Want to allow users to copy/paste rich-text from their local machine to their View VM? Here is how to do it.
- Go to your View Connection server and browse to the following directory:
- c:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Server\extras\GroupPolicyFiles\
- Copy the pcoip.adm template and paste it on your domain controller's desktop/whereever you modify group policies for the domain.
- Create a new policy on the OU that you want for your virtual desktops (view clients)
- Edit the policy
- Expand Computer Configuration->Policies
- Right click on Administrative Templates and click Add/Remove Templates
- Click the Add... button and browse to the pcoip.adm file
- Click the Close button
- Expand Computer Configuration->Policies->Administrative Templates->Classic Administrative Templates (ADM)->PCoIP Session Variables->Overridable Administrator Defaults
- Modify the following policies to enable clipboard access
- Configure clipboard redirection
- I.e set this option to Enabled and configure clipboard redirection for Enabled in both directions.
- Configure PCoIP virtual channels
- Set this option to enabled
- Configure clipboard redirection
- Restart the desktop to ensure policies take over
Notes:
- Overridable Administrator Defaults allow administrators to change the values.
- Non-Overridable Administrator Settings prevent Administrators from changing the settings as well.
- It is only possible to copy/paste rich-text. Files are not supported at this time.
