Azure Virtual Desktop mentions (16)

• Mini Desktop

  Another option that would be considered an alternative would be Azure Virtual Desktops - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/virtual-desktop/. I have practically no experience with this approach but I have seen it suggested more and more lately, just something to consider. Source: 10 months ago

• Cybersecurity for a small businss - where to start

  This is highly specific to the all of the roles of the server and its data. Is it simply a hypervisor? You might be a good candidate for https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/virtual-desktop/. Azure/Office/MS365 is a great place to begin a security journey, as you can scale up and down in terms of your security spend based on where you're at. Source: almost 1 year ago

• Need to work remote for 5 days and WiFi in hotel does not allow VPN connections according to their website. I cannot change hotel, but how can I use my phone for internet on a Work computer? I am not allowed to load anything like PDANet+.

  - If this remote work 5 days is for companies business, then this should be solved for by your company's IT department. They could provision a "Cloud" desktop (e.g. Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop). Or provide you with a work issue mobile hotspot. Source: over 1 year ago

Thinstation mentions (7)

• OpenSource Thin Client?

  What about ThinStation? That can apparently bootstrap enough components to talk to Citrix, Redhat, Windows, VMWare Horizon, etc... Apparently even telnet, VMS and SSH if you're feeling really nostalgic. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Ubuntu server with Dump linux based terminals

  For your old clients, I guess that ThinStation will be fine, either you're using ThinLinc or other kind of remote access. https://thinstation.github.io/thinstation/. Source: about 2 years ago

• Low power SFF PC to use as a thin client, that has four video outputs?

  Oh wow that'd be really great of you. ThinStation is what I've been looking at. But if the aren't locked down it should work. Source: about 2 years ago

• Windows 10 to automatically log in and run remote desktop login, disable all other apps.

  I think that I've read good quality suggestions, but... Why waste a Windows license for it to work as a thin client? Try installing Thinstation - https://thinstation.github.io/thinstation/ (or make the computer boot it from network!). Source: over 2 years ago

• Looking to set up a few of these Wyse clients... Advice? See comment.

  I hate ThinOS. Try to install anything else if you can. Thinstation is free. LTSP network boots its clients. Source: over 2 years ago
