By Another great command line tool we can use into VMware Horizon environment is called vdmutil.cmd, which can be used to create, assign and manage URL content redirection between client and agent communication.
You can check all the command related to vdmutil.cmd checking the latest documented version into VMware Docs website. As part of my study guide, I’ll check all command usage using VMware HOL Online, using Virtualizaed Workspace Services area of expertise.
vmdutil.cmd is located into View Connection Server in the following windows path:
c:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Server\tools\bin\vdmutil.cmd.
