Specifies an alternate Layer-3 Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value for packets with the Guaranteed service type (ServiceTypeGuaranteed). The Packet Scheduler inserts the corresponding DSCP value in the IP header of the packets. This setting applies only to packets that do not conform to the flow specification. If you enable this setting you can change the default DSCP value associated with the Guaranteed service type. If you disable this setting the system uses the default DSCP value of 0. Important: If the DSCP value for this service type is specified in the registry for a particular network adapter this setting is ignored when configuring that network adapter.

Specifies an alternate Layer-3 Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value for packets with the Controlled Load service type (ServiceTypeControlledLoad). The Packet Scheduler inserts the corresponding DSCP value in the IP header of the packets. This setting applies only to packets that do not conform to the flow specification. If you enable this setting you can change the default DSCP value associated with the Controlled Load service type. If you disable this setting the system uses the default DSCP value of 0. Important: If the DSCP value for this service type is specified in the registry for a particular network adapter this setting is ignored when configuring that network adapter.

Specifies an alternate Layer-3 Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value for packets with the Best Effort service type (ServiceTypeBestEffort). The Packet Scheduler inserts the corresponding DSCP value in the IP header of the packets. This setting applies only to packets that do not conform to the flow specification. If you enable this setting you can change the default DSCP value associated with the Best Effort service type. If you disable this setting the system uses the default DSCP value of 0. Important: If the DSCP value for this service type is specified in the registry for a particular network adapter this setting is ignored when configuring that network adapter.

Specifies an alternate Layer-3 Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value for packets with the Qualitative service type (ServiceTypeQualitative).

Specifies whether or not to log events when the pruning service on a domain controller attempts to contact a computer before pruning the computer’s printers. The pruning service periodically contacts computers that have published printers to verify that the printers are still available for use. If a computer does not respond to the contact attempt the attempt is retried a specified number of times at a specified interval. The “Directory pruning retry” setting determines the number of times the attempt is retried; the default value is two retries. The “Directory Pruning Interval” setting determines the time interval between retries; the default value is every eight hours. If the computer has not responded by the last contact attempt its printers are pruned from the directory. If you enable this policy setting the contact events are recorded in the event log. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting the contact events are not recorded in the event log. Note: This setting does not affect the logging of pruning events; the actual pruning of a printer is always logged. Note: This setting is used only on domain controllers.

This policy setting allows you to manage a list of files and folders for which you want to block the “Make Available Offline” command. If you enable this policy setting the “Make Available Offline” command is not available for the files and folders that you list. To specify these files and folders click Show. In the Show Contents dialog box in the Value Name column box type the fully qualified UNC path to the file or folder. Leave the Value column field blank. If you disable this policy setting the list of files and folders is deleted including any lists inherited from lower precedence GPOs and the “Make Available Offline” command is displayed for all files and folders. If you do not configure this policy setting the “Make Available Offline” command is available for all files and folders. Notes:This policy setting appears in the Computer Configuration and User Configuration folders. If both policy settings are configured the policy settings are combined and the “Make Available Offline” command is unavailable for all specified files and folders. The “Make Available Offline” command is called “Always available offline” on computers running Windows Server 2012 Windows Server 2008 R2 Windows Server 2008 Windows 8 Windows 7 or Windows Vista. This policy setting does not prevent files from being automatically cached if the network share is configured for “Automatic Caching. ” It only affects the display of the “Make Available Offline” command in File Explorer. If the “Remove ‘Make Available Offline’ command” policy setting is enabled this setting has no effect.
