“Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Remote Session Environment\Enable Remote Desktop Protocol 8.0” should be set to “Enabled”.There are then two group policy settings: On the Windows 7 VM, you need to have two patches: KB2574819 and KB2592687 on the Windows 7 To start off, on the client you need a RDP 8 client. Later on a colleague found out that you could enable RDP 8 to use UDP (and thus be much more efficient and kick-ass), so I wanted to investigate that as another alternative. The results were excellent and I have thus done more work in tuning PCoIP.
BEST RDP PCOIP ZERO CLIENT INSTALL
One of the options I looked at was swapping RDP for PCoIP (via Horizon View Agent Direct-Connection), I documented my initial install of the View Agent and VADC here.
BEST RDP PCOIP ZERO CLIENT UPDATE
With dual-monitor, the Lync sharing would freeze up both screens since RDP wanted to update both screens at the same time and you end up seeing it drawing line-by-line. Lync screen sharing in particular was causing a lot of issues since it’s not optimized for WAN, and thus sharing over RDP was causing issues.

Some of the applications they use include Lync screen sharing, Remedy, and some other screen sharing apps (internal tools and Webex). I have been trying to find a quick solution for some internal users who were remoting into Windows 7 VMs via RDP.
