The issue with multiple Remote Desktop Sessions on Windows 10 and 8. Attempting to initiate a second Remote Desktop session will cause any users working locally on the machine or logged in through an existing RDP session to be kicked out. The issue is not a result of the technical capabilities of Windows 10 but rather with the license agreement. Since these tools are very specific to the Microsoft environment, most of them don't get released externally. About eight months ago, I came across a tool in the repository called Remote Desktop Connection Manager ('RDCMan' for short) written by Julian Burger, one of our principal developers on the Windows Live Experiences team.
- Log on as admin user with RDP
- Create a local (not Microsoft account) account with the name that would be before the @ (i.e. qwerty if the MS email were qwerty@outlook.com)
- Give to the created local user the “Remote Desktop Users” rights.
- Now log off as admin
- Remote desktop and use username .qwerty (note no @outlook.com)
- Now navigate to the new win10 settings user interface “PC Settings -> Users and Accounts ->” and link the local account with your Microsoft account.
- Log out
- Now log in using .qwerty@outlook.com
- If you want you can login as admin and give administrator rights to the user.
-->Virtualization and remote desktops are an important part of your infrastructure and work. And, we recommend that you use Windows built-in Remote Desktop Connection (%windir%system32mstsc.exe) or universal Remote Desktop client instead of Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCMan).

RDCMan is a client that is widely used to manage multiple remote desktop connections because it's a convenient option. However, RDCMan has not kept pace with the level of advanced technology that we're pursuing.

Instead, we have two great supported client options: Remote Desktop Connection and Universal Client for Windows 10. These clients offer increased security, and they are a key part of our engineering roadmap moving forward. In the future, you can expect even more capabilities, such as the ability to better manage multiple connections.
