Using Site or host pool defaults

RD Session Host properties are split into categories, which are displayed in the middle pane. Each category has its own set of properties. All categories, except General and Scanning, have one common link: Site Defaults or Host pool Defaults, which allows you to view default settings. If you want the properties in a particular category to inherit default settings, select the Inherit Defaults option. When you do this, the default settings will be inherited from one of the following:

• Host pool defaults if the host is assigned to an RD Session Host host pool. Pools are described in Grouping and Cloning RD Session Hosts.

• Site defaults if the host is not assigned to an RD Session Host host pool. Note that a host pool may also inherit Site defaults, but this can be overridden in the host pool properties dialog where you can specify custom settings for a host pool.

Click the Host pool Defaults or Site Defaults link (whichever applies) to open the host pool or Site default properties pane. To modify default settings (if needed), click Edit.
