This policy setting sets the schedule for background uploading of a roaming user profile’s registry file (ntuser. dat). This policy setting controls only the uploading of a roaming user profile’s registry file (other user data and regular profiles are not be uploaded) and uploads it only if the user is logged on. This policy setting does not stop the roaming user profile’s registry file from being uploaded at user logoff. If “Run at set interval” is chosen then an interval must be set with a value of 1-720 hours. Once set Windows uploads the profile’s registry file at the specified interval after the user logs on. For example with a value of 6 hours the registry file of the roaming user profile is uploaded to the server every six hours while the user is logged on. If “Run at specified time of day” is chosen then a time of day must be specified. Once set Windows uploads the registry file at the same time every day as long as the user is logged on. For both scheduling options there is a random one hour delay attached per-trigger to avoid overloading the server with simultaneous uploads. For example if the settings dictate that the user’s registry file is to be uploaded at 6pm it will actually upload at a random time between 6pm and 7pm. Note: If “Run at set interval” is selected the “Time of day” option is disregarded. Likewise if “Run at set time of day” is chosen the “Interval (hours)” option is disregarded. If you enable this policy setting Windows uploads the registry file of the user’s roaming user profile in the background according to the schedule set here while the user is logged on. Regular profiles are not affected. If this setting is disabled or not configured the registry file for a roaming user profile will not be uploaded in the background while the user is logged on.

This policy setting allows you to limit the audio playback quality for a Remote Desktop Services session. Limiting the quality of audio playback can improve connection performance particularly over slow links. If you enable this policy setting you must select one of the following: High Medium or Dynamic. If you select High the audio will be sent without any compression and with minimum latency. This requires a large amount of bandwidth. If you select Medium the audio will be sent with some compression and with minimum latency as determined by the codec that is being used. If you select Dynamic the audio will be sent with a level of compression that is determined by the bandwidth of the remote connection. The audio playback quality that you specify on the remote computer by using this policy setting is the maximum quality that can be used for a Remote Desktop Services session regardless of the audio playback quality configured on the client computer. For example if the audio playback quality configured on the client computer is higher than the audio playback quality configured on the remote computer the lower level of audio playback quality will be used. Audio playback quality can be configured on the client computer by using the audioqualitymode setting in a Remote Desktop Protocol (. rdp) file. By default audio playback quality is set to Dynamic. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting audio playback quality will be set to Dynamic.

This policy setting allows you to specify whether users can record audio to the remote computer in a Remote Desktop Services session. Users can specify whether to record audio to the remote computer by configuring the remote audio settings on the Local Resources tab in Remote Desktop Connection (RDC). Users can record audio by using an audio input device on the local computer such as a built-in microphone. By default audio recording redirection is not allowed when connecting to a computer running Windows Server 2008 R2. Audio recording redirection is allowed by default when connecting to a computer running at least Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. If you enable this policy setting audio recording redirection is allowed. If you disable this policy setting audio recording redirection is not allowed even if audio recording redirection is specified in RDC. If you do not configure this policy setting Audio recording redirection is not specified at the Group Policy level.

This policy setting allows you to limit the number of monitors that a user can use to display a Remote Desktop Services session. Limiting the number of monitors to display a Remote Desktop Services session can improve connection performance particularly over slow links and reduce server load. If you enable this policy setting you can specify the number of monitors that can be used to display a Remote Desktop Services session. You can specify a number from 1 to 16. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting the number of monitors that can be used to display a Remote Desktop Services session is not specified at the Group Policy level.

This policy setting allows you to specify the maximum display resolution that can be used by each monitor used to display a Remote Desktop Services session. Limiting the resolution used to display a remote session can improve connection performance particularly over slow links and reduce server load. If you enable this policy setting you must specify a resolution width and height. The resolution specified will be the maximum resolution that can be used by each monitor used to display a Remote Desktop Services session. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting the maximum resolution that can be used by each monitor to display a Remote Desktop Services session will be determined by the values specified on the Display Settings tab in the Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration tool.

This policy setting allows you to select the UDP port the Teredo client will use to send packets. If you leave the default of 0 the operating system will select a port (recommended). If you select a UDP port that is already in use by a system the Teredo client will fail to initialize. If you enable this policy setting you can customize a UDP port for the Teredo client. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting the local host setting is used.

This policy setting allows you to set Teredo to be ready to communicate a process referred to as qualification. By default Teredo enters a dormant state when not in use. The qualification process brings it out of a dormant state. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting the local host setting is used. This policy setting contains only one state:Policy Enabled State: If Default Qualified is enabled Teredo will attempt qualification immediately and remain qualified if the qualification process succeeds.

This policy setting allows you to configure IP-HTTPS a tunneling technology that uses the HTTPS protocol to provide IP connectivity to a remote network. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting the local host settings are used. If you enable this policy setting you can specify an IP-HTTPS server URL. You will be able to configure IP-HTTPS with one of the following settings:Policy Default State: The IP-HTTPS interface is used when there are no other connectivity options. Policy Enabled State: The IP-HTTPS interface is always present even if the host has other connectivity options. Policy Disabled State: No IP-HTTPS interfaces are present on the host.

This policy setting allows you to configure IP Stateless Autoconfiguration Limits. If you enable or do not configure this policy setting IP Stateless Autoconfiguration Limits will be enabled and system will limit the number of autoconfigured addresses and routes. If you disable this policy setting IP Stateless Autoconfiguration Limits will be disabled and system will not limit the number of autoconfigured addresses and routes.

This policy setting allows you to configure Teredo an address assignment and automatic tunneling technology that provides unicast IPv6 connectivity across the IPv4 Internet. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting the local host settings are used. If you enable this policy setting you can configure Teredo with one of the following settings:Default: The default state is “Client. “Disabled: No Teredo interfaces are present on the host. Client: The Teredo interface is present only when the host is not on a network that includes a domain controller. Enterprise Client: The Teredo interface is always present even if the host is on a network that includes a domain controller.
