Policy CSP - ADMX_RemoteAssistance
Tip
This CSP contains ADMX-backed policies which require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For details, see Understanding ADMX-backed policies.
The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see CDATA Sections.

-No full window drag -Turn off background.
"Full optimization" will include the following optimizations:
-Use 16-bit color (8-bit color in Windows Vista) -Turn off font smoothing (not supported in Windows Vista) -No full window drag -Turn off background.
If you enable this policy setting, bandwidth optimization occurs at the level specified.
If you disable this policy setting, application-based settings are used.
If you don't configure this policy setting, application-based settings are used.
