We are using Instant Clones. It’s a non-persistent Virtual Desktop.

We want to give our users the choice and then be able to persist those choices. Not force them to use just one option with a GPO that defines what they have to use.

SetUserFTA and Dynamic Environment Manager allowed it until the last Windows CU came along…

Okay so why not give them the choice to use whatever browser?

We do: Firefox, Chrome, or Edge. That’s not the problem.

The problem is with Microsofts new driver we can’t allow users to set the default browser in their VMware Instant Clone using SetUserFTA via Dynamic Environment Manager.
