Description
Determines whether users can connect to and use desktops running on vCenter
Server instances. If set to Deny, users must check out the desktop on their local
computers and run the desktop only in local mode. Restricting users to running
desktops only in local mode reduces the costs associated with CPU, memory, and
network bandwidth requirements of running the desktop on a back-end server.
The default value is Allow.
Determines whether to enable hardware acceleration of the PCoIP display
protocol and specifies the acceleration priority that is assigned to the PCoIP user
session.
This setting has an effect only if a PCoIP hardware acceleration device is present
on the physical computer that hosts the desktop.
The default value is Allow at Medium priority.
Description
Determines whether users can check out desktops for local use. Also
determines whether users can run local desktops while the desktops are
checked out. The default value is Allow.
If you change this value to Deny while a desktop is checked out, the user
cannot run the desktop in local mode, and the desktop cannot be used
remotely because it is still checked out.
Determines whether users can discard a local desktop and revert to the
remote version.
When a user initiates the rollback process, the lock on the remote desktop
is released and the local desktop is discarded. If necessary, the user can
manually remove and delete the local folder that contains the local desktop
data.
The default value is Allow.
Specifies the amount of time in days that a local desktop can run without
making contact with View Connection Server for policy updates. If the
specified time limit is exceeded, View Client displays a warning message
to the user and suspends the desktop.
The default value is 7 days.
