Windows Desktop client list of connections instead of icons
In the Windows Desktop client (Remote Desktop for WVD), there appears to be a limit of 15 characters in a connection name before it gets truncated and ... is added. This causes names to be indistinguishable if they are long, and a primary descriptor is at the end. For example:
CompanyName-Department-Prod-EastUS
CompanyName-Department-Prod-WestUS
CompanyName-Department-Prod-NorEuro
CompanyName-Department-Dev-SouthEast
etc...The only way to see the available connections is by icon. Add functionality in the Windows Desktop client for list view, and functionality to configure a default.

Enable KDC Proxy Service outside of RD Gateway
Currently to be able to use the KDC proxy you need to enable the RD Gateway, but the use of KDC Proxy is needed outside of RD Applications. Please add the option to enable the KDC Proxy as a stand alone feature.

Allow us to hard set network location profile
Network Location Awareness is very useful feature on desktops. Particularly in the current climate of people taking machines home, having them detect "Public" networks is useful.
However, it is nearly unheard of for a Windows Server to be picked up and taken to an untrusted network. Instead of the benefits of this feature, there are many reasons wherein a server may decide it's in a public network and firewall itself from access. This will, for example, prevent a file server sharing files, or an Exchange server accepting email. If this occurs to Domain Controllers, it will trigger all other servers…

RSAT on Windows 10 2004
We have search the Web and cannot install RSAT on this OS. nothing works. even after tearing holes in our security , we have fiddled and broken WSUS. and still we cannot get the RSAT tools installed.
We have the stand alone installer, we have tried the option feature approach. It simply will not install because we have a WSUS server. The end game over thats all folk, go back Windows 10 1809 so that you can work.5 votes -
Add build number to WSUS
WSUS does not show the build number of the OS. If you add "Version" to the overview, the version of "Windows Update Engine" shows up. Because 1903, 1909, 2004 and 20H2 use the same Windows Update Engine, the number stays the same.
We want to see the build number of the OS versions! And not the Windows Update Engine version!
20H2 should show up as 19042.572 and not as 19041.546!

Disk Management under a non-domain account cannot detach VHDs on network shares
To reproduce:
1) Run Disk Management as a user that both:
- is a local admin, and
- has domain credentials to access some network share2) "Attach VHD", choose a .vhdx file stored on a network share.
3) Run Disk Management as a user that both:
- is a local admin, and
- does not have domain credentials4) Right-click the VHD's item in the Disk list, click "Detach VHD"
Observe that a dialog pops up reporting the UNC path to the VHD file, which is of course already a bad sign.
Click OK.
Observe that an dialog pops…2 votes -

add clipboard history feature to Windows Server OR a password manager
I want to have sort of security for "pasting" passwords into legacy apps, from the GUI.
So was surprised that Windows Server 2019 does not have this feature yet of clipboard history just like Windows 10.
Or maybe a password manager with a safe delete after a timeout
I realize it might be anyway a security problem with scripts and stuff.. anyway !3 votes -
openssh for windows support socket multiplex (controlMaster option)
For a server that enters a dynamic password to log in, it is really annoying to enter a password every time. It is important to support multiplex sockets like linux ssh.

remote desktop port
Remote Desktop > Advanced Settings is extremely user-unfriendly for changing the RDP port.
I correctly shows my current port number, and it has a link for changing the port number. It redirects to a very technical link [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/change-listening-port] that surely scares a lot of people into doing that.
There should be an input box for setting the new port number, and after changing that it should restart the service without needing to restart the operating system.

RDP for Windows Desktop
A box beside the default / current listening port (3389) to change the port number on Windows computers instead of modifying the registry manually.
Thank you.
