Table 5‑20. RDS Remote Session Environment Group Policy Settings (Continued)
Setting Description
Remove "Disconnect" option from Shut Down
dialog
Use this policy seing to remove the "Disconnect" option from
the Shut Down Windows dialog box in Remote Desktop
Services sessions.
You can use this policy seing to prevent users from using this
familiar method to disconnect their client from an RDS host.
If you enable this policy seing, "Disconnect" does not appear
as an option in the drop-down list in the Shut Down Windows
dialog box.
If you disable or do not congure this policy seing,
"Disconnect" is not removed from the list in the Shut Down
Windows dialog box.
N This policy seing aects only the Shut Down
Windows dialog box. It does not prevent users from using
other methods to disconnect from a Remote Desktop Services
session. This policy seing also does not prevent disconnected
sessions at the server. You can control how long a
disconnected session remains active on the server by
conguring the "Set time limit for disconnected sessions"
policy seing in the Computer >
Administrative Templates > Windows Components >
Remote Desktop Services > RD Session Host > Session Time
Limits folder.
Optimize visual experience when using
RemoteFX
Use this policy seing to specify the visual experience that
remote users will have in Remote Desktop Connection (RDC)
connections that use RemoteFX. You can use this policy to
balance the network bandwidth usage with the type of
graphics experience that is delivered.
Depending on the requirements of your users, you can reduce
network bandwidth usage by reducing the screen capture
rate. You can also reduce network bandwidth usage by
reducing the image quality (increasing the amount of image
compression that is performed).
If you have a higher than average bandwidth network, you
can maximize the utilization of bandwidth by selecting the
highest seing for screen capture rate and the highest seing
for image quality.
By default, Remote Desktop Connection sessions that use
RemoteFX are optimized for a balanced experience over LAN
conditions. If you disable or do not congure this policy
seing, Remote Desktop Connection sessions that use
RemoteFX will be the same as if the medium screen capture
rate and the medium image compression seings were
selected (the default behavior).
