Using default settings

The server properties dialog consists of tabs, each containing their own specific set of properties. All tabs, except General, have one common link Site Defaults, which allows you to view and modify Site default settings. If you want the properties on a particular tab to inherit default settings, select the Inherit default settings option. When you do, the default settings will be inherited from one of the following:

• Group defaults if the server is assigned to an RD Session Host group. Groups are described in Grouping and cloning RD Session Host Servers.
• Site defaults if the server is not assigned to an RD Session Host group. Note that a group may also inherit Site defaults, but this can be overridden in the group properties dialog where you can specify custom settings for a group.

To view or modify Site default settings, click the Site Defaults link. This will open either the Group default properties or Site default properties dialog depending on whether the server is assigned to a group (see above). Note that each individual tab can inherit default settings independently from other tabs.

To specify custom settings for an RD Session Host, clear the Inherit default settings option and use the controls on a given tab to set the desired options.
