View Agent-Enforced USB Settings
The following table describes each agent-enforced policy setting for USB in the View Agent Configuration
ADM template file. View Agent uses the settings to decide if a USB device can be forwarded to the host
machine. View Agent also passes the settings to Horizon Client for interpretation and enforcement
according to whether you specify the merge (m) or override (o) modifier. Horizon Client uses the settings to
decide if a USB device is available for redirection. As View Agent always enforces an agent-enforced policy
setting that you specify, the effect might be to counteract the policy that you have set for Horizon Client. For
a description of how View applies the policies for filtering USB devices, see “Configuring Filter Policy
Settings for USB Devices,” on page 189.

Setting Properties
Exclude All Devices
Property: ExcludeAllDevices
Excludes all USB devices from being forwarded. If set to true, you can use other
policy settings to allow specific devices or families of devices to be forwarded. If set
to false, you can use other policy settings to prevent specific devices or families of
devices from being forwarded.
If set to true and passed to Horizon Client, this setting always overrides the setting
on Horizon Client. You cannot use the merge (m) or override (o) modifier with this
setting.
The default value is undefined, which equates to false.
Exclude Device Family
Property: ExcludeFamily
Excludes families of devices from being forwarded. The format of the setting is {m|
o}:family_name_1[;family_name_2]...
For example: o:bluetooth;smart-card
If you have enabled automatic device splitting, View examines the device family of
each interface of a composite USB device to decide which interfaces should be
excluded. If you have disabled automatic device splitting, View examines the device
family of the whole composite USB device.
The default value is undefined.
Exclude Vid/Pid Device
Property: ExcludeVidPid
Excludes devices with specified vendor and product IDs from being forwarded. The
format of the setting is {m|o}:vid-xxx1_pid-yyy2[;vid-xxx2_pid-yyy2]...
You must specify ID numbers in hexadecimal. You can use the wildcard character (*)
in place of individual digits in an ID.
For example: m:vid-0781_pid-****;vid-0561_pid-554c
The default value is undefined.
Include Device Family
Property: IncludeFamily
Includes families of devices that can be forwarded. The format of the setting is {m|
o}:family_name_1[;family_name_2]...
For example: m:storage
The default value is undefined.
Include Vid/Pid Device
Property: IncludeVidPid
Includes devices with specified vendor and product IDs that can be forwarded. The
format of the setting is {m|o}:vid-xxx1_pid-yyy2[;vid-xxx2_pid-yyy2]...
You must specify ID numbers in hexadecimal. You can use the wildcard character (*)
in place of individual digits in an ID.
For example: o:vid-0561_pid-554c
The default value is undefined.
Client-Interpreted USB Settings
The following table describes each client-interpreted policy setting in the View Agent Configuration ADM
template file. View Agent does not enforce these settings. View Agent passes the settings to Horizon Client
for interpretation and enforcement. Horizon Client uses the settings to decide if a USB device is available for
redirection.
