Configuring Remote Desktop Features

Table 5‑20. RDS Remote Session Environment Group Policy Settings (Continued)
Setting Description
Configure RemoteFX
Use this policy seing to control the availability of RemoteFX
on both a Remote Desktop Virtualization Host (RD
Virtualization host) and an RDS host.
When deployed on an RD Virtualization host, RemoteFX
delivers a rich user experience by rendering content on the
server by using graphics processing units (GPUs) or
hardware. By default, RemoteFX for RD Virtualization Host
uses server-side GPUs or hardware to deliver a rich user
experience over LAN connections and RDP 7.1.
When deployed on an RDS host, RemoteFX delivers a rich
user experience by using a hardware-accelerated compression
scheme.
If you enable this policy seing, RemoteFX will be used to
deliver a rich user experience over LAN connections and RDP
7.1.
If you disable this policy seing, RemoteFX will be disabled.
If you do not congure this policy seing, the default behavior
will be used. By default, RemoteFX for RD Virtualization host
is enabled and RemoteFX for RDS host is disabled.
Limit maximum display resolution
Use this policy seing 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 seing, you must specify a resolution
width and height. The resolution specied 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 congure this policy seing, the
maximum resolution that can be used by each monitor to
display a Remote Desktop Services session will be determined
by the values specied on the Display Seings tab in the
Remote Desktop Session Host Conguration tool.
Limit maximum number of monitors
Use this policy seing 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 seing, 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 10.
If you disable or do not congure this policy seing, the
number of monitors that can be used to display a Remote
Desktop Services session is determined by the value specied
in the "Maximum number of monitors per session" box on the
Display Seings tab in the Remote Desktop Session Host
Conguration tool.
