Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services

Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services (RDS) is a server-based technology used for the deployment and management of virtual desktops and applications. RDS enables users to access sessions in a virtual machine or a Windows Server session from a wide range of devices over a network.

RDS is designed to provide secure access to desktops and applications and includes features such as RemoteFX for virtual desktop infrastructures (VDI), which improves the graphical experience of the remote user. The RDS licensing model allows for either per-user or per-device access, ensuring that organizations can choose the most cost-effective and appropriate method for their needs.

Windows Server 2012 brought significant enhancements to RDS, including a simplified management experience, improved performance, and new capabilities like centralized publishing of RemoteApp programs and session-based desktops.
