In our scenario without the GPO it was only able to capture the Windows Events Application, System and Security only. You need to perform the following steps: Download the Horizon 6 View GPO Bundle (VMware-Horizon-View-Extras-Bundle-3.5.0-2999900.zip) from https://my.vmware.com Downloads section. The Build number will depend on your version of Horizon View Extract the View Common Configuration Template (vdm_common.adm) from the zip bundle and copy it over to the domain controller Create a new OU and name it E.g. ViewServers and move all the Connection Server machine accounts into that OU Open gpmc.msc on the domain control...

You will be able to see the Horizon View Composer logs getting captured to the Log Insight Manager: (Example below) Thanks, Aresh
