If you are looking to configure COM or LPT redirection in XenDesktop 7.x, you might be at a loss when you find the policies aren’t where you’d expect them.\u00a0 Fortunately, the functionality still exists, however its days are numbered.\u00a0 Citrix has officially deprecated <\/a>the feature and now requires that you add registry values to your master image in order to enable the functionality.\u00a0 It should be noted that for desktops you’ll also need LA5252.
