Configure RemoteFX

RemoteFX is a set of Microsoft Windows technologies that greatly enhances the end-user visual and performance experience over the RDP protocol. It is available in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and later. Windows 7 was the first client side operating system to support RemoteFX. Both the client and the server versions must be able to support RemoteFX in order for these enhancements to work.

Although RAS supports earlier versions of Windows Server, certain performance capabilities will not be available when those versions are used. RemoteFX has been improved with subsequent releases of Windows. The best performance will always occur when running the latest version of Microsoft Windows Server being accessed from the latest workstation version.

Parallels RAS supports RemoteFX on the following clients:

• Parallels Windows Client for Windows installed on Windows 7 SP1 and higher.

• Parallels Client for Mac

• Parallels Client for Linux

• Parallels Client for iOS

• Parallels Client for Android

• Parallels Client for ChromeApp running on ChromeBooks
