What does "workspace id:s" do in an RDP file?

I am debugging an RDP connection, and in the .rdp file there is a flag

workspace id:s:my-rdp-host.example.com

I see this parameter included in examples in many places on the internet like StackOverflow and in Microsoft support. But, no one ever explains what it does. It is not even listed in the official docs for RDP.

So, does anyone know what the workspace id:s: setting does in an RDP file?

Solution

  • This value seems to appear in remote application session when mouse is over rdp icon in task bar. For example see the icon where i set: workspace id:s:test
