Windows Remote Desktop uses Client Resources or Server Resources

What do you think when i connect to a very high specs server using windows remote desktop client and i run a heavy application then which machine's memory will be consumed by this app??? servers resources or resources of my machine?? And What about running a high end game on server through remote desktop. :-D Adeel bin Khalid

I believe the application runs on the remote machine, but your local machine will consume resources related to the transfer and display of the remote desktop. So the answer to your question is 'both'. Steve

Of course the server's resources will be used - that is the whole point. However, a small amount of resource will be used on the client in order to display the image.

The answer to that should be pretty obvious. Especially since one can disconnect without logging off and then reconnect to the same session and resume from where it was left-off (even from another client machine). It's the server's resources that are being used. Of course, the client displays the UI so some small resources are used on the client. If app is highly interactive such as a game, that may cause some increase in the client, but it probably would not be significant.
