The method described above can easily be adapted to other similar software if required. This provides an easy and seamless way to use FSLogix to drive group-based utilization of Visio or Visio Viewer for users on RDSH platforms. Open up the FSLogix Rules Editor and create a Hiding Rule as below Next, we need to create an FSLogix Hiding Rule to stop Visio being accessible to users except those in the Visio group. vsdx files using the Viewer, and will also create some custom Registry keys in HKLM\Software\Custom\FSLogixRedirection\Visio that we can point users at our modified values. These commands will set the default HKLM\Classes entries so that users will open. Note – dependent on your version of Visio, you may need to edit the version numbers supplied here these were done using Visio 2016 Standard.

You need to make sure that the HKLM\Classes Registry keys for the Visio file types (usually. The interplay between HKLM\Classes and HKCU\Classes is discussed separately in my FTAs article here, should you require some more background. Bear in mind there are considerations around KMS/VLK as well as the 32-bit and 64-bit Office versions – this is a bit out of scope for this article but will need to be thought about.
This used to be a little tricky on RDSH platforms, as there was a Terminal Server-specific version of Visio that had to be used, but more modern versions of Visio should be fine as long as the licensing is in hand.
VSD FILE OPEN ONLINE FULL VERSION
Install Visioįirstly, you need to install the full version of Visio. I know it is tempting to remove Internet Explorer as you can do in newer versions of Windows, but the Visio Viewer still depends on it (as it is technically an IE add-on), so don’t give in to that temptation. There are a few things you will need to get sorted out before you start.
VSD FILE OPEN ONLINE HOW TO
This article discusses how to configure your system and users so that a particular group can open files using the full version of Visio, whereas all other users will simply be directed to the Visio Viewer app. Whereas Acrobat/Acrobat Reader is often quite easy to set up for different groups of users, Visio/Visio Viewer is a little more challenging, as the Viewer is integrated into Internet Explorer and doesn’t integrate particularly well with the full-fat client – especially on shared systems like RDSH/Citrix/etc. Some users need to edit and save them using the full Visio client, whereas other users simply need to be able to view them using Visio Viewer. Adobe Acrobat is a common application that exhibits this behaviour (where the power users edit the PDFs in Acrobat, and the ordinary users simply view them in Reader), but another one that often crops up is Visio. On RDSH or other shared platforms, you often find users who may need to open files either in a full editor or a cut-down viewer, dependent on whether they need to edit or just view the files in question.
