Hi,
I've searched the forums, the TechNet library, google, bing, without success. Please can someone clarify the following for me:
I'm looking for a way to configure the RDP session host settings (redirection restrictions, limit color depth, etc.) for a stand-alone (non-domain-member/workgroup machine) server 2012 in "Admin Mode". Pretty much the same you could do in Windows 2008 (R2) using the Host Configuration snap-in.
I understand the host configuration snap-in is gone in 2012 (for whatever reason?!) and installing the RDS Session Host role requires me to make the machine member of a domain to configure its settings using the server manager (for whatever reason?!). I'm also not entirely sure if I need a CAL to run an RDS Session Host on a windows server but at least it seems to change some settings using gpedit.msc in Computer\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\... (strangely not all settings seem to work).
The ultimate question: is there a way to tweak those things on a stand-alone server 2012 running admin mode only? If so, how?
Thanks,
Stefan
