You can set policy entries by manually editing the .SAM file. These settings must be located in a policy

section of the .SAM file, for example, [Local Area Network] or [saved settings]. These values only specify

the default settings in the UI. Values changed by the User in the UI will take effect.

is 3. A value of 0 (automatic) uses autodetected settings, with a preference of RGS over RDP.
