VMware View Group Policy Templates

VMware View ships with a number of group policy templates, these can continently be found on your View servers at the location shown in the image below.

I’m not going to teach you all how to suck eggs here but you will obviously want to create a group policy to deploy these templates against your View Desktops or Clients depending on which template it is you are deploying, you will do this as usual through Group Policy management and creating a GPO.

Once you are inside the Group Policy Management Editor you are able to expand Computer Configuration, Policies, Administrative Templates then Select Add / Remove Templates

You can then browse to the admin templates and add them to your GPO.

Once imported you will see the policies listed under Classic Administrative Templates (ADM)

From the user guide the breakdown of the adm files is as follows.

Template Name	Template File	Description
VMware View Agent Configuration	vdm_agent.adm	Contains policy settings related to the authentication and environmental components of View Agent.
