About Duo Authentication for Windows Logon
- Local or domain account logins
- Logins at the local console and/or incoming Remote Desktop (RDP) connections

- Shift + right-click "Run as different user"
- PowerShell "Enter-PSSession" or "Invoke-Command" cmdlets
- Non-interactive logons (i.e. Log on as a Service, Log on as Batch, Scheduled Tasks, drive mappings, etc.)
- Pre-Logon Access Providers (PLAPs) such as Windows Always On VPN
