Not sure if/how FreeRDP handles this but here is some context about changes from Windows Server 2003 to 2008 (RDC 6.1): https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/security-compliance-and-identity/changes-to-remote-administration-in-windows-server-2008/ba-p/246577
On a Desktop OS (Windows 11), this is what I see: Connecting through Guacamole via RDP as the SAME user I have logged into the console "steals" the session that was on the console, regardless of the "Administrator console" setting on the connection in Guacamole. Connecting through Guacamole via RDP as a DIFFERENT user I have logged into the console asks me if I want to disconnect them, and when I choose Yes, asks them (on the console) if they want to be disconnected with a 30s countdown, regardless of the "Administrator console" setting on the connection in Guacamole. On a server OS (Windows Server 2022) with RDS role, this is what I see: (FWIW, I do have "Restrict Remote Desktop Services users to a single Remote Desktop Services session" enabled in my group policy for my terminal servers.) Connecting through Guacamole via RDP as the SAME user I have logged into the console "steals" the session that was on the console, regardless of the "Administrator console" setting on the connection in Guacamole. Connecting through Guacamole via RDP as a DIFFERENT user I have logged into the console does NOT affect the session on the console, regardless of the "Administrator console" setting on the connection in Guacamole.
