Dell Hybrid Client version 2403 Administrator's Guide

Configure the File Type Association for RDP

Dell Hybrid Client supports the file type association for RDP applications. Extensions and application names that are configured from the RDP Broker agent server are fetched automatically during login. You must configure the File Affiliation settings for VDI mode. When you launch a file from File Explorer, the VDI application that supports the file type opens the file automatically.

1. Log in to Wyse Management Suite.
2. Go to the Groups & Configs page, and select your preferred group.
3. Click Edit Policies > Dell Hybrid Client 2.x.
   The Configuration Control | Dell Hybrid Client 2.x page is displayed.
4. Click the Advanced tab.
   NOTE:In Wyse Management Suite 4.0 and later versions, the FTA options under the Dell Hybrid Client policy settings are rearranged for better grouping and visibility. See, Managing the Dell Hybrid Client policy settings.
5. Expand File Affiliation and click RDP File Type Association.
6. In the RDP File Type Association Configuration section, click Add row.
   NOTE:File Type Association settings are independent of the RDP Broker settings. Both the FTA and broker settings must be configured separately based on your requirement. If FTA is configured, you can access files from Dell File Explorer with configured RDP published Applications.
