Deploying Windows Applications that Run on Desktop Pools with VM Hosted Applications

You can deliver one or multiple published Windows applications to end users without creating a farm of RDS hosts by creating a pool of virtual machine desktops to host the applications and then expose end users to only the published applications.

This approach benefits the following applications types:

• Applications that are only tested and certified on Windows 11 or 10.
• Applications that require .NET framework version compatibility.
• Applications that require special device support, where drivers may not run or be supported on RDS Hosts.
• Applications that require an install license and usage reporting by independent software vendors.
