Windows accounts let you manage access to Windows servers via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). Users connect through Web Access (a browser-based RDP client) or CLI (using your own RDP client), and every session is recorded.
Windows accounts require session recordings to be stored in an external S3 bucket. Configure this in the template before creating Windows accounts.
