| Alternative | Pros | Cons | |-------------|------|------| | | Fully compliant, supported, secure. | Cost (~$100-200 per CAL), requires RDS role installation. | | RDSH (Session Host) | Designed for multiple users, full management tools. | Overkill for small labs, needs licensing server. | | Third-Party RDP Wrappers (e.g., RDP Wrapper Library) | No system file modification; hooks via DLL injection. | Also violates EULA; less stable than direct patch. | | VMs or Multiple Servers | Isolated, clean, manageable. | Hardware/cost overhead. | | Windows 10/11 Pro (with RDP patch) | Cheaper, easier to patch, but not a server OS. | Lacks server features (AD, DNS, IIS scale). |
