How do I Log in as a current user in VMware Horizon Client group policy?

You can configure VMware Horizon Client to automatically log in with the current user's credentials by using Group Policy. Here's how:

1. Open the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC).
2. Navigate to the desired Group Policy Object (GPO).
3. Go to Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > VMware Horizon Client.
4. Enable the "Automatically log in using the current user's credentials" policy setting.
5. Apply the GPO to the desired users or computers.

Note: This policy setting requires that the Horizon Client be configured to use the "Integrated Windows Authentication" (IWA) authentication method.

Examples:

• If you want to automatically log in all users in a specific department, you can target the GPO to the department's Active Directory group.
• If you want to automatically log in all users on a specific computer, you can target the GPO to the computer's Active Directory computer object.

Practical Insights:

• This feature can simplify the user experience by eliminating the need to manually enter credentials.
• However, it's important to consider security implications before enabling this setting.
• Ensure that the users' accounts have appropriate permissions to access the virtual desktops or applications.
