Recording Policy Group

The Recording policy group contains all the policies for locally recording remote control sessions made to the current host. This is independent of a viewer's recording of a session, enabling the host to force sessions to be recorded for auditing purposes. In a centrally managed environment, the domain manager determines who can set or modify these values.

The Recording policy group contains all the policies for locally recording remote control sessions made to the current host. This is independent of a viewer's recording of a session, enabling the host to force sessions to be recorded for auditing purposes. In a centrally managed environment, the domain manager determines who can set or modify these values.
You can modify policy parameter values by double-clicking a policy to display the Setting Properties dialog.
  • Backward compatible
    Specifies that all host recordings be recorded in a format that is compatible with Unicenter DSM r11.2 and earlier, if True.
    Default: False
  • Disconnect on failure
    Specifies that the remote control session be disconnected if host recording fails, if True.
    Default: False
  • Dither recoded bitmaps
    If True, specifies that bitmaps be dithered, that is, their colors blended, during the reduction process for host-side recordings.
    Default: False
  • Enable session recording
    Enables the recording of remote control sessions made to the current host according to user permissions, if True. 
    If False, the other host-sided recording is disabled, and the other recording settings have no effect.
    Default: True
  • Record all sessions
    Specifies that all sessions should be recorded regardless of user permissions, if True. 
    If False, the permissions of the connecting user are used to determine whether the session should be recorded.
    Default: False
  • Record fonts
    Specifies how to record fonts in recording files generated by host-side recording. Valid options are as follows:
    • Don't record fonts
    • Record selected legacy fonts
    • Record non-standard fonts
    • Record all fonts (Large File)
      Default: Record selected legacy fonts
  • Record sessions separately
    Specifies that concurrent sessions be recorded separately and saved in individual *.urc files, if True.
    Default: True
  • Record when logged on
    Specifies that recording take place only when a user is logged on, if set to True. This means that screen activity that takes place on the Windows login dialog is not recorded.
    Default: True
  • Recording bandwidth
    Specifies the maximum recording bandwidth that a host-side recording will use. This limits the rate at which the host screen data is recorded to the file. Host recording bandwidth settings are approximate.Valid maximum bandwidth values are as follows:
    • Unlimited
    • 4MBIT
    • 2MBIT
    • 1MBIT
    • 512KBIT
    • 256KBIT
    • 128KBIT
    • 64KBIT
    • 32KBIT
      Default: Unlimited
  • Recording colour reduction
    Specifies that the color depth of bitmaps should be reduced for host-side recordings. Valid values are as follows:
    • No colour reduction
    • High Colour: 16 bits/pixel
    • Low Colour: 8 bits/pixel
    • Greyscale: 8 bits/pixel
    • Greyscale: 4 bits/pixel
    • Pseudo-grey: 3 bits/pixel
    • Edge detection: 1 bits/pixel
    • TV colour: 12 bits/pixel
    • TV colour: 6 bits/pixel
      Default: No colour reduction
  • Recording path
    Specifies the default path for saving recorded sessions. If empty, recording files are stored in the system-wide Temporary folder by default.
     It is possible to record sessions to a remote network share, for example, a central file server, by specifying a UNC path. However, you must ensure that the user account used to store the recording has sufficient privileges to connect to the network share. Therefore, you should either record with the Logged on user credentials option enabled or configure the network share to accept Null-session connections, because the Service account credentials option does not have privileges on remote computers.
    Default: empty
  • User account
    Specifies which user credentials will be used when saving the recording file. Valid values are as follows:
    • Service account credentials
      Specifies the credentials of the user account under which the Host service runs. By default, this is the LocalSystem account on Windows and "root" on Linux.
    • Logged on user credentials
      Specifies the credentials of the currently logged on user, that is, a local user security profile.
       The Logged on user credentials option can be selected only if the Record when logged on option is enabled. If you want to record files to a network share on another computer, use the Logged on user credentials option.
      Default: Service account credentials
