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
