The URL Content Redirection ADMX template file, called urlRedirection.admx, contains settings that enable you to control whether a URL link is opened on the client (agent-to-client redirection) or in a remote desktop or published application (client-to-agent redirection).
To apply the URL Content Redirection group policy settings to your remote desktops and published applications, add the ADMX template file to GPOs on your Active Directory server. For rules regarding URL links clicked in a remote desktop or published application, the GPOs must be linked to the OU that contains your virtual desktops and RDS hosts.
You can also apply the group policy settings to a GPO that is linked to the OU that contains your Windows client computers, but the preferred method for configuring client-to-agent redirection is to use the vdmutil command-line utility. Because macOS does not support GPOs, you must use vmdutil if you have Mac clients.
Prerequisites
- Verify that the URL Content Redirection feature is included when you install Horizon Agent. See Installing Horizon Agent with the URL Content Redirection Feature.
- Verify that Active Directory GPOs are created for the URL Content Redirection group policy settings.
- Verify that the MMC and the Group Policy Management Editor snap-in are available on your Active Directory server.
