Just installed my first ever RDS Server 2012 and i have been playing around and reading various blogs / articles regarding configuration. The server is part of a domain with SBS2011 as the main DC.
I wanted to set the server up to give standard remote desktop capability to a satellite office so that they can access an SQL based application and give me central management of the apps they are using. When I first installed RDS it setup a Session with various RemoteApps which looked great but users would have to open about 7-8 different published apps every time they login. Instead I want a standard remote desktop server but I cant work out how to do it. A few questions…
- Am I right in thinking a session is remote desktop based as standard and if I publish a remote app it then disabled remote desktop?
- Do I need to install the RD gateway on the RDS server or can I use the RWW RDP Gateway on the SBS2011 server?
- Currently they are using XP based roaming profiles which means new V2 profiles will be created. Is there any way to force RDS to use XP based profiles?
Thanks in advance
