2.4 Assumptions and Preconditions

The Remote Desktop Services protocols assume that:

  • The RDP client and RD Session Host server have network connectivity over TCP/IPv4 or IPV6, as specified in [RFC793] and [RFC2460].

  • The RDP client initiating the connection is using an implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).

  • The RD Session Host server is configured, and any firewall between the RDP client and RD Session Host server is configured to allow RDP traffic.

  • The RD Session Host server is actively listening for RDP client connections on a registered port.
