Yes, Rublon MFA for Windows Logon & RDP supports both GUI and core (Windows Server Core) installs.

Additional requirement for Windows Server Core

Rublon MFA for Windows Logon & RDP is compatible with Windows Server Core. However, on Windows Server Core, you must install the Application Compatibility feature and restart the server for Rublon MFA to start correctly.

Use the following command in the Command Prompt to install the Application Compatibility feature:

dism /online /add-capability /capabilityname:ServerCore.AppCompatibility~~~~0.0.1.0 /norestart

PowerShell equivalent:

Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name "ServerCore.AppCompatibility~~~~0.0.1.0"

Restart the server after installation.

Note: If “ServerCore.AppCompatibility~~~~0.0.1.0” is not found, verify the AppCompatibility capability name on your Windows Server version:

dism /online /get-capabilities | findstr /i "AppCompat"
