Disable bitmap caching - Terminal Services

Hi All,

Does anyone know if it is possible to make a server side change that tells all connecting RDP clients to disable bitmap caching when using the Terminal Services Client?

I know you can do this on the clients themselves, but I have a few hundred to do and they're not in the domain so thus no Group Policy options to push the change :(.

Cheers in advance,

Magz.

I know that you can push custom registry settings via GP. YOu should be able to push this:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default]
"bitmapCacheSize"=dword:00000000

That sets the cache to zero, and if the cache can't be used, then it uses ram cache instead, which I think is what you want.

See this article for how you'd package this in group policy:
