Hi,
When users accessing to the server with RDS CAL simultaneously, they will get their own desktop or session based remoteapp, which will not be interfered by other users but only administrator could monitor or shadow.

With User profile disk(UPD) feature, an alternative to roaming profiles and folder redirection in the RDS scenarios. With UPD, user and apps data (i. e., a user profile) are stored as a separate VHDX disk on dedicated file on the network shared folder. This virtual disk is mounted to the user session as soon as the user signs in to the RDS server, and unmounted when the user logs out.
