Supported on :

Help/Explain Text :

   Specifies whether to configure a server as a Session Directory Server for Terminal Services sessions on your network. A Session Directory Server directs incoming Terminal Services connections for a terminal server cluster. If the status is set to Enabled, you can specify a server and its DNS name, IP address, or fully qualified domain name to act as the Session Directory Server. Terminal Services Session Directory must be running on the specified server for this setting to be effective. If the name specified for the Session Directory Server is not valid, an error is logged in Event Viewer on the target computer indicating that the specified location could not be found. If status is set to Disabled or Not Configured, the Session Directory Server is not specified at the Group Policy level, and can be adjusted using the Terminal Services Configuration tool or the Terminal Services WMI provider. Note: This setting must be used in combination with the Join Session Directory setting.
