Table 5‑20. RDS Remote Session Environment Group Policy Settings
Setting Description
Limit maximum color depth
Use this policy seing to specify the maximum color
resolution (color depth) for Remote Desktop Services
connections.
You can use this policy seing to set a limit on the color depth
of any connection using RDP. Limiting the color depth can
improve connection performance, particularly over slow links,
and reduce server load.
If you enable this policy seing, the color depth that you
specify is the maximum color depth allowed for a user's
connection over RDP. The actual color depth for the
connection is determined by the color support available on the
client computer. If you select "Client Compatible," the highest
color depth supported by the client will be used.
N A color depth of 24 bit is only supported on Windows
XP Professional and Windows Server 2003.
If you disable or do not congure this policy seing, the color
depth for connections is determined by the "Limit Maximum
Color Depth" seing on the Client Seings tab in the Remote
Desktop Session Host Conguration tool, unless a lower level
is specied by the user at the time of connection.
Enforce Removal of Remote Desktop Wallpaper
Species whether desktop wallpaper is displayed to remote
clients connecting via Remote Desktop Services.
You can use this seing to enforce the removal of wallpaper
during a Remote Desktop Services session. By default,
Windows XP Professional displays wallpaper to remote clients
connecting through Remote Desktop, depending on the client
conguration. For more information, see the Experience tab in
the Remote Desktop Connection options. By default, servers
running Windows Server 2003 do not display wallpaper to
Remote Desktop Services sessions.
If you enable this seing, wallpaper never appears in a
Remote Desktop Services session.
If you disable this seing, wallpaper might appear in a
Remote Desktop Services session, depending on the client
conguration.
If you do not congure this seing, the default behavior
applies.
