Table 8-4 VMware Horizon View Connection Manager > RDP Options (continued)
Option Description
●
Skip remembered hosts; warn if unknown or invalid certificate
●
Connect only to pre-approved RDP servers
Hostname to send Sends the hostname to the remote system for this connection.
Load Balance Info Use this option with a brokered RDP connection. Enter the URL found in any of
the .desktop files of the Web Interface.
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 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 RDP client
automatically sets up a remote printer that sends print spooling commands
through a virtual channel from the remote host to the client.
This method requires both that the printer be configured on the client and a
Windows driver be specified on the client because the RDP 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.
Shared folders Add, Remove, or Edit shared folders.
