The tuning of VMware View and many policy settings can be accomplished via Active Directory group policy. These settings are not in Active Directory by default and must be loaded. In today’s post, I will walk through the steps to load the VMware View administrative template (ADM) files into AD.
To get the process started, find the ADM templates on one of the View connection servers already installed. The files are stored in the following folder location: c:\install directory\VMware\Vmware View\Server\extras\GroupPolicyFiles

Once you have located the files, copy them to a server that you will use for editing Group Policy. For the purpose of this walkthrough, I have copied to one of my lab domain controllers.

To confirm that the new templates are loaded, I have expanded the sections that they are imported into. You can now see in the Computer Configuration we have several new templates loaded that will allow for customized settings. There is also two templates loaded into the User Configuration section.
Once these templates are loaded you are ready to begin to adjust any setting necessary for your View install. Note that if you require multiple View pools with different settings you will need to create separate AD OUs and apply the templates to them for customization.
