Deploying RDS 2012 Single Server Session

Based deployment
This guide will show you how to deploy RDS 2012 on a single 2012 Server enabling the use
of Remote Desktop Sessions and RemoteApps.
Point to note: This demonstration shows how to deploy RDS using Quick start. I will
demonstrate how to deploy RDS using Standard deployment in a later post.
Preparing for RDS 2012
Before I Install RDS 2012, I will create the OUs and Security Groups required for my
deployment. This will make the configuration of group polices easier later.
OUs
RDS Security Groups

RDSH Servers
RDS Servers
RDS Computers
I have also created the following Security Groups for RDS
Personal-Pool VDI Users : Remote desktop users with allocated Virtual desktops
RDWeb Users: Remote desktop web users
RemoteApp Users: Remote App users
VDI Users: Virtual desktop users
There is no requirement to setup OUs and security groups like I have done, but I would
recommend doing so to improve the manageability of your RDS deployment.
Installing RDS Session Based deployment
It is important to know that you can only have A Remote Desktop session or RemoteApps
Session per Session Collection. There is a workaround (not supported) for this and is
https://ryanmangansitblog.com/2013/03/11/deploying-rds-2012-single-server-session-based-deployment/ 1/38
covered at the end of this post.
Installing RDS Single Server Session Based Deployment:
Open Server Manager > Add Roles and Feature Wizard
Installation type > Remote Desktop Services Installation
Quick install allows you to deploy a RDS platform and create a session collect straight from
install.
Installing RDS Session Deployment using PowerShell
Installing the Server Roles:
New-SessionDeployment -ConnectionBroker RDS1.test.Local -WebAccessServer RDS1.test.Local

RDS1.test.Local
Creating the Session collection for Desktop Sessions:
New-RDSessionCollection -CollectionName TestSessionCollection -SessionHost RDS1.test.Loc
Creating a RemoteApp:
new-rdremoteapp -Alias Wordpad -DisplayName WordPad -FilePath "C:\Program Files\Windows N
Post Install
After installing the RDS roles, you will need to then configure the RDS Certificates that will
be required for access via the endpoint/client device. please see the following link for the
configuration of RDS Certificates: Configuring RDS Certificates and SSO
Once the RDS installation is complete, you will see RDMS and this is where you can manage
your RDS environment.
Adding Remote Desktop session to a RemoteApp session Collection
I mentioned earlier that you could only have a Remote Desktop Session Collection or a
RemoteApp Session Collection.
There is a workaround for this and its easy to configure. you can also look at the following
link which shows you how to enable this through the registry:
https://ryanmangansitblog.com/2014/01/04/publish-remote-desktop-session-in-a-remote-
app-session-collection/
It is also important to note that there is a issue using both remote apps and desktop
sessions on the same server, please see the following link for more details:
RDS 2012 R2 Apps and Sessions using UPD Issue
To publish a Remote Desktop Session you would need to navigate to RemoteApp Programs
and select tasks.
Tasks > Publish RemoteApp Programs
Select Remote Desktop Connection
In the field: Always use the following command-line parameters
Enter the following:
/V:<FQDN of RDSH Server>
/V:RDS1.test.local
There you have it, a single Server deployment with RemoteApps and Remote Desktop
Sessions.

Nice blog
I am new to Windows server as I come from a Unix background, I have installed Windows server 2012
and now I am trying to install RDS, I have followed your above example but the services fail to install.
Some people tell me its due to the fact that my server had been configured as a DC. I now hear that I
must install a V machine on top of my server, Question! Is this all necessary? Do I have to have RDS
on a separate windows installation?
Your opinion will be much appreciated

Hi,
The connection broker is a key component when deploying RDS 2012. The connection Broker role
cannot be deployed to a domain controller and its recommended that you deploy a single server
deployment to another domain member server. You can install certain roles on the domain controller
but I would recommend you use another server.
When you try to deploy RDS to a domain controller, you will see the installation fail.
If you virtualize your server you can then deploy a domain controller and other VMs on the created
hypervisor.
In Server 2012 R2, you can deploy the connection broker to a domain controller. Server 2012 R2 is
due out in September (subject to change).

Hi,
Thank you very much for the information, I now understand! I will give it another try this weekend. I
discovered http://www.terminalserverplus.com, how easy to setup and configure.
I still want to use the Microsoft RDS route as I have purchased all the necessary licenses.
Just one question, do I need licenses for (printers hardware) that are attached to remote end users
as I have only purchased a 10 remote user license?
I have seen quite a few articles of people saying do not install the licenses as a device cal rather
use the user option, thus my question to you about the hardware licenses.
Best Regards,
Ryan.Mangan / July 11, 2013 at 5:18 pm

Hi,
you only need to purchase Client/Device licences depending on your requirements.
The licences are for users who connect to the terminal services / Remote desktops.
Printers and other plug and play devices do not need licences.

Hi, I have SBS 2011 with RD WebAccess, RD Gateway, installed on it. Another Server 2008 is present
with TS Licensing, TS WebAccess, TS Session Host that hosts published applications. I can connect
through remote.domain.com from outside and use These applications without any problem. Now I
wanted to replace Server 2008 with Server 2012 and since I couldnt find any migration steps I
performed clean install of Server 2012 (Server 2008 is still present and functional) with RDS (Quick
install that means that WebAccess, Broker, Session Host is installed) and voila, everything was
configured and accessible from inside LAN. Then I thought that I just need to add (like with Server
2008) servers name into RD WebAccess of SBS so that it points to the new Server, but nothing . I am
not able to see published apps, but I can use them from within LAN. Do you know what should I do ?
How to make Server 2012 apps accessible from outside ?
Thanks
Alex

HI Alex,
Firstly RDS 2012 is not supported or backwards compatible with 2008. I would suggest that you
create a greenfield installation of RDS 2012. Apps should appear in the web interface if the users are
in the correct security groups. You may have a permissions issue.
I would also Check the RD CAP & RAP policies.
Can you please provide the roles you have deployed and servers for your configuration. is there
anything showing in the event logs ?
Let me know how you get on .
Best Regards,

I re-installed again 2012 because I thought Server 2012 RDS doesnt need Broker as I didnt use it
before but after that nothing worked and after I added back Broker role I was not able to connect to
Remote Apps anymore error RemoteApp Disconnected

So I re-installed since I was not able to find the solution online, and now clean install of windows
2012, Add roles and Features, Remote Desktop Service Installation, Quick installation and
installation failed ! My Apps on Server 2012 are online, working locally when I connect to Server
directly but server is not recognized when I go to SBS 2011 Web access, configure page, and want
to add server in the listed servers under Source Name, saying that Error: RD Web Access was not
able to access Server2012. Verify that the computer account of the RD Web Access server is added
to the TS Web Access Computers security group on the RD Session Host Server.
So first current servers
1. SBS 2011 over which I am accessing through remote.domain.com/RDweb, it has WebAccess role,
Gateway Role with NPS (I may need to clean some policies since I have 2x CAP and 3xRAP ) but
nevertheless it should work since 2008 server is working.
In WebAccess page, on configuration tab, name of the 2008 server is entered currently.
2. Legacy 2008 Server , it has TS role, TS Licensing Role, TS WebAccess Role. It has published apps
and I am able to connect from outside the network as said through remote.domain.com/RDWeb.
3. New 2012 Server with Quick install as described in the first paragraph, Roles: RD Broker, RD Web
Access and RD Session Host.
Can you please tell me what to do regarding the installation itself I know that if I repeat installation
with remove-add roles some ghost files will appear example I will have 2x wordpad, 2x paint and
nothing will work saying RDApp Disconnected with error IDs 1306, 802 and one more I am not sure
which one ?
Ryan.Mangan / August 6, 2013 at 10:54 am

I would need to confirm with Microsoft but far as I am aware: SBS 2011 is not supported with RDS
2012.
You would need the following infrastructure:
1: Server 2012 : Connection Broker

2: Server 2012 : Web Access/RD Gateway
3: Server 2012 : Session Host Server
Server 2008 RDS is not compatible or supported when using RDS 2012. You can only use RDS 2012
with Server 2012.

Hello, I have only 1 pc with ws2012 on it, and i need an advice for this problem: give a remote access
to 1 app for 4 persons. How to do that if I have only one i7 pc with static ip? I think it is possible to do
this whit one pc if I install a another ws2012 as virtual in hyper-V. But i dont know how to configurate
the network and the RDS for this. any help please?
Ryan.Mangan / August 6, 2013 at 8:38 pm Reply
You can run a i7 Computer as a Hyper-V server as long as you have a SLAT compatible processor. I
would suggest that you create a network on Hyper-V, you would need to select an external virtual
network and ensure that allow management operating system to share this network adaptor is
selected.

Yes there are many ways. You can build your own RDP file, change the settings in MSTSC and save it

Also when you are in RDweb, there should be a tab called connect to a remote PC which uses the
RD gateway.

So to put it plainly if one wants to deploy RDS so 5 users can access a remote application and you
only have 1 server it is basically impossible correct? You cant deploy RDS on a domain controller and
you cant have RDS without being on a domain.
correct, It is possible on Server 2012 R2 due out in Oct.
Best Regards,
Ryan.Mangan / September 6, 2013 at 12:41 am Reply
on RDS 2012 RTM you are limited on the RDS roles you can deploy to a domain controller. RDS 2012
R2 which is due to be released in October will allow you to deploy all roles on a DC. Its not best
practise but the ability to do so is there.

Hi Ryan,
Im looking how to set a RDS 2012 environment, and at the beginning i thought it should be very easy.
Now im a little bit confused with the following:
In W2K8R2 I configured a DNS Round Robin for my RDSH servers (RDCB not included). Whenever a
client tries to establish a conneciton to the farm name (which is also the dns round robin name) the
client got redirected to by the RDCB to a session host with the least number of logged on users.
I have read some article where in 2012 dns round robin is pointed somehow different:
DNS Round Robin for the RDCB (and not RDSH anymore). Is that right? And i read that users should
not connect to the new RDS farm using mstsc and typing the farm name as it was in windows server
2008 r2 but they should use the rdp file provided in the RD Web Access.
I would be glad for any kind of information, because Im struggling now for a long time.
Thank you.
Hi,
OK.. forget everything you know about RDS 2008R2.
The best way to look at it is by a simple deployment, 1 connection broker, 1 web access server and 1
session host. The most common way to access applications and sessions connections would be
from the web access server. This the passes the information to the connection broker which then
diverts traffic to the session host.
A farm deployment works the same. You can still connect to the RDSH farm name directly but the
RDCB will manage the connection.
RDCB:-
This is the hub of the RDS environment. It ensures that all user connections that are established to
the various Session Hosts are maintained through disconnects and reconnects and play a key role in
simplifying the single sign on experience
you can also load balance Session hosts and the farm name is still created in DNS. you would need
to configure the Farm in the RD gateway server.
Redirects have been removed from RDSH and relocated to the RDCB.
I have a few posts on HA RDCB and load balancing session hosts with KEMP.
I hope that answers your question.
Damien / September 10, 2013 at 2:27 pm
Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the quick reply.
A farm deployment works the same. You can still connect to the RDSH farm name directly but the
RDCB will manage the connection.
Does that mean that dns round robin with entries for the RDSH servers are correct? So
establishing a remote desktop connection to the farmname(collection name) f.ex.
myfarm.mycompany.ch (which points to my RDSH servers) still goes over the RDCB? If yes, is SSO
working this way?
you can also load balance Session hosts and the farm name is still created in DNS. you would need
to configure the Farm in the RD gateway server.
Why do I need to configure the Farm in the RD gateway server? What if I do not want to use one? I
have set up 1 RDCB, 3 RDSH, and 1 RDWA server. SSO only works if i establish a remote desktop
connection over RD Web Access. When I establish a remote desktop connection to

myfarm.mycompany.ch (which is a dns round robin for my RDSH servers) im promped certificate
issues. Thats why Im overthinking my setup of RDS2012.
Sorry for all these questions.

Best.

Yes your DNS entries are correct. all traffic will go over the RDCB. SSO is for the web so you would
need to enter your details unless you are using the RSS Feed which adds the Remote apps and
desktop connections to your desktop. Point to note to bypass the connection broker /admin

You will need to create a SAN certificate that contains you RDSH farm and each Server, you will also
need to change the RDSH certificates, please see the following

you are not using a RDGateway fine there is no requirement configure the RD Gateway.

Ryan.Mangan / September 25, 2013 at 11:09 am

Yes ,
I would recommend that you consider a domain joined environment as RDS environments require a
domain. option three will still need you create user accounts on the local server.
I think that it would be quicker to deploy a dc and a simple rds install.

Ryan,
I have implemented an RDS farm with ~300 concurrent users and with the following servers:
(2) RDG
(2) RDCB
(7) RDSH
Randomly EVERYDAY we get issues where users cannot login. The most common error we see on
the RDCB server is:
RD Connection Broker failed to process the connection request for user DOMAIN\user.
Error: Element not found.
In addition on random RDSH servers we see the following errors:
Remote Desktop Connection Broker Client rejected a call from an unauthorized ip address (RDCB
Private IP).
HRESULT = 0x0
In the past (2) months I have not had a single day without users reporting connectivity problems. Any
ideas would be appreciated.
-Damian Stalls
Hi Damian,
how do your users access RDS internal/external ?
How have you configured your RDSH server (farm) or multiple session collections.
From the error shown, it looks like the connection broker cannot connect to the session host or vis
versa.
Are you using Load balancers NLB or third party.

if you are using LBs what is the balance method and persistence configuration of the VIP?
I would also upgrade your connection broker to a HA configuration . Freek Berson has a great post
on the RD Connection broker performance and scalability.

Hi Ryan,
We currently deploy hundreds of server 2008 R2 workstation servers to our clients for remote app
purposes for our software. We are running into a lot of screen refresh issues which server 2012R2
seems to resolve. Unfortunately, it doesnt seem to be possible to configure remote app functionality
without being on a domain. Other forums mentioned this being possible through powershell but
when Ive tried this it fails when I have to enter the session host FQDN.
Are you able to confirm for me whether it is possible to configure RDS for remote app purposes
without setting up AD?

Your article was very informative, but this does not help me bypass the issue of creating remote

The only information i have found on this regarding to Server 2012 R2, is to use powershell with the

New-RDSessionCollection
followed by:
New-RDRemoteApp
When I try to create the RDSessionCollection, I get the following error:
Exception calling GetCurrentDomainUserSid with 0 argument(s): Current security context is not

planning to make the other one as a 2012 licensing server. So, should I follow your article (single

My users need to connect to remote desktop and run some SQL jobs on the main server,

Yes you can do that, why do you want to install the licensing on a separate server ? Remember to
add the second server to the server group.
yes that should be fine, you can do away with all the RDS infrastructure if you just want terminal
services what I mean by this is add the RDS Session role and licence role together. If you want web
services etc then deploy all the RDS infra.

I have a strange problem. I installed the RDS on one of the 2012 servers and made the other server
as License server. First of all these two servers are in a different domain (not our corporate domain).
But all users supposed to get access have this additional domain accounts as well. So they use the
same domain accounts to RDP to the server which the server belongs, regardless their laptops and
corporate accounts belong to the corporate domain.
1. An administrator of the destination domain connects from his laptop to the RDP server and uses the
destination domain admin credentials RDP works.
2. A normal user who is a part of the RDU group of the destination server tries the same returns
username or password error
3. A normal user who is a part of RDU group of the destination server tries to RDP from a machine
belongs to destination domain works!
That means a normal user, who have additional domain account in the destination domain and is aslo
a part of the RDU group of the server has to RDP from one of the machines in the same destination
domain, not his corporate laptop, though a domain admin of the destination domain can RDP to the
server from his corporate laptop. Please help!!!
Are you using a gateway ?
Can you provide me with some more info on this. If what you are saying is correct, it sounds like a
permissions issue. Have you checked the event logs, is there any messages shown on username or
password error.

you can change the port, or configure some DNS trickery.

Windows 2012, and the 2003 TS continued to function just fine. Users are directed to a specific .exe
on the Terminal Server by a GPO covering their security group.
Wanting a richer desktop experience and faster graphics, I upgraded to a Win 2012 server with a nice
GPU. I installed Remote Desktop Session Host from the Role-based or feature-based installation
option, along with License Diagnoser. I then installed my app in install mode, with subsequent
reversion to execute mode. I did NOT use the Remote Desktop Services Installation option, and I
did NOT install either the Connection Broker OR the Web Access component. Going this route has
led to NUMEROUS ERRORS, as one might expect. These are examples:
Remote Desktop Connection Broker Client failed to redirect the user DOMAIN\xxxuser.
Error: NULL
Remote Desktop Connection Broker Client failed while getting redirection packet from Connection
Broker.
User : DOMAIN\xxxuser
Error: Remote Desktop Connection Broker is not ready for RPC communication.
The Windows All-User Install Agent could not update timestamp for user user account
DOMAIN\xxxuser. The error code is 0x8007054F.
The Windows All-User Install Agent could not to retrieve a list of packages for the user account
DOMAIN\XXXUSER. The error code is 0x80070002.
Nevertheless, the app functions just perfectly. The ONLY functional loss I have discovered is my
apparent inability for a user with a default printer other than the default TCP-port network printer
installed on the RDSH machine to redirect print jobs. When they try, they get this error:
The document Print Document, owned by xxxUser, failed to print on printer Dell B1260dn Mono Laser
Printer (redirected 2). Try to print the document again, or restart the print spooler.
Data type: NT EMF 1.008. Size of the spool file in bytes: 589824. Number of bytes printed: 0. Total
number of pages in the document: 1. Number of pages printed: 0. Client computer: \\TS2012. Win32
error code returned by the print processor: 5. Access is denied.
The drivers on the RDSH server and the Windows 7 Pro workstation with the direct-USB attached
B1260dn are identical. The user is in security group with permissions on the appropriate folders in
Windows/System32/spool. The appropriate GPO settings have been made and tested with modeling.
Do not allow client printer redirection Disabled

Do not set default client printer to be default printer in a session Disabled
Redirect only the default client printer Disabled
Specify RD Session Host server fallback printer driver behavior Enabled
When attempting to find a suitable driver: Default to PCL if one is not found.
Policy Setting Comment

Use Remote Desktop Easy Print printer driver first Disabled
I have even tried giving that security group permission to restart the spooler service on the RDSH
server. No luck with any of this.
I realize that my approach is totally unorthodox, but I really do not need the overhead of Web Access,
or the added security risks that come with an IIS installation in my domain. I have tried installing the
Connection Broker with RDSH role, but this leaves no one but the administrator able to connect. Is
there some supported (or unsupported) way to achieve my goal without IIS and the Web Access
component? Alternatively, were I to go with the recommended RDS install method, could I
subsequently disable IIS and remove Web Access and still have the functionality I desire?
Thanks for your consideration of this issue Ryan.

I have been trying to find the same answer as you, John. Interesting how Ryan ignored your
questions. Like you, Im coming from a windows 2003 ts environment and have run into similar
issues as you describe. All the articles and blogs I find on deploying remote desktop on a windows
2012 r2 server end up requiring your users to bring up a web link in order to get to a remote desktop
icon. I havent found any references to using the old rdp client program as in windows server
2003. Did you find an answer?
Ryan.Mangan / June 25, 2014 at 3:07 pm

Dear Fjacka,
I am intrested to know what you mean in your post Intresting how Ryan ignored your questions.
Just to make it clear, there may be times when my priorities take precedence over replies to emails I
receive from here. I request you to respect my efforts to share my knowledge and to understand my
inability to reply.
Server 2012 / R2 Requires the Connection Broker and Web Access Role. The overheads and
security issues are minimal and the fact that both the Connection broker require SSL Certificates
should provide some form of comfort. I have deployed solutions in a workgroup where no
connection brokers/rdweb are used but this can only be achieved using Device CALS.
Terminal services is a thing of the past, the product has evolved with a significant number of
changes through its life cycles. To gain the full functionalty of RDS you need to deploy the required
roles: RD Connection Broker, RD Web Access, and Session/VDI role.
disabling and trying to boycot the soluition will only cause issues as it has been designed to work
with these roles.
Best regards,

Dumb question of the day. I set up RD to use with a hosted VPN. I followed another tutorial for setup
and dont have a Quick collection, although I created a test collection called GP (for Dynamics GP). I
put some apps in it and saved it. My question is how to get a user who logs on to get just the screen
you have above titled Work Resources with the allowed apps, when they connect?
Thanks.

Hi Ryan,
I appreciate all the good information. I do have one question I would appreciate some info on. I have
my RD web access set up and working great. Ive seen in other posts info that seems to indicate I
should be able to see a Shared Folders icon on the RD website, but I dont. My website looks
identical to yours. I can open remote apps and I can connect to other PCs on the network. In the
Essentials dashboard, there are setting that will block shared folders from being available through
web access, but nothing that seems to enable it. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

A folder is used to segregate remote apps. You can create one in the session collection. I will add
this to the list to do.
Sandy Harless / February 11, 2014 at 8:17 pm
Wow. That was a quick response. Thanks. Ive seen a few blogs where folders were created for the
apps. I dont think this is whats missing, though. If you look at the image above of the RD website,
you see the RemoteApps and Desktops section and the Connect to a remote PC section. I have the
same thing. On some blogs, Ive seen another section for shared folders and the Windows Server
Essentials Dashboard seems to suggest that the Server Folders should be published there.
However, there is no Shared Folder icon or section on the website no matter what I try. It just seems
that the RD web access is much less functional if I cant get to shared folders and files. Please let
me know if Im thinking about this all wrong. I think Im mostly set up correctly, as the apps and
remote PC function work great.
I sincerely appreciate your time. Ive spent quite a while putting this all together and your info really
helped.

Hi Ryan
Love your blog and I have what may be a simple issue. I have single 2012 server configured with RDS
using RD Web Access loading a couple of apps. It all works perfectly fine internally, but externally I
get the following errors:
-
Error: Unable to display RD Web Access
An unexpected error has occurred that is preventing this page from being displayed correctly.
Viewing this page in Internet Explorer with the Enhanced Security Configuration enabled can cause
such an error.
Please try loading this page without the Enhanced Security Configuration enabled. If this error
continues to be displayed, please contact your administrator.

The site is being loaded form an external PC (not a server) without ESC so that cant be it. Here are
some details on suggestions Ive used FYI:
1) I have configured a local DNS zone to use the external name example.domain.com, which works
2)The certificates for the connection broker (Single sign on and Publishing), RD Web Access and RD
Gateway are all the same external CA for the external name example.domain.com. I have read mixed
messages about using an internal certificate for the broker using the local computer name
3) I have created a farm name on the gateway with relevant IP and FQDN even though this is not a
farm
4) In IIS RDWeb/Pages I have disabled HTTP redirects which was set by default. I had to do this to get
the apps working internally, otherwise they failed at logon
5) Using PowerShell (Set-RDPublishedName ), I changed the RDPublished name to the external name
example.domain.com. but I do note that the within the deployment properties the URL showing for
RD Web Access is https://computernane.local, not the external name
6) Finally I have put the server into DMZ an disabled the local firewall which makes no difference so
missing ports are not the issue.

I hope there is not too much information overload here and appreciate any insight you may have.
Thanks very much
Regards Michael

You will need to have separate servers, you can use a hyper-V server and have multiple session host

Bill / February 20, 2015 at 7:58 pm
Hi Ryan,
Thanks for all the great info. This discussion has spanned a lot of time. Let me ask something
relating to beach305s post on May 24, 2014 regarding setting up RDS on a DC/AD.
According to Microsoft with the release of 2012 R2, you can now install Gateway Connection Broker
in conjunction with DC/AD. While this would most certainly still not be best practice, they state it is
possiblehowever, in reading blogs and forums, etc. I have been unable to find anyone posting a
successful example of this deployment.I have also not seen any rescinding of the statement by
Microsoft. Everyone keeps talking about how its not a best practice.
So my question. Disregarding the best practice discussion, and sticking only to can it be done. Are
you aware if this deployment is generally successful now that Microsoft says the feature has been
added, or is it so rife with errors that is it virtually un-deployable, without significant almost never-
ending troubleshooting and whack-a-mole tweaking. For can it be done, lets use a standard of
generally deploys and works as stated on first attempt, and if there is an issue, is generally easily
addressed.

Hi Bill, I have just spun up a VM, deployed Active directory, RDCB, RD Web access and RD Session
host. Works fine. The functionality has been around for a wile now. Make sure you are using the
latest version of server 2012 R2 and its patched up to date. Deploy using Standard installation.
Nothing else different to a regular install.

Hi Ryan,
Here is my setup I was hoping you can help me with.
Server1
Roles installed: Broker, Session Host, Web Access, License Manager
Server2
Roles installed: Session Host
On server1 under collections I have added both session hosts severs. I have created two separate
collections. Server1 on collection1 and server2 on collection2.
What Im try to accomplish is to designate an app to only launch from 1 sever and not be load
balanced. We have quickbooks installed on both servers and I would like a user to be able to launch
quickbooks from each server but all have this under 1 webaccess URL.

Mike / April 1, 2015 at 8:42 pm Reply
Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the detailed article, and Im excited that you might be the man with the answers I need.
Ive seen several comments that feel adjacent to what Im looking for, and I know that TS is dead and
gone, but Im a little turned around, so Im gonna ask anyway.
I dont need any slick VDI, RemoteApp, or collection-based deployments. Im trying to replace what I
have today using 2012 R2 boxes and would like to keep the bloat to a minimum.
An example of our environment today:

BoxA RDS Licensing server
BoxB Session Host
BoxC Session Host
BoxB and BoxC are totally unrelated. Theyre just tools/jump servers that we need for various
endeavors, but weve got all of our CALs loaded onto BoxA. Is it possible to just install RDSH on BoxB
and BoxC, and then install the licensing bits on BoxA? Im trying to picture what the topology looks
like here, and it feels excessive to setup collections, web access points, and a half-dozen role
services, when my goal is to provide a very simple terminal services type environment via mstsc. I just
need to have more than 2 concurrent users on a given box and would prefer to avoid too-complex of
an environment to support that.
I dont mean to fight the flow of technology here; Instead of BoxA being just a Licensing server,
should I instead add the connection broker role service, configure a couple of session-based
collections (each only using a single RDSH), and call it a day?
Hi Mike, you will can only use device licences when using session hosts on their own and everything
would need to be configured via Group policy as you have RDMS. I would recommend using a layer
7 load balancer to control sessions too.
Mike / April 2, 2015 at 7:50 pm
Thanks for the reply! So, if I created a single machine to handle all of our licensing (user-based
CALs), built out separate/unrelated machines with just the RDSH role service, and then configured
the RDSH boxes to point to the licensing machine via GPO, Id be all set? If thats the case, it sounds
exactly like it was with previous versions, minus the GUI to configure the RDSH to point to a
licensing server like we had in 2008. Am I just overthinking it?

Ryan..thanks for responding to all these questions! Hopefully you can assist me. We have SRTERM-01
as a physical single server Remote Desktop services server, handling all roles execpt Licensing (on
the domain controller). We would like to add SRTERM-02 as a virtual server, move all roles to it and
then decommission SRTERM-01. Can this be accomplished by setting up a farm, or do I need to go to
High Availability so I can move the RDConnectionBroker role? I see that you caution against High
