This is for all you TS gurus who have deployed RDS clusters using hyper-v.<br />
<br />
I am going to build a 2 node RD cluster. Just looking for some best practices and tips.<br />
<br />
I was thinking of actually building 3 Vms.<br />
<br />
1- RDSH<br />
2- RDSH2<br />
3- RD Connection Broker / Licensing.<br />
<br />
