Remote Desktop Services - Multi-Factor Authentication

Applies to: Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016

Leverage the power of Active Directory with Multi-Factor Authentication to enforce high security protection of your business resources.

For your end-users connecting to their desktops and applications, the experience is similar to what they already face as they perform a second authentication measure to connect to the desired resource:

• Launch a desktop or RemoteApp from an RDP file or through a Remote Desktop client application
• Upon connecting to the RD Gateway for secure, remote access, receive an SMS or mobile application MFA challenge
• Correctly authenticate and get connected to their resource!
