In todays IT learning article, we are going to take a look at installing Terminal Services, otherwise known as Remote Desktop Services, on a Server 2. R2 machine. Note this is part of our ongoing series teaching IT administration basics, and might not apply to everybody. What is Terminal Services Remote Desktop ServicesStarting with Server 2. R2, Terminal Services has been renamed to Remote Desktop Services. RDS, as it is abbreviated, allows you to have a powerful server that all your users connect to using the Remote Desktop Protocol RDP. You can think of it as a computer that lots of people remote desktop into at the same time, however they all have there own user session and desktop, and are completely unaware of each other. All you applications are installed once and available for any user to run. The user can remote into the server using the Remote Desktop Connection Manager included in Windows or more often than not can connect from thin clients, in fact they can connect from anything that implements the Remote Desktop Protocol. If you are looking to save money and already have old machines, you should look at the recently launched OS from Microsoft called Windows Thin PC, which essentially turns your machines into thin clients. Things to Watch Out For Application Licensing Not any application can be installed on a Remote Desktop Server. A prime example is Office 2. If you want to install Office on a RDS Server you will need the Volume License version, or you wont be able to install it. Client Access Licenses Connecting to a RDS Server also requires licenses in the form of Per User or Per Device Client Access Licenses, this is what allows more than a single user to remote into the server. Although you will still need to purchase licenses, buying CALs is way cheaper than buying everyone a new Windows 7 license. Note The applications you wish to run on the Remote Desktop Server should not yet be installed, they should only be installed once you have installed the Remote Desktop Session Host Role. Installing Remote Desktop Services. Open the Server Manager and right click on roles, select Add Roles from the context menu. Click next on the Before You Being page to bring up a list of Roles that can be installed, select Remote Desktop Services and click next. On the Introduction To Remote Desktop Services page click next, this will bring you to the Role Services page, select the Remote Desktop Session Host as well as the Remote Desktop Licensing Service and then click next. When you get to the application compatibility page it tells you that you should install the Session Host Role before you install your applications, just click next as we have not yet installed our applications. You are then asked if you want to require NLA, this will only allow Windows clients to connect to the Remote Desktop Session Host Server, in addition they must be running a Remote Desktop Client that support Network Level Authentication. I will go ahead and require NLA and then click next. Now you have to choose a licensing method, most of you guys wont have Remote Desktop Client Access Licenses, so you can leave your option at Configure Later this will give you unlimited access to the Remote Desktop Server for 4 Months 1. Days. However, if you do have licenses here is some information help you make your choice Licensing Modes. The licenses you purchased can be used either as Per User or Per Device. It is purely up to you, however if you already have a RDS Licensing Server you will have to choose the same option you chose when importing the licenses originally. RDS Per User CAL   This means that every user that connects to the RDS Server must have a license. The user is assigned the license rather than the devices that heshe connects to the server from. This mode is a good choice if your users want to connect from a lot of different computers or devices i. Pad, Home PC, Laptop, Phone etcRDS Per Device CAL If your users share a common workstation this is the mode for you, the license is given to the device rather than the users, this way many people can connect from a single device. However, if they try to connect from a different device they will not be able to since their user account doesnt have a license. I will leave mine at configure later and click next. Now you should specify who can connect to the Remote Desktop Server, I will just add my user account Windows Geek, then click next. You are now given the option of making the RDS Server look and act more like Windows 7, this is to avoid users getting confused when they see the classic theme. I will enable the all the settings, it requires more bandwidth though, so take your network traffic into account before going click happy and selecting everything. Once you have made your choice click next. Since we are running Server 2. R2, we dont need to specify a Discovery Scope so just click next again. Finally you can click on install. Leather Sofa Starting To Crack The Whip there. Once installation is complete, reboot your server, when you log in the configuration will complete. Thats all there is to installing a Remote Desktop Server. Activation. If you need to install your licenses you can do it through the RD Licensing Manager. You will need to activate the Server first though. I wont go through this, as it is self explanatory. Once you have installed you Licenses you will need to specify a license server for the RDS Session Host to use, to do this, open the RDS Session Host Configuration MMCWhen the console opens double click on the Remote Desktop license servers link. Now you can specify your licensing mode and then hit the add button to specify a licensing server. As I said before, you can skip this activation section and use Remote Desktop Services for 1. Days before you need to purchase a CAL. Once you have done this you will need to install your applications. However you cant just install them in any fashion you want, there is actually a special method for installing applications on a Remote Desktop Server.
