4 PC-Duo 12.5 May 2014
 Virtual Desktop support: Enables virtual desktop images generated in
environments such as Citrix XenDesktop to include Hosts, and to have
the Hosts report to Gateway until the desktop image is discarded (see
PC-Duo Host Guide)
 Web Console: A new server-side application that enables browser-
based access to the Gateway Server (see PC-Duo Web Console
Operating Guide)
 Remote Desktop Window: Ability to launch a Remote Desktop window
through the Web Console, bypassing need to have an installed Master.
No administrative rights needed and no reboot required (see PC-Duo
Web Console Operating Guide)
 Citrix XenApp support: Option to restrict injection of Terminal Services
Host instances into "desktop" sessions only, and not into "application"
sessions (see PC-Duo Host Guide)
 Kernel-mode Screen Capture driver: The kernel-mode screen capture
driver is now available for Windows 7, Vista and Windows 2008 Server.
In many situations, the kernel-mode screen capture driver will
outperform the default user-mode screen capture driver (see PC-Duo
Host Guide)
 Input Suppression: Ability to turn off keyboard and mouse input on the
remote desktop machine for Windows 7, Vista and Windows 2008
Server (see PC-Duo Host Guide)

custom Gateway Groups using Windows PowerShell scripting (see PC-

New Features in 11.6
PC-Duo 11.6 introduced the following new features and capabilities:
 Connection notification enhancements: Additional connection
information is included in “popup toast” notification on the Host, in
particular the identity of the Master user requesting connection. If initial
connection is Gateway-managed, subsequent connections will cause the
toast popup to reappear. Previously, the Host toast notification only
appeared on the first connection.
 Active users list: A new option is available when right-clicking the Proxy
icon in the system tray on the Host which will show all the active users
(Masters) connected to it and/or any active recordings.
 End-to-end authentication: For certain services (such as file transfer,
remote Host administration, and remote management), the Master end-
user may be asked to authenticate directly to the Host, even if the Master
has already authenticated successfully to the Gateway. Previously, the
Host simply denied these services if proper credentials were not available.
 Extension tags: To support extensibility for 3rd-party applications that
want to integrate the PC-Duo solution, extension tags are now available
for collecting and persisting metadata attributes of the Host or Host
connection (e.g. phone extension for the phone next to the Host
computer). Extension tags are name/value pairs that can be used to
