Setting Description
Configure RemoteFX
Use this policy setting 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 setting, RemoteFX will be used to deliver a
rich user experience over LAN connections and RDP 7.1.
If you disable this policy setting, RemoteFX will be disabled.
If you do not configure this policy setting, 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 setting 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 setting, you must specify a resolution width
and height. The resolution specified 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 configure this policy setting, the maximum
resolution that can be used by each monitor to display a Remote
Desktop Services session will be determined by the values
specified on the Display Settings tab in the Remote Desktop
Session Host Configuration tool.
Limit maximum number of monitors
Use this policy setting 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 setting, 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 configure this policy setting, the number of
monitors that can be used to display a Remote Desktop Services
session is determined by the value specified in the "Maximum
number of monitors per session" box on the Display Settings tab in
the Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration tool.
