Feature Support for Session-Based Desktops on RDS Hosts
RDS hosts are server computers that have Windows Remote Desktop Services and View Agent installed.
Multiple users can have desktop sessions on an RDS host simultaneously. An RDS host can be either a
physical machine or a virtual machine.
NOTE The following table contains rows only for the features that are supported, unlike the feature support
matrixes for single-user virtual machine desktops, because RDS host feature support is the same for all types
of clients.
