Host Pool Custom RDP Configuration

Nerdio Manager allows you to customize a host pool's RDP settings.

See this Microsoft article for more information about RDP properties.

To configure host pool's RDP settings:

1. Locate the host pool you wish to work with.

2. From the action menu, select Properties > RDP settings.

3. Enter the following information:

   • RDP Shortpath: You may select the settings that control the network configuration for RDP Shortpath connections. You can decide to enable, disable, or use the default, for each of the following options.

     • RDP shortpath for managed networks: Where direct UDP connectivity is established between the client and the session host when using a private connection, such as a virtual private network (VPN).

     • RDP shortpath for managed networks (via STUN): Where direct UDP connectivity is established between the client and the session host when using a private connection, such as a virtual private network (VPN).

     • RDP shortpath for public networks (via STUN): Where direct UDP connectivity is established between the client and the session host via public network using Simple Traversal Underneath NAT (STUN) protocol.

     • RDP shortpath for public networks (via TURN/Relay): Where indirect UDP connectivity is established between the client and the session host via public network using Traversal Using Relay NAT (TURN) protocol.

   • RDP Settings Profile: From the drop-down list, select the RDP settings profile to use.

     Note: If you select a RDP settings profile, you may not change any settings. Only the Custom option allow you to change settings.

   • Edit mode: For a Custom configuration, from the drop-down list, select the edit mode.

     • Common settings: You may select or unselect from a short list of the most commonly used settings.

     • Advanced: You may edit the full list of settings.

       • Select Not configured, or the existing value, to change the setting's value.

       • Select the tool tips to see more information about the setting and its values.

       • Select Clear to set the specific setting to Not configured.

       • Select Clear all to set all the RDP settings to Not configured.

       • Select Reset to Nerdio defaults to set all the RDP settings to Nerdio defaults.
