Configuring Kiosk Mode
Configuring Automatic USB Redirection
Although access to USB devices is convenient, it can also expose the environment to data theft and malware.
USB devices are currently enabled by default when the View desktop session is launched or the devices are
plugged in. The following GPO policies are set to true at connection:
•ConnectUSBOnStartup – Connect all USB devices to the desktop on launch.
•ConnectUSBOnInsert – Connect USB devices to the desktop when they are plugged in.
To control which USB devices are redirected, configure GPO settings for the View Agent or Horizon Client. To
disable USB devices, set the USB Access policy to Deny in View Administrator. The default value for this policy
is Allow. The USB Access settings in View Administrator override the USB connection settings for a client in
kiosk mode.

and Usage in VMware Horizon with View.
Configuring Printing
Virtual printing gives kiosk users access to local or network printers without requiring that additional printer
drivers be installed in the View desktop. In virtual printing, the printers connected to the client are redirected to
the View desktop.
To make virtual printing available to kiosk users, install the Virtual Printing component of View Agent, which
includes the ThinPrint driver, on the View desktop. Kiosk users can set preferences for print quality, double-
sided printing, and so on from their View desktop sessions.
Summary
VMware Horizon with View oers a versatile kiosk mode to facilitate the use of unattended, self-service kiosks
in public and semi-public locations where anonymous access to specific applications is required. Configuration
options provide convenient user functionality at minimal acquisition (CapEx) and maintenance (OpEx) costs.
This paper describes View kiosk mode and provides references to more detailed material to help administrators
and decision makers design and implement virtual kiosks.
