The access server accepts remote connections from PAM users and automatically opens remote connections to target resources on behalf of privileged accounts.

  • No group policies related to remote access are applied
  • None of the RDS role components (RDCB, RDG, RDL, RDSH, RDVH, RDWA) are deployed
