Microsoft has time and again heard from customers that license management should focus on simplification to scale deployments. Therefore, it has focused on improving management of Remote Desktop (RD) Licensing servers and entitlement through Active Directory (AD).

• Now, you will be able to leverage high availability RD Licensing servers with forward-compatibility for future versions of Windows Server to enable easier management of licenses from a variety of RDS releases.
• It has become easier to manage licenses for your employees by bringing the ability for the RD Licensing servers to update RDS user Client Access Licenses (CALs) into AD objects without accessing AD directly.
• Lastly, perfmon (Performance Counters) APIs have been added to provide partners an easy way to access data to build monitoring dashboards and deliver a consistent user experience.

Microsoft has also invested in providing an enhanced user experience where end users will be able to leverage desktops and apps through RDS 2022 to maximize productivity.

• Modern notifications for RemoteApp in the Action Center to improve productivity with applications like Microsoft Outlook.
• They have improved upon innovations in Discrete Device Assignment in RDS 2019 to bring better security, virtual machine (VM) isolation, and performance for your graphic-intensive workloads. These improvements in GPU virtualization technologies will result in reduced network traffic and smooth video playback.
• In addition to the GPU virtualization technology, they added high-level redirection of built-in or attached video cameras to deliver optimized video stream at higher frame rates in new and legacy remote applications and desktops. Users can now have a better experience with video-intensive interactions.
• Reduced CPU usage on the client and server and bandwidth with better image quality to bring a faster end-to-end web client experience.

One of Microsoft primary goals as the Remote Desktop Services product team is to help improve your security posture for your desktop and app virtualization environments. They have improved security through several enhancements.

• With Windows Admin Center integration, it is easy to consolidate all local and remote server management into a single pane.
• Several Windows Defender optimizations for multi-session to give you more confidence. In bringing a secure, scalable and cost-effective desktop experience to end users.
• Web client support for Single Sign-on (SSO) to deliver a streamlined authentication experience for users connecting via the web client.
• A few additional features include easy-to-configure DTLS-based encryption, all of which, work toward providing a trusted end-to-end RDS deployment.
