Connect to RDP session in VDI

Matthias

Hi there

I want to setup a classroom environment where the students are using a RDP connection to our VDI to access their Windows VMs.
So I've installed the Veyon Master on the teacher VM and the Veyon Service an all Student VMs.
Unfortunately I can just see the Windows logon window. But from the Master I cannot get into the students user session to support them. So it looks like that it's not possible to use a shared connection.

Any advice is much appreciated.
Does Veyon support only access to native clients? Because it's working okay, if I install it on a native Windows notebook.

Looking forward to your replies.

Hi Matthias,

for remote desktop sessions, you'll multi session support in Veyon which currently is only implemented as a draft for Windows. See my previous post at https://veyon.nodebb.com/topic/802/multi-session-support-at-windows-10/2 for possible solutions.

Best regards

@tobydox
Is this something that should now be working in the current stable release?
As I am currently seeing it operate, it's still the same and even w/ the environment variable set, it's only taking me to the login screen instead of showing me the active session

Hi @Matthias, @NJKirchner
the documentation regarding multi session support has been updated: https://docs.veyon.io/en/latest/admin/reference.html#refmultisessionmode and https://docs.veyon.io/en/latest/admin/configuration.html#conflocationsandcomputers Please note that multi session support is still experimental and will be improved in the next 4.4.x releases. There'll also be an add-on for full VDI support in Q1/2021.
