The network printer specified in the first row will be mapped to a remote desktop for any client system
because asterisks appear in all of the translation rule columns. The network printer specified in the second
row will be mapped to a remote desktop only if the client system has an IP address in the range
10.112.116.140 through 10.112.116.145.
Active Directory Group Policy Example
One way to implement Active Directory group policies in View is to create an OU for the View machines
that deliver remote desktop sessions and link one or more GPOs to that OU. You can use these GPOs to
apply group policy settings to your View machines.
You can link GPOs directly to a domain if the policy settings apply to all computers in the domain. As a best
practice, however, most deployments should link GPOs to individual OUs to avoid policy processing on all
computers in the domain.
You can configure policies on your Active Directory Server or on any computer in your domain. This
example shows how to configure policies directly on your Active Directory server.
NOTE Because every View environment is different, you might need to perform different steps to meet your
organization's specific needs.
Create an OU for View Machines
To apply group policies to the View machines that deliver remote desktop sessions without affecting other
Windows computers in the same Active Directory domain, create an OU specifically for your View
machines. You might create one OU for your entire View deployment or separate OUs for single-user
machines and RDS hosts.
Procedure
1 On your Active Directory server, select Start > All Programs > Administrative Tools > Active Directory
Users and Computers.
2 Right-click the domain that contains your View machines and select New > Organizational Unit.
3 Type a name for the OU and click OK.
The new OU appears in the left pane.
4 To add View machines to the new OU:
a Click Computers in the left pane.
All the computer objects in the domain appear in the right pane.
b Right-click the name of the computer object that represents the View machine in the right panel
and select Move.
c Select the OU and click OK.
The View machine appears in the right pane when you select the OU.
