Post-Install Procedures for Amazon WSP

By default, it is not allowed to use extensions with Amazon Workspaces Streaming Protocol (WSP). Extensions should be enabled using Group Policy to use Biometrics for Remote Desktop with WSP.

Installing Group Policy Administrative Template files

To use the Group Policy settings that are specific to Workspaces Streaming Protocol Group Policy, administrative template wsp.admx and wsp.adml files must be added for WSP to the Central Store of the domain controller for your WorkSpaces directory.

  1. Find the wsp.admx and wsp.adml files in the C:\Program Files\Amazon\WSP directory.
  2. Copy the wsp.admx file into the \\FQDN\SYSVOL\FQDN\Policies\PolicyDefinitions folder (create it if not exists).
  3. Copy the wsp.adml file into the \\FQDN\SYSVOL\FQDN\Policies\PolicyDefinitions\en-US folder (create it if not exists).
