These are defaults. Good to know.
You may also want to add DSMax value there to improve the disk space limitation for SR. See more details here:

Potentially (not to uncover the source of the problem) you can fix the issue in future by moving the pagefile to a separate small

Well.. I think your RPLifeInterval is set to 90 days. After the RPs on your devices were created, did it pass 90 days?

can you check the Event Viewer Logs to see if any messages were received from SR services on broken devices?
