Setting Description
Restrict Remote Desktop Services users to a
single Remote Desktop Services session
Use this policy setting to restrict users to a single Remote Desktop
Services session.
If you enable this policy setting, users who log on remotely using
Remote Desktop Services will be restricted to a single session
(either active or disconnected) on that server. If the user leaves the
session in a disconnected state, the user automatically reconnects
to that session at next logon.
If you disable this policy setting, users are allowed to make
unlimited simultaneous remote connections using Remote Desktop
Services.
If you do not configure this policy setting, the "Restrict each user to
one session" setting in the Remote Desktop Session Host
Configuration tool will determine if users are restricted to a single
Remote Desktop Services session.
Allow remote start of unlisted programs
Use this policy setting to specify whether remote users can start
any program on the RDS host when they start a Remote Desktop
Services session, or whether they can only start programs that are
listed in the RemoteApp Programs list.
You can control which programs on an RDS host can be started
remotely by using the RemoteApp Manager tool to create a list of
RemoteApp programs. By default, only programs in the RemoteApp
Programs list can be started when a user starts a Remote Desktop
Services session.
If you enable this policy setting, remote users can start any program
on the RDS host when they start a Remote Desktop Services
session. For example, a remote user can start any program by
specifying the program's executable path at connection time by
using the Remote Desktop Connection client.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, remote users
can only start programs that are listed in the RemoteApp Programs
list in RemoteApp Manager when they start a Remote Desktop
Services session.
Turn off Fair Share CPU Scheduling
Fair Share CPU Scheduling dynamically distributes processor time
across all Remote Desktop Services sessions on the same RDS
host, based on the number of sessions and the demand for
processor time within each session.
If you enable this policy setting, Fair Share CPU Scheduling is
turned off.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Fair Share CPU
Scheduling is turned on.
RDS Device and Resource Redirection Settings
The RDS device and resource redirection group policy settings control access to devices and resources
on a client computer in Remote Desktop Services sessions.
