connection.

If you do not need the audio recording capability, use high-level audio redirection. Audio will play out of the
3.5 mm jack or, by default, a USB headset if it is plugged in. Use the local audio manager to adjust the input/
output level, select playback, and capture devices.
The VMware Horizon View client supports high-level audio-record redirection only via the PCoIP connection
type on x86 units when connecting to a server running VMware Horizon View 5.2 Feature Pack 2 or higher. If
you need audio-recording support and are using a
different
configuration,
use one of the following methods:
●
If your system uses VMware Horizon View Client 1.7 or higher, use the RDP protocol to allow for high-
level audio redirection through either the 3.5 mm jack or a USB headset.
NOTE:
To use high-level audio-record redirection through the RDP protocol, the server must support it
and be
configured
to allow audio recording over a remote session. The server must be running Windows
7 or greater. You also must make sure the
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\fDisableAudioCapture
registry key is set to
0
.
●
If you have a USB headset with a microphone, you can use USBR. Set the USB headset to be redirected
into the session. The headset will show up as an audio device. By default, USB audio devices are not
redirected and the VMware Horizon View client uses high-level audio redirection. To redirect the USB
headset, use the thin client’s USB Manager and select the USB headset to be redirected. Make sure that
VMware Horizon View
is selected as the USBR protocol and make sure that the headset is checked under
the
Devices
to be redirected.
NOTE:
VMware and HP do not recommend using USBR for headsets. A large amount network
bandwidth is required to stream audio data over the USBR protocol. Also, you might experience poor
audio quality with this method.
Using smart card redirection with VMware Horizon View
To use a smart card to log in to the VMware Horizon View server:
1.
Be sure smart card login is enabled in the VMware Horizon View Connection Manager.
After starting the connection, the VMware Horizon View client will display a list of server credentials.
2.

for the server.
