Group Policy Object (GPO) template

USB for Remote Desktop Workstation 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%\FabulaTech\USB for Remote Desktop (Workstation)\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\ftusbrdpwks.admx
%WINDIR%\PolicyDefinitions\en-US\Fabulatech.adml
%WINDIR%\PolicyDefinitions\en-US\ftusbrdpwks.adml

It's recommended to use the GPO template files provided with the latest product version of USB for Remote Desktop Workstation.

Some GPO policies can be set in different locations, depending on their target (Computer Configuration, User Configuration), or their level of applicability (FabulaTech, Product). If a policy is configured in multiple locations, the following priority order applies (from highest to lowest):

Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> FabulaTech
User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> FabulaTech
Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> FabulaTech -> USB for Remote Desktop (Workstation)
User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> FabulaTech -> USB for Remote Desktop (Workstation)
Product settings (GUI, registry, etc.)

Policies defined at a higher level override those set at lower levels.

The GPO template can be used to configure the following settings:

Setting	Target	Level	Description
Log file rotation	Computer	Product	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. Maximum log file part size (per file), MB Range: 50-1000 Specifies the maximum size, in megabytes, of a single log file part. When a log file part exceeds this value, the file is rotated and a new file part is created for the same log. Maximum log file parts (per log) Range: 1-99 Specifies the maximum number of log file parts allowed for each individual log. If this limit is exceeded, the oldest file part belonging to that log is removed. If set to 1, only a single log file part is kept. When the maximum file size is reached, the file part is overwritten. Maximum log file parts (global) Specifies the maximum total number of log file parts stored on disk across all logs and all users. If this limit is exceeded, the oldest log file parts are removed, regardless of which log they belong to. If 0, no global limit is applied; an unlimited number of log file parts is allowed. If this policy is disabled or not configured, log file rotation behavior is controlled by the application’s internal log rotation settings.
Log level	Computer	Product	Log Level Range: 0–10 This policy setting configures the log level, which determines which events are written to the log files. This setting is intended for troubleshooting purposes and is typically enabled at the request of the FabulaTech technical support team. The following values are supported: 0 - Error 1 - Warning 2 - Information 3 - Debug 4 - Dump 5–10 - Reserved If this policy is disabled or not configured, the log level is controlled by the application’s internal logging settings.
Turn off "Check for updates"	Computer	FabulaTech, Product	This policy setting determines whether the application is allowed to check for updates and notify the logged-on user. Enabled: Disables the "Check for updates" feature. The application will not check for updates and users will not receive update notifications. Disabled: Enables the "Check for updates" feature. The application can check for updates and notify users when updates are available. Not Configured: The application’s local settings determine whether it checks for updates and notifies the user. Note: If this policy setting is applied at the FabulaTech level, it overrides the same policy setting applied at the product level for all installed FabulaTech products.

Product

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.

Maximum log file part size (per file), MB: Range: 50-1000
Specifies the maximum size, in megabytes, of a single log file part. When a log file part exceeds this value, the file is rotated and a new file part is created for the same log.
Maximum log file parts (per log): Range: 1-99
Specifies the maximum number of log file parts allowed for each individual log. If this limit is exceeded, the oldest file part belonging to that log is removed. If set to 1, only a single log file part is kept. When the maximum file size is reached, the file part is overwritten.
Maximum log file parts (global): Specifies the maximum total number of log file parts stored on disk across all logs and all users. If this limit is exceeded, the oldest log file parts are removed, regardless of which log they belong to. If 0, no global limit is applied; an unlimited number of log file parts is allowed.

If this policy is disabled or not configured, log file rotation behavior is controlled by the application’s internal log rotation settings.
