Registry Settings and Group Policy Object (GPO) template
The registry and GPO settings described below assist in configuring and troubleshooting the product.
Scanner 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.
GPO template
The archive file containing administrative template can be found in the installation directory:
