You need to deploy the KDC proxy yourself, and then add it to the .RDP file options in your AVD feed. It's not something that works out of the box: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/

We would be very happy if proxmox were to adopt IronRDP. I see you've already found the work from Marc-André Lureau, he's been doing an incredible job for the IronRDP server side. He's also been working on adding QOI image co

If you want to connect to the built-in macOS remote desktop server, don't use a standard VNC client, use a real ARD client like Remote Desktop Manager. While the server accepts standard VNC, you will only get zlib the codec, which has

IAKerb still hasn't shipped - it's a preview feature. Meanwhile, we've been doing KDC proxying successfully in Devolutions Gateway for several years. Sometimes you can wait forever for a supposedly better solution, or you can

My apologies for the name choice, I actually didn't know "Iron" was taken for a lot of C#/.NET projects. We were looking for something that meant "hardened" because it's written in Rust, and went for &quot

RDP-over-SSH will break Kerberos authentication for two reasons: 1) you'll point the RDP client to localhost and a random port and 2) you won't get a KDC line-of-sight. The irony is Microsoft has demoed this with SSH over Azure Ar

The RDP GDI messages are from RDP6, graphical messages have changed many times over in the versions of RDP that followed. Would you be surprised to learn that WSLg uses a FreeRDP server hooked to a Wayland compositor running in the Linux gu

The Desktop Composition extension was never used in practice, check the date on the spec - the last update was in 2017. I don't know the whole story behind the scenes but the feature got pulled early.

Yes, IronRDP is written entirely in Rust, but we also have bindings for .NET and the web. We originally developed it for our RDP web client for Devolutions Gateway ( https://github.com/Devolutions/devolutions-gateway ) b

I just realized what you saw, I originally meant to say "Hyper-V is undeniably a critical component of the Microsoft virtualization stack as Azure runs on it", I've got it fixed and also removed the Windows Subsystem for Andr

I actually love PowerShell and use it extensively to automate Hyper-V labs, but there's a big difference between automation and one-off things like a checkbox to enable nested virtualization. There's also a large portion of users

Oh and the funny thing is that since writing this blog post Microsoft killed Windows Subsystem for Android despite its immense value as a developer tool

Weird, right? That's exactly the argument repeated ad nauseam by Microsoft as "proof" that Hyper-V isn't dead, somehow excluding the lack of a good desktop GUI for Hyper-V VMs from why users would feel differently

Windows Admin Center was created because Microsoft thinks sysadmins want to manage Windows from a web browser. Instead, most of them would rather use desktop apps over RDP, which is why the deprecated Microsoft Management Console (MMC) is

Thank you for clarifying - I am in no way suggesting that locally patching a decompiled Hyper-V Manager makes sense beyond its experimental value. Having gone through the exercise, it confirmed it's potential value as an open source pr
