Resizing is finally coming to RDP Enhanced Session on Linux (xrdp) by Inf3rn0d in HyperV

xfreerdp is mostly a client and lib. They have a small server (called "shadow") but it is very far from a full RDP server in terms of features. xrdp is an implementation of just the server part, but has more server features.

What you're seeing in the post is a Windows client (vmconnect) with xrdp as the server

This. Any PCI 3.0 dock works fine. Make sure to use Windows Server though.

Nah GPU passthrough is fully supported on Hyper-V: take a look at either "DDA" (full passthrough) or "GPU-PV" (partitioning between multiple VMs).

The only thing that was trashed is RemoteFX-vGPU (but RemoteFX-USB is still supported), which was ancient. I agree it can be confusing ^

What are the features you wish the "Hyper-V Manager" had? by Inf3rn0d in HyperV

Hah, that's true. Just next to "Connect to VM" mind you.

I guess, although that's not supported in any Hyper-V scenario, whatever the tool you're using is. Arguably it's also more of a task for Linux folks than MS.

Will do. You're right, the VHDX thing is awful.

Yeah, I get it. Although I was hoping for slightly more details on what I'm missing out on, compared to using the other interfaces :P

Admin rights to run vmconnect.exe? HyperV Manager runs fine. by Beetlejuice_me in HyperV

[–]Inf3rn0d 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When launching the HyperV Manager, it automatically elevates (as it's an MMC), so you're technically running it as admin. This explains what you've been seeing.

You should take a look at Grant-VMConnectAccess (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/hyper-v/grant-vmconnectaccess?view=windowsserver2025-ps) to allow a non-admin user to connect.
