Configure Windows Client-to-Agent Redirection Using Group Policy Settings

The UNC Path Redirection ADMX template file (uncRedirection.admx) contains Microsoft Windows group policy settings that you can use to create rules that redirect UNC Path from a Windows client to a remote desktop or published application (client-to-agent redirection).

To create a rule for Windows client-to-agent redirection, you use the Remote Item option to specify the display name of a desktop or application pool and the Agent Rules option to specify the UNC Path that should be redirected to the remote desktop or published application. You must also use the Broker Hostname option to specify the IP address or fully qualified domain name of the connection broker host to use when redirecting the UNC Path to a remote desktop or published application.

For example, for security purposes you might want all UNC Paths that point to the company network to be opened in a remote desktop. In this case, you might set the Agent Rules option to .* rule.
