What is Remote Desktop Services?

RDS, short for “remote desktop services,” refers to the feature that lets users utilize Windows programs and visual desktops remotely. Using the proper client access licenses, desktop networks may be managed centrally (CALs). Additionally, the 2016 device licenses may be combined with any possible Windows Server 2012 Core licenses that are already in existence. This offers an organization’s IT department more time to upgrade to the most recent server operating system. Future updates will be installed faster thanks to the “Express Updates” capability.

Do I need a Client Access License?
