Redirect folders on primary computers only
This policy setting controls whether folders are redirected on a user’s primary computers only. This policy setting is useful to improve logon performance and to increase security for user data on computers where the user might not want to download private data such as on a meeting room computer or on a computer in a remote office. To designate a user’s primary computers an administrator must use management software or a script to add primary computer attributes to the user’s account in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). This policy setting also requires the Windows Server 2012 version of the Active Directory schema to function. If you enable this policy setting and the user has redirected folders such as the Documents and Pictures folders the folders are redirected on the user’s primary computer only. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting and the user has redirected folders the folders are redirected on every computer that the user logs on to. Note: If you enable this policy setting in Computer Configuration and User Configuration the Computer Configuration policy setting takes precedence.

Enable optimized move of contents in Offline Files cache on Folder Redirection server path change
This policy setting controls whether the contents of redirected folders is copied from the old location to the new location or simply renamed in the Offline Files cache when a folder is redirected to a new location. If you enable this policy setting when the path to a redirected folder is changed from one network location to another and Folder Redirection is configured to move the content to the new location instead of copying the content to the new location the cached content is renamed in the local cache and not copied to the new location. To use this policy setting you must move or restore the server content to the new network location using a method that preserves the state of the files including their timestamps before updating the Folder Redirection location. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting when the path to a redirected folder is changed and Folder Redirection is configured to move the content to the new location Windows copies the contents of the local cache to the new network location then deleted the content from the old network location.
Do not automatically make specific redirected folders available offline
This policy setting allows you to control whether individual redirected shell folders are available offline by default. For the folders affected by this setting users must manually select the files they wish to make available offline. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting all redirected shell folders are automatically made available offline. All subfolders within the redirected folders are also made available offline. Note: This policy setting does not prevent files from being automatically cached if the network share is configured for “Automatic Caching” nor does it affect the availability of the “Always available offline” menu option in the user interface. Note: The configuration of this policy for any folder will override the configured value of “Do not automatically make all redirected folders available offline”.

If you disable or don’t configure this setting Windows when started from a Windows To Go workspace can use standby states to make the PC sleep.
Allow hibernate (S4) when starting from a Windows To Go workspace
Specifies whether the PC can use the hibernation sleep state (S4) when started from a Windows To Go workspace.

Windows To Go Default Startup Options
This policy setting controls whether the PC will boot to Windows To Go if a USB device containing a Windows To Go workspace is connected and controls whether users can make changes using the Windows To Go Startup Options Control Panel item. If you enable this setting booting to Windows To Go when a USB device is connected will be enabled and users will not be able to make changes using the Windows To Go Startup Options Control Panel item. If you disable this setting booting to Windows To Go when a USB device is connected will not be enabled unless a user configures the option manually in the BIOS or other boot order configuration. If you do not configure this setting users who are members of the Administrators group can make changes using the Windows To Go Startup Options Control Panel item.
Allow or Disallow use of encryption to protect the RPC protocol messages between File Share Shadow Copy Provider running on application server and File Share Shadow Copy Agent running on the file servers.
Determines whether the RPC protocol messagese used by VSS for SMB2 File Shares feature is enabled. VSS for SMB2 File Shares feature enables VSS aware backup applications to perform application consistent backup and restore of VSS aware applications storing data on SMB2 File Shares. By default the RPC protocol message between File Server VSS provider and File Server VSS Agent is signed but not encrypted. Note: To make changes to this setting effective you must restart Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) Service .
Configure maximum age of file server shadow copies
This policy setting configures the maximum age of a file share shadow copy. File share shadow copies that are older than this age will be deleted by the File Share Shadow Copy Agent. Both the exposed shadow copy share and the corresponding volume shadow copy will be deleted. If you enable this policy setting the value specified determines the maximum age of a file share shadow copy. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting file share shadow copies older than 24 hours will be deleted.
