You can configure Horizon Client to synchronize the toggle states of the Num Lock, Scroll Lock, and Caps Lock keys from the client system to a remote desktop by enabling a setting in Horizon Client. This setting is disabled by default.

For administrators - you can also use the Horizon Client Automatically synchronize the keypad, scroll and caps lock keys group policy setting to configure lock key synchronization. When this group policy setting is enabled or disabled, users cannot change the lock key synchronization setting in the Horizon Client user interface. For more information, see Using Group Policy Settings to Configure Horizon Client. If the Automatically synchronize the keypad, scroll and caps lock keys group policy setting is either disabled or not configured, or the Horizon Client lock key synchronization setting is not selected (the default setting), the lock key toggle state is synchronized from the remote desktop to the client system by default

For end users - if an administrator has configured lock key synchronization, you cannot change the lock key synchronization setting in Horizon Client. If an administrator has not configured lock key synchronization, or the Horizon Client lock key synchronization setting is not selected, the lock key toggle state is synchronized from the remote desktop to the client system by default.
