AnyDesk for Windows Server

Table of content

AnyDesk lets you connect to Windows Server devices, including specific server user accounts, though this requires some setup and awareness of limitations

🚨 IMPORTANT

If you’re connecting to a non-console account using AnyDesk, that user must already be logged into the session on the server. This typically requires an RDP session to be open beforehand so display drivers are active and the remote screen is accessible.


Connection methods

AnyDesk supports four connection types to Windows Server:

Format Description
ID Prompts you to choose a user session or the console session at connect.
ID/ Connects to the console session; shows login screen if no user is active.
ID/User Connects directly to the specified user account.
ID/Domain/User Connects to that domain user, useful when usernames repeat across domains.

When connecting, you may see a dialog that lets you select the console or a specific user session. If using “ID/User” or “ID/Domain/User,” ensure the target session is already active.
