Jan 21, 2026RDP Webtop deployment
Hello,
I am trying to deploy a webtop with an RDP resource assigned and I have two questions:
- For the RDP resource destination, is it advisable to use as destination a virtual server (RDP 3389) with a pool of multiple rdp session hosts - hosted on the same f5?
- Following the guide (Configuring Remote Desktop Access), I see that an RDG policy assignment is used. Is this really necessary?
I have deployed without it and it works without an issue. What are the advantages? Because in my experience the Client Type is never Microsoft RDP Client ( I tested and it always matches the fallback)
Thanks,

Hello,
FYI , please find the answer about queries
- Yes, this is not only advisable, it’s a best practice
- No, it’s not mandatory — but it’s useful in specific scenarios.(i think you can safely skip it if: Access is always via Webtop)
FYI -
