Setting Default Desktops in Virtual Desktop Manager 2.1

Details

VDM 2.1 administrators can set the default desktop that thin client users log into using the vdmadmin.exe command line tool on the VDM Connection Server. This utility is available only on US English systems. 

Solution

To set the default desktop for a thin client user:

  1. Open a command prompt on the VDM Connection Server.
  2. From the command line, enter:
    C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware VDM\Server\bin\vdmadmin -D -d mydesktop -u <Domain>\<Username>

Running the command creates an entry in LDAP to ensure that thin client users who are entitled to multiple desktops only have access to the default desktop after this command is run. Users who are entitled to multiple desktops only have access to the default desktop after this command is run. Users can set their own default desktops but only after logging into the thin client.
