- Allow Remote Control of an unattended computer — whether it is possible to connect to a computer with a locked screen or without the user’s session.

- Show session connection bar — the active connection notice on a separate panel.
- Play a sound on client — special sound about user connection/disconnection.
- Manage unsolicited Remote Assistance settings — RA settings control, when the user did not initiate the connection request.
- Manage Remote Desktop settings — RDP settings control.
- Allow permitted viewers to connect by using Remote Desktop connection — whether users, defined in this policy, connect via RDP
