Policy CSP - ADMX_RemoteAssistance

Tip

This CSP contains ADMX-backed policies which require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For details, see Understanding ADMX-backed policies.

The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see CDATA Sections.

This policy setting allows you to improve performance in low bandwidth scenarios.

This setting is incrementally scaled from "No optimization" to "Full optimization". Each incremental setting includes the previous optimization setting.

For example:

"Turn off background" will include the following optimizations:

-No full window drag -Turn off background.

"Full optimization" will include the following optimizations:

-Use 16-bit color (8-bit color in Windows Vista) -Turn off font smoothing (not supported in Windows Vista) -No full window drag -Turn off background.

  • If you enable this policy setting, bandwidth optimization occurs at the level specified.

  • If you disable this policy setting, application-based settings are used.

  • If you don't configure this policy setting, application-based settings are used.
