In the Host Servers section for the collection right-click the server you want to do maintenance on. You can put a server in maintenance without disrupting functionality. Load balancing a collection makes it possible to do maintenance on your servers without annoying your users.
#WINDOWS 2012 R2 REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES MANAGER FULL#
In this example we load balanced a Full Desktop session collection, but the steps to take for doing so is exactly the same for load balancing a RemoteApp program collection. While you’re in this screen, review the other properties of this session collection. You could re-balance this if hardware resources are not the same across all servers in the collection. In this load balancing setup both servers are equally weighted for sessions. To confirm this, and see how we can influence the load balancing properties go back to Server Manager and click Remote Desktop Services, then click the Full Desktop collection.Ĭlick tasks, then select Edit Properties. The Full Desktop collection is now load balanced over 2 Session Hosts. Wait until the server is added to the collection. The Wizard confirms that you selected the server. Select the server and click the add button. Since there’s only the new server in the deployment which has the role but isn’t assigned yet, that’s the only server we see here. Note that the Remove RD Session Host servers option is used to remove one or more servers from a load balanced session collection. Scroll down to Host Servers if this section is not immediately visible.Ĭlick Tasks and click Add RD Session Host Servers. In Server Manager click Remote Desktop Services, and then click the existing collection “Full Desktop”. Let’s do some new stuff with the new session host instead. Of course you could add a new collection using the new session host server, but that’s no different than what I explained in step 2 of this guide collection. Now let’s see what we can do if we have multiple Session Hosts in our deployment.

In Windows 2012(R2) the farm concept is handled by the RD Broker and the RD Session Collections.Ĭlick OK to apply the settings to the resource group and click Close to close the group manager. The Note you see here refers to the Remote Desktop Session Host server farm principle in case you also publish Windows 2008(R2) Remote Desktop deployments. Type the name of the new server and click Add. Make sure the Resource group is selected and click Properties. On the RD Gateway server, open the RD Gateway Manager tool and expand the server node, expand the Polices node and click the Resource Authorization Policies node. If you want Web Access users to be able to log on to this server, you need to add this server to the Resource Group for which we configured a policy on the RD Gateway server in the previous guide. Wait until the RD Session Host role service is deployed and the new RD Session Host server has restarted. Notice here that the only server missing to choose from is ITWRDS04, which is of course because this already is a RD Session Host in the current deployment.Ĭheck Restart the destination server automatically if required. This will not uninstall the RD Session Host role service from the selected server(s), unless you choose to do so in the wizard.Ĭlick the newly added server and click the Add button. Note that the Remove RD Session Host servers option is used to remove one or more Session Host servers from the deployment.

In Overview, right-click RD Session Host and click Add RD Session Host Servers. Now that all servers needed in this deployment scenario are present, click Remote Desktop Services. Log on to the Domain Controller, and in Server Manager right-click the All Servers node and add the new server using the Add Servers command (or select the All Servers node, click Manage and click Add Servers). Installing the Remote Desktop Services Roles This guide will not focus on adding a member server to the domain.Īnd again some basic knowledge is assumed in this guide.

Windows Server 2012 R2 ISO (evaluation can be downloaded here: ) If you’re building along and want to continue doing so for the next parts in this complete series, make snapshots of the servers before adding this extra server. I used the same specs as in step 2 in this guide for the member servers, and used IPv4 192.168.66.25/24 and made it a member server of the domain. In this step by step guide we’ll be adding an extra RD Session Host server:
