Setting Description
Limit audio playback quality
Use this policy setting to limit the audio playback quality for a
Remote Desktop Services session. Limiting the quality of audio
playback can improve connection performance, particularly over
slow links.
If you enable this policy setting, you must select one of the
following: High, Medium, or Dynamic. If you select High, the audio
will be sent without any compression and with minimum latency.
This requires a large amount of bandwidth. If you select Medium,
the audio will be sent with some compression and with minimum
latency as determined by the codec that is being used. If you select
Dynamic, the audio will be sent with a level of compression that is
determined by the bandwidth of the remote connection.
The audio playback quality that you specify on the remote computer
by using this policy setting is the maximum quality that can be used
for a Remote Desktop Services session, regardless of the audio
playback quality configured on the client computer. For example, if
the audio playback quality configured on the client computer is
higher than the audio playback quality configured on the remote
computer, the lower level of audio playback quality will be used.
Audio playback quality can be configured on the client computer by
using the audioqualitymode setting in a Remote Desktop Protocol
(.rdp) file. By default, audio playback quality is set to Dynamic.
Do not allow clipboard redirection
Specifies whether to prevent the sharing of clipboard contents
(clipboard redirection) between a remote computer and a client
computer during a Remote Desktop Services session.
You can use this setting to prevent users from redirecting clipboard
data to and from the remote computer and the local computer. By
default, Remote Desktop Services allows clipboard redirection.
If you enable this setting, users cannot redirect clipboard data.
If you disable this setting, Remote Desktop Services always allows
clipboard redirection.
If you do not configure this setting, clipboard redirection is not
specified at the Group Policy level. However, an administrator can
still disable clipboard redirection using the Remote Desktop
Session Host Configuration tool.
