What are Remote Desktop Services?

RDS stands for “Remote Desktop Services” and refers to the functionality that allows users to work with graphical desktops and Windows applications via remote access. Desktop networks can be centrally managed using the appropriate Client Access Licenses (CALs). Additionally, all potential existing Windows Server 2019 Core licenses can be used in conjunction with 2025 user licenses. This gives a company’s IT department more time to upgrade to the latest version of the server operating system. The “Quick Updates” feature will also help you save time installing updates in the future.
