Orange Pi PC2 as Remote Desktop Client for Windows

chameleon · Published in 2017-8-3 10:15:46

I want to setup a small business network with a server PC with Windows.
All clients, I want to be Orange PI PC2. Every client will open a Remote Desktop Connection on Windows (My Windows version, support simultaneous Remote Desktop Connections but from different users).
This must happen with Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol and not others (like VNC etc) because in other protocols, only one Remote Desktop Connection can happen.
So the questions are:
- Is there a package in Rasbian which support RDP as client? This is not so nice solution because user must open the client OS (e.g. Rasbian) and then the RD client.
- or better: Is there an image which is super-optimised to make Orange PI a RD Client (open directly on RDP login). Something like this for Raspberry PI: https://winterminal.com/index.html#wtware4pi

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
What Windows Server version do you want to use?

I would not use a Windows as OS for my server, I would use a Linux like openSuSE and armbian for the clients.
