Deploying Published Applications That Run On Desktop Pools With VM Hosted Applications

You can deliver one or multiple published applications to end users without creating a farm of RDS hosts. You can create a pool of virtual machine desktops to host the applications and then expose end users to only the published applications.

This approach benefits the following applications types.

This strategy simplifies the use of the following application types.

  • Applications that require .NET framework version compatibility.

  • Applications that require special device support, where drivers may not run or be supported on RDS Hosts.

  • Applications that are only tested and certified on Windows 10.

  • Applications that require an install license and usage reporting by independent software vendors.
