1. Remote Desktop Connection Client. The Remote Desktop Client is used to connect to a system running Remote Desktop Services. Like the Remote Desktop Role, there are many options available with the Remote Desktop Client. So, again, we will give a basic overview of the client and focus on the security-related features.
2. This documentation is not for the Remote Desktop Connection (MSTSC) client that ships with Windows. It's for the new Remote Desktop (MSRDC) client. This client currently only supports accessing remote apps and desktops from Windows Virtual Desktop. Curious about the new releases for the Windows Desktop client?

You can access Windows Virtual Desktop resources on devices with Windows 10, Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, and Windows 7 using the Windows Desktop client.

Important

Windows Windows includes an RDP client by default. To verify, type mstsc at a Command Prompt window. If your computer doesn't recognize this command, see the Windows home page and search for the download for the Microsoft Remote Desktop app.

This does not support Window 8 or Windows 8.1.

This only supports Azure Resource Manager objects, to support objects without Azure Resource Manager, see Connect with Windows Desktop (classic) client. Youtube to mp3 songs download free for mac.

This does not support the RemoteApp and Desktop Connections (RADC) client or the Remote Desktop Connection (MSTSC) client.

Install the Windows Desktop client

Download the client based on your Windows version:

During installation to determine access, select either:

• Install just for you
• Install for all users of this machine (requires admin rights)

To launch the client after installation, use the Start menu and search for Remote Desktop.

Subscribe to a Workspace

To subscribe to a Workspace, choose to either:

• Use a work or school account and have the client discover the resources available for you
• Use the specific URL of the resource

To launch the resource once subscribed, go to the Connection Center and double-click the resource.

Tip

To launch a resource from the Start menu, you can find the folder with the Workspace name or enter the resource name in the search bar.

Use a user account

1. Select Subscribe from the main page.
2. Sign in with your user account when prompted.

The resources grouped by workspace will appear in the Connection Center.

Mstsc Client Logging

Note

The Windows client automatically defaults to Windows Virtual Desktop (classic).

However, if the client detects additional Azure Resource Manager resources, it adds them automatically or notifies the user that they're available.

Use a specific URL

1. Select Subscribe with URL from the main page.

2. Enter either the Workspace URL or an email address:

   • For Workspace URL, use the URL provided by your admin.

   Available Resources	URL
   Windows Virtual Desktop (classic)	https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/api/feeddiscovery/webfeeddiscovery.aspx
   Windows Virtual Desktop	https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/api/arm/feeddiscovery
   Windows Virtual Desktop (US Gov)	https://rdweb.wvd.azure.us/api/arm/feeddiscovery

   • For Email, use your email address.

   The client will find the URL associated with your email, provided your admin has enabled email discovery.

3. Select Next.

4. Sign in with your user account when prompted.

Mstsc Client Alternative
