Configuring Domain Filters - VMware View Manager 4.5 Admin Manual

VMware View Administrator's Guide
View Manager limits the domain search on each View Connection Server host in the group to exclude the
domains FARDOM and DEPTX. The characters (*) next to the exclusion list for CONSVR-1 indicates that View
Manager excludes the YOURDOM domain from the results of the domain search on CONSVR-1.
Display the domain filters in XML using ASCII characters.
vdmadmin -N -domains -list -xml -n
Display the domains that are available to View Manager on the local View Connection Server instance.
C:\ vdmadmin -N -domains -list -active

Configuring Domain Filters

You can configure domain filters to limit the domains that a View Connection Server instance or security server
makes available to end users.
View Manager determines which domains are accessible by traversing trust relationships, starting with the
domain in which a View Connection Server instance or security server resides. For a small, well-connected set
of domains, View Manager can quickly determine a full list of domains, but the time that this operation takes
increases as the number of domains increases or as the connectivity between the domains decreases. View
Manager might also include domains in the search results that you would prefer not to offer to users when
they log in to their desktops.
If you have previously set the value of the Windows registry key that controls recursive domain enumeration
(
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\RecursiveDomainEnum
searching is disabled, and the View Connection Server instance uses only the primary domain. To use the
domain filtering feature, delete the registry key or set its value to true, and restart the system. You must do
this for every View Connection Server instance on which you have set this key.
Table 16-11 shows the types of domain lists that you can specify to configure domain filtering.
