Table 5‑21. RDS Profiles Group Policy Settings
Setting Description
Limit the size of the entire roaming user
profile cache
This policy setting allows you to limit the size of the entire roaming
user profile cache on the local drive. This policy setting only applies
to a computer on which the Remote Desktop Session Host role
service is installed.
Note If you want to limit the size of an individual user profile, use
the Limit profile size policy setting located in User
Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\System\User
Profiles.
If you enable this policy setting, you must specify a monitoring
interval (in minutes) and a maximum size (in gigabytes) for the
entire roaming user profile cache. The monitoring interval
determines how often the size of the entire roaming user profile
cache is checked. When the size of the entire roaming user profile
cache exceeds the maximum size that you have specified, the
oldest (least recently used) roaming user profiles will be deleted
until the size of the entire roaming user profile cache is less than
the maximum size specified.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, no restriction is
placed on the size of the entire roaming user profile cache on the
local drive.
Note: This policy setting is ignored if the Prevent Roaming
Profile changes from propagating to the server policy
setting located in Computer
Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\System\User
Profiles is enabled.
Set Remote Desktop Services User Home Directory
Specifies whether Remote Desktop Services uses the specified
network share or local directory path as the root of the user's home
directory for a Remote Desktop Services session.
To use this setting, select the location for the home directory
(network or local) from the Location drop-down list. If you choose to
place the directory on a network share, type the Home Dir Root
Path in the form \\Computername\Sharename, and then select the
drive letter to which you want the network share to be mapped.
If you choose to keep the home directory on the local computer,
type the Home Dir Root Path in the form Drive:\Path, without
environment variables or ellipses. Do not specify a placeholder for
user alias, because Remote Desktop Services automatically
appends this at logon.
Note The Drive Letter field is ignored if you choose to specify a
local path. If you choose to specify a local path but then type the
name of a network share in Home Dir Root Path, Remote Desktop
Services places user home directories in the network location.
If the status is set to Enabled, Remote Desktop Services creates
the user's home directory in the specified location on the local
computer or the network. The home directory path for each user is
the specified Home Dir Root Path and the user's alias.
If the status is set to Disabled or Not Configured, the user's home
directory is as specified at the server.
