Turn on Remote Desktop IP Virtualization
This policy setting specifies whether Remote Desktop IP Virtualization is turned on. By default Remote Desktop IP Virtualization is turned off. If you enable this policy setting Remote Desktop IP Virtualization is turned on. You can select the mode in which this setting is applied. If you are using Per Program mode you must enter a list of programs to use virtual IP addresses. List each program on a separate line (do not enter any blank lines between programs). For example:explorer. exemstsc. exeIf you disable or do not configure this policy setting Remote Desktop IP Virtualization is turned off.
Turn off Windows Installer RDS Compatibility
This policy setting specifies whether Windows Installer RDS Compatibility runs on a per user basis for fully installed applications. Windows Installer allows one instance of the msiexec process to run at a time. By default Windows Installer RDS Compatibility is turned on. If you enable this policy setting Windows Installer RDS Compatibility is turned off and only one instance of the msiexec process can run at a time. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting Windows Installer RDS Compatibility is turned on and multiple per user application installation requests are queued and handled by the msiexec process in the order in which they are received.
Turn off Fair Share CPU Scheduling
Fair Share CPU Scheduling dynamically distributes processor time across all Remote Desktop Services sessions on the same RD Session Host server based on the number of sessions and the demand for processor time within each session. If you enable this policy setting Fair Share CPU Scheduling is turned off. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting Fair Share CPU Scheduling is turned on.
Do not use Remote Desktop Session Host server IP address when virtual IP address is not available
This policy setting specifies whether a session uses the IP address of the Remote Desktop Session Host server if a virtual IP address is not available. If you enable this policy setting the IP address of the RD Session Host server is not used if a virtual IP is not available. The session will not have network connectivity. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting the IP address of the RD Session Host server is used if a virtual IP is not available.
Select the network adapter to be used for Remote Desktop IP Virtualization
This policy setting specifies the IP address and network mask that corresponds to the network adapter used for virtual IP addresses. The IP address and network mask should be entered in Classless Inter-Domain Routing notation; for example 192. 0. 2. 96/24. If you enable this policy setting the specified IP address and network mask are used to select the network adapter used for the virtual IP addresses. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting Remote Desktop IP Virtualization is turned off. A network adapter must be configured for Remote Desktop IP Virtualization to work.
Do not allow font smoothing
This policy setting allows you to specify whether font smoothing is allowed for remote connections. Font smoothing provides ClearType functionality for a remote connection. ClearType is a technology for displaying computer fonts so that they appear clear and smooth especially when you are using an LCD monitor. Because font smoothing requires additional bandwidth resources not allowing font smoothing for remote connections can improve connection performance particularly over slow links. By default font smoothing is allowed for remote connections. You can configure font smoothing on the Experience tab in Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) or by using the “allow font smoothing” setting in a Remote Desktop Protocol (. rdp) file. If you enable this policy setting font smoothing will not be allowed for remote connections even if font smoothing is enabled in RDC or in the . rdp file. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting font smoothing is allowed for remote connections.
Set time limit for logoff of RemoteApp sessions
This policy setting allows you to specify how long a user’s RemoteApp session will remain in a disconnected state after closing all RemoteApp programs before the session is logged off from the RD Session Host server. By default if a user closes a RemoteApp program the session is disconnected from the RD Session Host server but it is not logged off. If you enable this policy setting when a user closes the last running RemoteApp program associated with a session the RemoteApp session will remain in a disconnected state until the time limit that you specify is reached. When the time limit specified is reached the RemoteApp session will be logged off from the RD Session Host server. If the user starts a RemoteApp program before the time limit is reached the user will reconnect to the disconnected session on the RD Session Host server. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting when a user closes the last RemoteApp program the session will be disconnected from the RD Session Host server but it is not logged off. Note: This policy setting appears in both Computer Configuration and User Configuration. If both policy settings are configured the Computer Configuration policy setting takes precedence.
Set time limit for logoff of RemoteApp sessions
This policy setting allows you to specify how long a user’s RemoteApp session will remain in a disconnected state after closing all RemoteApp programs before the session is logged off from the RD Session Host server. By default if a user closes a RemoteApp program the session is disconnected from the RD Session Host server but it is not logged off. If you enable this policy setting when a user closes the last running RemoteApp program associated with a session the RemoteApp session will remain in a disconnected state until the time limit that you specify is reached. When the time limit specified is reached the RemoteApp session will be logged off from the RD Session Host server. If the user starts a RemoteApp program before the time limit is reached the user will reconnect to the disconnected session on the RD Session Host server. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting when a user closes the last RemoteApp program the session will be disconnected from the RD Session Host server but it is not logged off. Note: This policy setting appears in both Computer Configuration and User Configuration. If both policy settings are configured the Computer Configuration policy setting takes precedence.
Redirect only the default client printer
This policy setting allows you to specify whether the default client printer is the only printer redirected in Remote Desktop Services sessions. If you enable this policy setting only the default client printer is redirected in Remote Desktop Services sessions. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting all client printers are redirected in Remote Desktop Services sessions.

If you enable this policy setting only the default client printer is redirected in Remote Desktop Services sessions. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting all client printers are redirected in Remote Desktop Services sessions.
