RDS on Server 2008 R2 (seperate box to sbs 2011 standard)

Hi all,

I have an sbs 2011 standard server running with besx but my client has requested that an rds to be implemented...instead of purchasing the sbs premium ad on for standard 2011 i am going to install windows 2008 r2 on a seperate standalone box which will become the rds server.

Can someone please gude me on how to set this up....ie what roles need to be installed on the sbs 2011 server and what roles do i need to install on the rds standalone server

The idea is i want each user to have certain apps pushed out to them via RemoteApp so they appear on their desktops and also want them to have web access....i should mention i got it to work internally but would not work externally so i have rebuilt my server 2008 r2 to basics....

I would appreciate if a step by step guide was provided and which steps would be done in order...

thanks...

You will then have to have Terminal Server CALs which are more exspensive than SBS premium CALs.

Having it working external is exactly the same as internal just open up firewall port to point 3389 to the server.

Hope this helps :)

We have purchased all the relevant products including CALS

There are a few roles that need to be installed such as;

Remote Desktop Services
Session Host
Licensing
IIS

What roles need to be installed on what server....does a role need to be installed on the sbs2011 server or is everything done on the server 2008 r2 server...

You can do everything on Windows 2008 Server which would be easier to contain and separate the two.

Hi

Can this also be done using sbs 2003?

Rob Williams

Yes. However I am not sure of the exact requirements.
I would assume the TS Gateway Service would have to be enabled on the RDS server instead of the SBS. Doing so will almost certainly require a second public IP as 443 would be routed to the SBS and not the RDS server.
