Change slow link threshold in Windows 2008

created by , 07. 03. 2012

Windows Server 2008 will detect the speed of a client's connection to the network and, based on its measurements, disable enforcement of certain policies that would bog down a slow connection. Policies that Windows will disable include disk quotas, folder redirection, scripts, and software installation and maintenance. By default, Windows considers a speed of less than 500 Kbps a slow link, but you can change this on a per-GPO basis.

To change the slow link threshold, follow these steps:
