Setting Description
Set compression algorithm for RDP data
Use this policy seing to specify which Remote Desktop
Protocol (RDP) compression algorithm to use.
By default, servers use an RDP compression algorithm that is
based on the server's hardware conguration.
If you enable this policy seing, you can specify which RDP
compression algorithm to use. If you select the algorithm that
is optimized to use less memory, this option is less memory-
intensive, but uses more network bandwidth. If you select the
algorithm that is optimized to use less network bandwidth,
this option uses less network bandwidth, but is more
memory-intensive. Additionally, a third option is available
that balances memory usage and network bandwidth.
You can also choose not to use an RDP compression
algorithm. Choosing not to use an RDP compression
algorithm will use more network bandwidth and is only
recommended if you are using a hardware device that is
designed to optimize network trac. Even if you choose not
to use an RDP compression algorithm, some graphics data
will still be compressed.
If you disable or do not congure this policy seing, the
default RDP compression algorithm will be used.
Optimize visual experience for Remote Desktop
Services sessions
Use this policy seing to specify the visual experience that
remote users receive in Remote Desktop Services sessions.
Remote sessions on the remote computer are then optimized
to support this visual experience.
By default, Remote Desktop Services sessions are optimized
for rich multimedia, such as applications that use Silverlight
or Windows Presentation Foundation.
If you enable this policy seing, you must select the visual
experience for which you want to optimize Remote Desktop
Services sessions. You can select either Rich multimedia or
Text.
If you disable or do not congure this policy seing, Remote
Desktop Services sessions are optimized for rich multimedia.
