Group Policy Object (GPO) template
Webcam for Remote Desktop Server includes *.admx and *.adml administrative template files. These template files allow to configure the product via Local GPO and/or Domain-Based GPO. Please refer to Microsoft MSDN article on managing ADMX files.
The archive file containing administrative template can be found in the installation directory:
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\FabulaTech\Webcam for Remote Desktop (Server)\policies.zip
Additionally, the administrative template files are deployed to a local GPO during product installation and can be found here:
%WINDIR%\PolicyDefinitions\Fabulatech.admx %WINDIR%\PolicyDefinitions\ftwebcamrdpsrv.admx %WINDIR%\PolicyDefinitions\en-US\Fabulatech.adml %WINDIR%\PolicyDefinitions\en-US\ftwebcamrdpsrv.adml
It's recommended to use the GPO template files provided with the latest product version of Webcam for Remote Desktop Server.
The GPO template can be used to configure the following settings:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Disable functionality |
This policy setting is used for disabling webcam redirection functionality. If this policy setting is enabled, webcams cannot be redirected and do not appear in the webcam menu. If this policy setting is disabled or not configured, webcam redirection works and webcams appear in the webcam menu. If this policy setting is used for the computer, it overrides the policy setting for all users of this computer. |
| Disable update subscription expiration notification |
This policy setting controls whether update subscription expiration notifications are displayed. If Enabled, the update subscription expiration notifications will not appear. If Disabled, the update subscription expiration notifications will appear. If Not Configured, the notification mode is determined by the corresponding user policy setting or the user interface setting. This policy setting overrides any user-configured preferences, meaning users cannot change the update subscription notification mode through the user interface. |
| Disable audio redirection |
This policy setting is used for disabling audio redirection functionality. If this policy setting is enabled, audio redirection will be disabled for all users of this computer. If this policy setting is disabled, audio redirection will be enabled for all users of this computer. Also this policy setting overrides similar policy setting for all users of this computer and users will not be able to change audio redirection mode via the settings interface. If this policy setting is not configured, the audio redirection mode is determined by the similar user policy setting or via the settings interface. |
| Licensing |
This policy setting is used for licensing management. The following licensing modes are used:
For "License Key" type of licensing you must specify a string of the key in the corresponding field. For "License Server" type of licensing you must specify a license server name in the name_or_ip:port format, where the port is an optional parameter. If this policy setting is enabled, the licensing mode will be overridden by this policy setting. It means using GPO License key instead key that determined via the settings interface. If this policy setting is disabled or not configured, the licensing mode is determined via the settings interface. |
| Compression |
This policy setting allows you to manage the video compression type used. The following compression options are available:
If this policy setting is enabled, user-configured settings are overridden, and users cannot change them through the user interface. If this policy setting is disabled or not configured, the compression type is determined through the settings interface. Note: If this policy setting is applied at the computer level, it overrides the same policy setting applied at the user level for all users of this computer. |
| Log file rotation |
This policy setting controls advanced log file rotation behavior. The product may create multiple logs for each user, depending on factors such as Session ID, Process ID (PID), and FabulaTech product module. Each log is stored on disk as a set of log file parts, which are created as the log is rotated. When the active log file part reaches the configured size limit, it is rotated: the current file part is renamed, and a new empty file part is created for the same log. If any of the configured limits are exceeded, the oldest log file parts are automatically removed according to the configured rules.
If this policy is disabled or not configured, log file rotation behavior is controlled by the application’s internal log rotation settings. |
| Log level |
If this policy is disabled or not configured, the log level is controlled by the application’s internal logging settings. |
