Is there any way I can limit the bandwidth usage of RDP users in Windows?
Like
User1 can use only say 100GB
User2 can use only say 1TB

These users will be only rdp users with no admin access.

Why would you wanna limit the BW amount?
Think the only options you have is:
Login hours
Time limits
And do so they can't do file transfers/copy paste

I wonder why you want to limit bandwidth?

No way to do this out of the box on a windows system.

Hello,

Yes, bandwidth can be restricted, we can say as distributed but for specific parameters only.

This can be achieved through registry.

Following is the registry location which contain few dward parameters using which you can restrict bandwidth
utilization of RDP sessions :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermDD

Following are dward parameters needs to set :

FlowControlChargePostCompression : when set to 0 means bandwidth distribution is applied on Pre-Compressed data,
where as when set to 1 means bandwidth allocation on post-compression bandwidth usage

FlowControlDisplayBandwidth : bandwidth distribution between display

FlowControlChannelBandwidth : bandwidth distribution between virtual channels

FlowControlDisable : when set to 1 will disable new flow control, default value is 0

Hope this helps you

no such possible way

Instruction from SamTech seems to be valid but i have not tried anything like that before.
