Microsoft announces Remote Desktop web client
Microsoft now announces a public preview of the Remote Desktop web client, allowing users to access virtualized applications and desktops from a browser without having to install a local remote desktop client. Because it works in the browser, installation or maintenance costs can be avoided and users can access it from anywhere, including self-help and other non-personal devices, and the local RD client may not be available.

Microsoft said that using the Remote Desktop web client Preview version, users can access applications and desktops published from Remote Desktop Services deployments, copy text from the session (using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V) and print to PDF files. Microsoft will enable new features in the future based on user feedback.
This HTML5-based preview Web client from Microsoft is called RD Web Client. You also need to install software on the server machine that supports Edge browsers, IE11, Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari browsers. Unfortunately, the mobile client does not yet support this feature.
