    Hey, I found these:

    1. mstsc/v:<server>[:<port>] Specifies the remote computer and, optionally, the port number to which you want to connect.
    2. mstsc/admin Connects you to a session for administering the server.
    3. publish .rdp files for users requiring access to a specific server.

    BY using /admin means you are bypassing RDS CALs, and only two admin sessions are permitted

    However I also found this post:

    Hope this helps!
    Cheers

    Hello :),

    Besides RDWEB, you can use Remote Desktop Connection (MSTSC) or the new Remote Desktop (MSRDC) client to access Windows apps and desktops remotely.

    MSRDC:

    And here is their difference:

    About the address, do you mean RDWEB’s address?
    If it is, the URL usually in this form https://”Your RDWA server name”/rdweb
    From the deployment properties, you can also find the address.

    Hope this helps!

    Sorry, I misspelled it. I have set up a test environment with 2 session host remote desktop on 2 servers. Of course, plus the rest of the roles with RDP (like brooker and rdweb) on another server. If you try to get a rdweb address from mstsc, it connects me to a server (e.g. brooker and rdweb) not to remote host. Is it possible to connect to this 2 host without using a browser? I know it is about connecting to the gateway server so that it can redirect me to these hosts, but unfortunately something is not going well :/
