Proprietary protocol that can provide a user with the graphical interface from another remote computerRemote Desktop Protocol ( RDP) is a developed by, which provides a user with a to connect to another computer over a network connection. The user employs RDP client software for this purpose, while the other computer must run RDP server software.Clients exist for most versions of (including ), and other. RDP servers are built into Windows operating systems; an RDP server for Unix and OS X also exists. By default, the server listens on 3389 and port 3389.Microsoft currently refers to their official RDP client software as, formerly 'Terminal Services Client'.The protocol is an extension of the application sharing protocol.
Microsoft makes some specifications public on their website. This article may not properly its corresponding main article. Please by rewriting it in an. Every version of Microsoft Windows from Windows XP onward includes an installed Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) ('Terminal Services') client ( mstsc.exe) whose version is determined by that of the operating system or by the last applied Windows Service Pack. The Terminal Services server is supported as an official feature on Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition, all editions of except Windows XP Home Edition, on, in Ultimate, Enterprise and Business editions, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 and on Windows 7 Professional and above.Microsoft provides the client required for connecting to newer RDP versions for downlevel operating systems. Since the server improvements are not available downlevel, the features introduced with each newer RDP version only work on downlevel operating systems when connecting to a higher version RDP server from these older operating systems, and not when using the RDP server in the older operating system. Version 4.0 Based on the T.128 application sharing protocol (during draft also known as 'T.share') from the recommendation series, the first version of RDP (named version 4.0) was introduced by Microsoft with 'Terminal Services', as a part of their product Server, Terminal Server Edition.
The Terminal Services Edition of NT 4.0 relied on 's MultiWin technology, previously provided as a part of atop Windows NT 3.51, in order to support multiple users and login sessions simultaneously. Microsoft required Citrix to license their MultiWin technology to Microsoft in order to be allowed to continue offering their own terminal-services product, then named Citrix MetaFrame, atop Windows NT 4.0. The Citrix-provided DLLs included in Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Services Edition still carry a Citrix copyright rather than a Microsoft copyright. Later versions of Windows integrated the necessary support directly. The T.128 application sharing technology was acquired by Microsoft from UK software developer Data Connection Limited. Version 5.0 This version was introduced with, added support for a number of features, including printing to local printers, and aimed to improve network bandwidth usage.Version 5.1 This version was introduced with Professional and included support for 24-bit color and sound. The client is available for,.
With this version, the name of the client was changed from Terminal Services Client to Remote Desktop Connection; the heritage remains to this day, however, as the underlying executable is still named mstsc.exe.Version 5.2 This version was introduced with, included support for console mode connections, a session directory, and local resource mapping. It also introduces Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 for server authentication, and to encrypt terminal server communications. This version is built into Windows XP Professional x64 Edition and Windows Server 2003 x64 & x86 Editions.Version 6.0 This version was introduced with and incorporated support for applications, multi-monitor spanning and large desktop support, and connections. Version 6.0 client is available for Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003 SP1/SP2 (x86 and x64 editions) and Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.
Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Macintosh OS X is also available with support for Intel and PowerPC Mac OS versions 10.4.9 and greater.Server 2012 can support RDC 6.0 or later.Version 6.1 This version was released in February 2008 and is included with, as well as with Windows Vista Service Pack 1. The client is included with Windows XP SP3. In addition to changes related to how a remote administrator connects to the 'console', this version has new functionality introduced in Windows Server 2008, such as connecting remotely to individual programs and a new client-side printer redirection system that makes the client's print capabilities available to applications running on the server, without having to install print drivers on the server.
Version 7.0 This version was released to manufacturing in July 2009 and is included with R2, as well as with. With this release, also changed from Terminal Services to Remote Desktop Services. This version has new functions such as Windows Media Player redirection, bidirectional audio, multi-monitor support, Aero glass support, enhanced bitmap acceleration, Easy Print redirection, docking. The RDP 7.0 client is available on Windows XP SP3 and Windows Vista SP1/SP2 through KB969084. The RDP 7.0 client is not officially supported on Windows Server 2003 x86 and Windows Server 2003 / Windows XP Professional x64 editions.Most RDP 7.0 features like Aero glass remote use, bidirectional audio, Windows Media Player redirection, multiple monitor support and Remote Desktop Easy Print are only available in Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate editions.
Version 7.1 Release 7.1 of RDP was included with Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 in 2010. It introduced, which provides virtualized GPU support and host-side encoding.Version 8.0 This version was released in.
This version has new functions such as Adaptive Graphics (progressive rendering and related techniques), automatic selection of TCP or UDP as transport protocol, support, DirectX 11 support for vGPU, supported independently of vGPU support, etc. A 'connection quality' button is displayed in the RDP client connection bar for RDP 8.0 connections; clicking on it provides further information about connection, including whether UDP is in use or not.The RDP 8.0 client and server components are also available as an add-on for Windows 7 SP1. The RDP 8.0 client is also available for Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, but the server components are not. The add-on requires the protocol to be installed as prerequisite.
After installing the updates, for the RDP 8.0 protocol to be enabled between Windows 7 machines, an extra configuration step is needed using the editor.A new feature in RDP 8.0 is limited support for RDP session nesting; it only works for Windows 8 and Server 2012 though, Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 (even with the RDP 8.0 update) do not support this feature.The 'shadow' feature from RDP 7, which allowed an administrator to monitor (snoop) on a RDP connection has been removed in RDP 8. The Aero Glass remoting feature (applicable to Windows 7 machines connecting to each other) has also been removed in RDP 8. Version 8.1 This version was released with. A RDP 8.1 client update exists for Windows 7 SP1 as well, but unlike the RDP 8.0 update for Windows 7, it does not add a RDP 8.1 server component to Windows 7.
Furthermore, if RDP 8.0 server function is desired on Windows 7, the KB 2592687 (RDP 8.0 client and server components) update must be installed before installing the RDP 8.1 update.Support for session shadowing was added back in RDP version 8.1. This version also fixes some visual glitches with when running as a.Version 8.1 of the RDP also enables a 'restricted admin' mode. Logging into this mode only requires knowledge of the hashed password, rather than of its, therefore making a attack possible. Microsoft has released an 82-page document explaining how to mitigate this type of attack.
Version 10.0 Version 10.0 of the RDP includes the following new features: AutoSize zoom (useful for HiDPI clients).In addition graphics compression improvements were included utilizing H.264/AVC. Features. 32-bit color support. This section needs additional citations for. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.Find sources: – ( February 2014) There are numerous non-Microsoft implementations of RDP clients and servers that implement subsets of the Microsoft functionality. For instance, the open-source command-line client is available for Linux/Unix and Microsoft Windows operating systems. There are many GUI clients, like and, that are built on top of rdesktop; is such a client for the Macintosh.In 2009, rdesktop was forked as FreeRDP, a new project aiming at modularizing the code, addressing various issues, and implementing new features.
FreeRDP comes with its own command-line-client xfreerdp, which supports Seamless Windows in RDP6. Around 2011, the project decided to abandon forking and instead rewrite under, adding more features like RemoteFX, RemoteApp, and NTLMv2. A commercial distribution called Thincast was started in 2019.
There’s also a GTK-Application named.Open-source RDP servers on Unix include FreeRDP. The Windows Remote Desktop Connection client can be used to connect to such a server.Proprietary RDP client solutions such as are available as a stand-alone application or embedded with client hardware. A new access paradigm, browser-based access, has enabled users to access Windows desktops and applications on any RDP hosts, such as Microsoft Remote Desktop (RDS) Session Hosts (Terminal Services) and virtual desktops, as well as remote physical PCs.There is also a VirtualBox Remote Display Protocol (VRDP) used in the virtual machine implementation. This protocol is compatible with all RDP clients, such as that provided with Windows but, unlike the original RDP, can be configured to accept unencrypted and password unprotected connections, which may be useful in secure and trusted networks, such as home or office. By default, Microsoft's RDP server refuses connections to user accounts with empty passwords (but this can be changed with the Editor ). External and guest authorization options are provided by VRDP as well. It does not matter which operating system is installed as a guest because VRDP is implemented on the virtual machine (host) level, not in the guest system.
The VirtualBox Extension Pack is required.Patents Microsoft requires third-party implementations to license the relevant RDP patents. As of February 2014, the extent to which open-source clients meet this requirement remains unknown.Use in cybercrime Security researchers have reported that cybercriminals are selling compromised RDP servers on underground forums as well as specialized illicit RDP shops. These compromised RDPs may be used as a 'staging ground' for conducting other types of fraud or to access sensitive personal or corporate data.
Researchers further report instances of cybercriminals using RDPs to directly drop malware on computers. See also. and – other desktop remoting protocols.References.
