hi guys, i need an advice about RDP. in simple i need a solution where multiple user (10-20 users) from different location can control one PC/server at a single session and mirror the PC/server display to user's workstation/tablet To be more precise ,I mean if one user is working on a program , another user can also use the same program without affecting each others work. Any advice??

Thanks in advance.

So the 20 users will connect to the same desktop and everyone will see the same thing, right? VNC w/ shared session.

How can they connect to the same 'shared' desktop without

affecting each others work

??

Use Hyper-V if you're on Windows or VMWare services if it's easier.

you can run windows terminal server and get this working, we have a terminal server at work that we have about 8 or so people remote connected to all day long to run a single program because we only own one license for it.

Not that I am the license police or anything of the sort, but that may be illegal depending on how your license reads. I know for office on a terminal services or xenapp environment, it needs to get licensed per user that connects (not concurrent user). Each user that connects is basically its own computer. If the user that is using it is terminated then that user cal is released for a new user. Just using office as an example here, but many other softwares follow suit.

By default server 03 allows 2 concurrent RDP sessions unless you install terminal services and to install that you have to agree to the licensing that pops up so I'm sure they are abiding by it.

... a single session and mirror the PC/server display

another user can also use the same program without affecting each others work.

I'm not sure I understand...

You want everyone logged in to the same session, yet controlling the same program without affecting each other?

What "program"?

You not only have to agree to the licensing you also have to license it or in 45 days you will not be able to rdp from that remote computer to the server. But once terminal server is licensed properly, you will need to license your software properly according to the EULA you agree to but don't ever read.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
