Guidance on remote desktop services
A Remote Desktop Services deployment is the infrastructure used to share applications and resources with users. Depending on the
experience you want to provide, you can make it as small or complex as you need. Remote Desktop deployments are easily scaled. You can
increase and decrease Remote Desktop Web Access, Gateway, Connection Broker and Session Host servers at will. You can use Remote
Desktop Connection Broker to distribute workloads. Active Directory based authentication provides a highly secure environment. For more
information, see Build and Deploy Remote Desktop Services
NOTE: Provide the correct Microsoft Windows version while purchasing the license.
