Carl,

I applied the below setting in both 1)not configured mode , 2) disable mode ...but when user RDP's to the server Font smoothing is not applied.

GPO setting applied.
Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Remote Session Environment -> Do not allow font smoothing

how ever when I did RDP to the server using this settings ( configure font smoothing on the Experience tab in Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) or by using the "allow font smoothing" ) Font smotting works .

Any suggestions.

Thanks.

Solved:

- After setting the Do not allow font smoothing (to Not configured), when the user logged on to the server he was not able to view to see the difference.

But when published the application or the desktop to the user , the user was able to see the clear type (font smooting) .

Note - If you enable ClearType font smoothing on the server, you are not forcing user devices to use ClearType font smoothing. You are enabling the server to support ClearType font smoothing on user devices that have it enabled locally and are using Receiver.
