Figure 25. Event log tab
NOTE:
● Dependence 1—RDP GFX status, H.264, and VOR work only when GFX is enabled.
● Dependence 2—VOR is dynamic. So the enablement/disablement of VOR dynamically changes during the change in the
video resolution (enlarge/shrink).
● Dependence 3—H.264 enablement is decided at the beginning of connection, depending on the maximum resolution
available for the session.
If H.264-AVC444 is enabled, VOR is not used in Microsoft broker 2016, and Windows 10/2016 sessions without the RemoteFX
GPU. If you disable H.264-AVC444, VOR is used.
In RDP session (RDP 8.1 and later), VOR, H.264, and H.264-AVC444 are enabled by default. To disable these parameters, use
the INI parameter— SessionConfig-RDP EnalbeGFX=yes EnableVOR=no EnableRDPh264=no.
When you connect to an RDP session in Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 with RemoteFX GPU adapter, H.264-AVC444 is used
irrespective of the H.264-AVC444 group policy configurations. If you disable the H.264 feature by using the INI parameter, the
VOR codec is used in RDP sessions. However, graphic-related issues are observed in RDP sessions. From ThinOS version 8.6,
the VOR codec is not used when you disable H.264 using the INI parameter.
TS Gateway in Microsoft Broker
User scenario:
1. Log in to Microsoft Broker with TS Gateway configured.
2. Launch a published collection.
TS Gateway connection is established.
The following table lists the TS Gateway versions supported by Windows Server.
Table 30. Supported TS Gateway versions
Server operating system TS Gateway II TS Gateway III WebSocket
Windows 2008 R2 Support Not support Not Support
Windows 2012 R2 Support Support Not Support
Windows 2016 Support Support Support
NOTE:
● TS Gateway - WebSocket is a new feature introduced from ThinOS version 8.5.
● In TS Gateway II or III connection, the setup uses a two half-duplex communication between Terminal Server (TS)
Gateway server and thin client.
● In the WebSocket connection, the session connection setup uses a duplex communication between TS Gateway and thin
client
