This guide intends to teach you How To Set up or Enable Multiple Remote Desktop (RDP) sessions or connections on Windows Server 2022.
To get at a simple RDP definition, we can’t start by unpacking the acronym. It stands for remote desktop protocol, but you likely already knew that part. So what is the real definition of RDP? A remote desktop protocol is a method that allows a client computer to access and use a host’s computer or server from another endpoint.
In other words, RDP is a system that connects computers via an internet connection, allowing one computer (the RDP client) to see what’s going on with the other computer (the RDP server host), as well as take over and control its mouse and keyboard functionality.
Steps To Set up Multiple RDP sessions on Windows Server 2022
To enable multiple RDP connections, you must log in to your Windows Server and follow the steps below.
