Group Policy Settings
Group Policy Settings can be overwritten by local program settings and vice versa (since the same registry location is used for local program settings and GPO).
In order to avoid overriding, it's possible to configure the LockConfig registry key. As a result, the user cannot change the settings using tray context menu. Anyway, it will be still possible to change the program settings directly in the HKCU section of the Registry.
Scanner for Remote Desktop (Server) includes *.admx and *.adml administrative template files.
You can use these template files to configure Local GPO and/or Domain-Based GPO.
Archive file containing administrative templates can be found in the installation directory:
%ProgramFiles%\FabulaTech\Scanner for Remote Desktop (Server)\policies.zip
The *.admx/*.adml files are for use with Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008 and all later versions of Windows. Refer Microsoft MSDN article on managing ADMX files.
