RDS Profiles Settings
The RDS Proles group policy seings control roaming prole and home directory seings for Remote
Desktop Services sessions.
Table 5‑18. RDS Profiles Group Policy Settings
Setting Description
Limit the size of the entire roaming user
profile cache
This policy seing allows you to limit the size of the entire
roaming user prole cache on the local drive. This policy
seing only applies to a computer on which the Remote
Desktop Session Host role service is installed.
N If you want to limit the size of an individual user
prole, use the Limit profile size policy seing located in
User
.
If you enable this policy seing, you must specify a
monitoring interval (in minutes) and a maximum size (in
gigabytes) for the entire roaming user prole cache. The
monitoring interval determines how often the size of the
entire roaming user prole cache is checked. When the size of
the entire roaming user prole cache exceeds the maximum
size that you have specied, the oldest (least recently used)
roaming user proles will be deleted until the size of the
entire roaming user prole cache is less than the maximum
size specied.
If you disable or do not congure this policy seing, no
restriction is placed on the size of the entire roaming user
prole cache on the local drive.
Note: This policy seing is ignored if the Prevent Roaming
Profile changes from propagating to the server
policy seing located in Computer
is enabled.
Set Remote Desktop Services User Home
Directory
Species whether Remote Desktop Services uses the specied
network share or local directory path as the root of the user's
home directory for a Remote Desktop Services session.
To use this seing, select the location for the home directory
(network or local) from the Location drop-down list. If you
choose to place the directory on a network share, type the
Home Dir Root Path in the
form \\Computername\Sharename, and then select the drive
leer to which you want the network share to be mapped.
If you choose to keep the home directory on the local
computer, type the Home Dir Root Path in the form
Drive:\Path, without environment variables or ellipses. Do
not specify a placeholder for user alias, because Remote
Desktop Services automatically appends this at logon.
N The Drive Leer eld is ignored if you choose to
specify a local path. If you choose to specify a local path but
then type the name of a network share in Home Dir Root Path,
Remote Desktop Services places user home directories in the
network location.
If the status is set to Enabled, Remote Desktop Services creates
the user's home directory in the specied location on the local
computer or the network. The home directory path for each
user is the specied Home Dir Root Path and the user's alias.
If the status is set to Disabled or Not Congured, the user's
home directory is as specied at the server.
