Remote Desktop Services

 

Remote Desktop Services, formerly Terminal Services, is a server role in Windows Server that provides technologies that enable users to access session-based desktops, virtual machine-based desktops, or applications in the data center from both within a corporate network and from the Internet. Remote Desktop Services enables a rich-fidelity desktop or application experience, and helps to securely connect remote users from managed or unmanaged devices.
 

新功能:

Session Shadowing

 

Installation

[1] Select Quick Start and click next

[2] Select Session-based desktop deployment and click next

[3] Add TS Licensing

Open Server Manager and go to "Remote Desktop Services" on the left menu.

If you plan to install the licensing services locally on this server click the RD Licensing icon in the "deployment overview" window.

Click "RD Licensing"

Select your licensing type, I am using Per User

type in the name of your licensing server and hit add. Your licensing server will be contacted, verified and added to the list.

Click OK

Go to System >> Remote Settings >> Select Users and add the Group or Users who will be allowed to connect to this server

Configuring the Licensing Mode

- Per Device

- Per User

1 ) In deployment Overview page, select on Tasks and click ‘Edit Deployment Properties’

2 ) In the ‘Deployment properties’ applet, click on the ‘RD Licensing’ page.

RDS Per User CAL

* Expires On "+ two month"

"greyed out!"

# stop RD Licensing service

services.msc -> stop "Remote Desktop Licensing service"

# delete all the files

C:\Windows\System32\LServer

# start RD Licensing service

Remark 1

An RDS Per User CAL gives one user the right to access an RD Session Host server from an unlimited number of client computers or devices.

RDS Per User CALs are not enforced by RD Licensing. As a result, client connections can occur regardless of the number of RDS Per User CALs installed on the license server.

Remark 2

all the licenses are now gone from RD License Manager.  Do not worry about this as they will be automatically recreated as your users sign in.

Remark 3(This step is not always required):

client delete "License"

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSLicensing

Install SQL 2012

 

Error: 'Could not find database engine startup handle'

Following can be the reason behind the error message.

The account which user selected on Server Configuration page window ( during installation)  is somehow not able to bring SQL Server database engine services online. Either is lacks privilege or it is corrupted. During installation of database engine services SQL Server tries to bring online database services as a internal process but due to startup account either corrupt or not having appropriate privileges it fails to do so and ultimately installation fails.

select startup account for Database Engine services as 'NT Authority\SYSTEM' which is also called as Local System account.
