About eight months ago, I came across a tool in the repository called Remote Desktop Connection Manager ('RDCMan' for short) written by Julian Burger, one of our principal developers on the Windows Live Experiences team. RDCMan is a central place where you can organize, group, and manage your various Remote Desktop connections. 4) Start the connection: Connect to the Linux machine via ssh/telnet/rlogin/whatever and run: DISPLAY=WINDOWSIP:0;export DISPLAY;APPLICATIONYOUWANTTORUN & EXAMPLE: DISPLAY=192.168.1.10:0;export DISPLAY;xterm & 5) Minimize the SSH/telnet session, do not close it. If you close it, your X connections will close.
-->You can access Windows Virtual Desktop resources on devices with Windows 10, Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, and Windows 7 using the Windows Desktop client.

However, if the client detects additional Azure Resource Manager resources, it adds them automatically or notifies the user that they're available.
Use a specific URL
Select Subscribe with URL from the main page.
Enter either the Workspace URL or an email address:
- For Workspace URL, use the URL provided by your admin.
