Customizing the Remote Workstation Card Software for Windows

The Remote Workstation Card Software stores configuration settings in the Windows registry. Most settings are updated using the UI. Some settings are updated using the following Group Policy Object (GPO) administrative template file, found in the PCoIP Host Software installation directory:

C:\Program Files\Teradici Corporation\PCoIP Host Software\extras\GroupPolicyFiles\pcoip_host_sw.adm

Session Disconnect Script

The one available GPO setting supports running a user-defined script when a PCoIP session is disconnected. This feature can be used to close an application running on a PC when a PCoIP session ends. To use this feature, the GPO setting must be configured with the path and file name of a script the PCoIP Remote Workstation Card Software runs when a session is disconnected while a user is logged in.

This setting can be enabled by the GPO Administrative template file.

Using the GPO Administrative Template File

To configure settings supported by the Remote Workstation Card Software administrative template file:

  1. Copy pcoip_host_sw.adm from the location described above to C:\Windows\INF on the workstation. Save the old pcoip_host_sw.adm to a different name if another pcoip_host_sw.adm is present.

  2. Click Start > Run, and then enter gpedit.msc.

  3. Navigate to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates.

  4. Right-click Administrative Templates and select Add/Remove Templates.

  5. Click Add in the dialog box that appears.

  6. In the right pane of the new window, select the pcoip_host_sw.adm file and click Open.

  7. Copy the file in the manner desired (if presented with this option).

  8. Ensure the pcoip_host_sw template is visible in the Add/Remove Templates window (remove any previous pcoip_host_sw templates) and select Close.

  9. Navigate to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Classic Administrative Templates (ADM) > PCoIP Host Software Variables > Not Overridable Administrator Settings.

    Classic Administrative Templates (ADM) location

    The Classic Administrative Templates (ADM) folder will appear after the addition of the ADM template.

  10. In the right pane, right click the Run script on PCoIP session disconnect setting and select Edit.

  11. Enter the path and file name of the script used to close an application running on a workstation and click Apply.

  12. Select the Enabled radio button and then OK.
