Hey everyone! I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to directly access the desktop of a Windows Server using AWS CLI and AWS Systems Manager. So far, all I've come across are methods for port forwarding or gaining terminal access. Any insights would be super helpful! Thanks!

You can actually use Fleet Manager to RDP directly through your browser. Just hit the Connect button in the EC2 console, and it will take you to the right place!
To access the Windows Server desktop, you will need to set up port forwarding and then use a Remote Desktop client. Unfortunately, there isn't a direct way to access it without going through those steps.
Just to clarify, are you looking for console access or RDP? If you're aiming for GUI access, you will have to use port forwarding to connect. I mean, I’ve tried using the CLI commands you mentioned, but they won’t take you straight to the desktop without that workaround.
