On session host Host1, configure Windows Defender Firewall to allow inbound network traffic for RDP Shortpath. Which program under C:\Windows\System32 should the inbound firewall rule target?

RDP Shortpath for managed networks uses the UDP protocol for direct connectivity between the client and the session host. The Windows service responsible for handling RDP connections, including RDP Shortpath, is the Remote Desktop Services service. This service runs within a shared host process, svchost.exe. Therefore, to allow inbound UDP traffic for RDP Shortpath, the firewall rule must target svchost.exe. Rdpshell.exe is related to the RDP shell but not the core service. Raserver.exe is associated with Remote Assistance. Mstsc.exe is the Remote Desktop Connection client application, not a server-side component.
