Hi Nick Thanks for getting back to me. Doesnt look like FreeRDP supports it, and reading the comments about it, its hard (uses RPC & SMB protocols). I am now thinking it might actually not be possible with Guacamole, as we would need to allow port 445/139 for SMB, as well as other ports - which will not be possible unless the guacamole server is in the same LAN as all the PCs.
Is there any other option to use another protocol with Windows? i have read that X2Go / X11 are not possible due to them being based on X11 etc etc, but X.Org could be possible. But this would only be available for linux....
