This approach has the multi-user benefits of RD Session Host and the modern experience benefits from Windows 10. In the middle Microsoft introduced Windows 10 Multi-Session, and this is basically best of both worlds. Over the years, many vendors have however been developing great suites and tools to remove parts of the complexity, add scaling and trim down the costs. This adds additional challenges in terms of scaling, complexity and in most scenarios resulted in less cost-effective setup. Whether is a pooled or personal setup, every user runs his own Windows 10. One of the downsides of this approach has always been that this is a one-to-one setup. Compared to Windows Server RD Session Host, this setup does allow the user to get the modern experience he is used to, including Universal Windows Apps. On the right-hand side we have Windows 10 in a Pooled or Personal VDI-like setup. Modern Apps like for example Edge and Cortana are not available and it’s all based on a Long-Term Service Release. This means that the user is presented with a different experience compared to his local modern Windows10. The obvious downside of this solutions is that it is based on Windows Server. Multiple users can connect to a server simultaneously making a very flexible, cost-effective and easy to manage solution. The great thing about Windows Server RD Session Host is that it allows users to share available resources. Traditionally, this has been widely used option to publish Applications and Desktops using RDS. On the left-hand side, we have Windows Server RD Session Host. Let’s look at the three pillars in the below diagram (credits to various Microsoft Slide Decks used at Microsoft Ignite 2018). So why is this interesting and how is this beneficial for publishing Applications and Desktops? This basically means that Windows10 can now also be used as an “RD Session Host server”, where this was previously only possible using a Windows Server operating system. In this blog post I want to focus on one of the benefits of WVD, the ability to use Windows10 Multi-session.Īt Ignite 2018, Microsoft officially announced the Windows10 Multi-Session, the first official multi-user Windows 10 version that allowed multiple concurrent users to connect. I have been part of the RDmi private preview program since the early days, almost a year ago, and I’ve had the privileged to test the early WVD platform as well. I previously published a blog post on news that was shared in a post that is called Windows Virtual Desktop, RDS 2019 and Multi Session Windows 10, What a week and I covered a recap of the sessions I presented myself in Orlando called Presented 2 sessions at Microsoft Ignite 2018, Orlando. If not, these announcements we’re all made public during Microsoft Ignite 2018 last month.
By now, you most likely heard about Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) as the evolution of RDmi and how Windows10 Multi-session is part of that evolution.
