Does Windows 10 (or Microsoft in general) have a solution that would allow us to leverage "thin client", "no client" and/or "zero client" hardware? Here's what i'm envisioning. Each user has their own desktop PC running Windows 10 at their desk. Each desktop PC has Remote Desktop enabled. The user goes to a training room and sits down at a "thin client workstation" which is a "thin client" machine connected to a monitor, keyboard and mouse (and networked via ethernet cable). They power on the thin client and are asked for the name of a computer that they want to control. They type in the name of their desktop PC. The user is then prompted for a username/password (the same username/password they use at their desktop PC). It logs them in and they are suddenly controlling their desktop PC as if they were sitting at their desk.
Today, we have "full client" machines in our training room. The process is similar except the user has to power on a full client machine (wait for it to boot), login to the machine (which creates a user profile - which causes a delay), then once they are logged in they run Remote Desktop Connection and remote back to their own desktop PC. Seems like a lot of work to just remote control their existing PC. I'm thinking these thin clients dont have an OS on them at all (or have a very stripped down version of Win10). Does that solution exist today? What options do we have?
