Hi, Thank you for your response. But we have further Queries.
We will be using Guacamole alternative for Remote Desktop Connection on Windows Server for connecting multiple machines. - Which Guacamole product will be helpful on WindowsOS? - Please send the link/documentation if possible to install in Windows OS. - Is Client and Server both needed or can be installed on windows? - Will the Client portion be enough for an alternative for remote desktop connection? Please advise Regards, Ayush Jain On Fri, Jun 11, 2021 at 6:14 PM Nick Couchman <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, Jun 11, 2021 at 3:59 AM Ayush Jain <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> We are facing trouble in installing Guacamole on Windows OS.
