Desktop Microphone in Terminal Server session

This is a first for me so forgive me in the manner this may be requested.

I intend to have a laptop that has a microphone, record the laptop user's voice on his terminal server session.  The laptop will be running Windows7 while the terminal server will be running 2008 R2. There will be NO OTHER Microsoft or vendor products installed for this test to progress as it is NOT required (unless you advise differently).

From reading forums I am confused as to the minimum requirement to allow a user to record. I have found a reference for a Registry change and I have found a reference for a GPE change. But I want this to go smoothly so I thought I'd ask the forum for advice.

Here goes.  Registry, first.
  1. On your server, modify the following registry setting: 
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp
fDisableAudioCapture     REG_DWORD     0x00000000

  1. After making the change, Start the RD Client on a laptop PC and configure "enable" for Audio Recording Redirection.
  2. Now start the remote desktop session to your Terminal Server and test your microphone for audio capture on the TS desktop using Sound recorder.

  1. I am not sure, but isn't this all that is needed to allow user TS recording?
  2. Or, is a GPE also required? And, IF SO, should the GPE change precede the Registry change or should it come after?
"Whew....A mouthful." Thanks in advance
