Thanks! &nbsp;When I did this, it allows my linux users to use remote desktop to actually remote into my server. &nbsp;Is there a way to make it look like windows 7 or windows 8, or is that the Virtual machine look? &nbsp;I chose session based.<br />
<br />
Thanks,

Hello,<br />
<br />
I'd like to install remote desktop services on my server 2008R2 or 2012 VM and do not know how to do it. &nbsp;I must admit that the last time I deal with this is when I was doing terminal server almost 10 years ago. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I've installed the server OS on the VM, the connection broker, licensing server and session host but do not know what my next steps would be. &nbsp;I've also added the machine to my test domain. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
My goal here is to set this up so my 8 linux developers can remote in and use office 2013 products. &nbsp;Sounds fairly simple, but I'm stuck.<br />
<br />
Their machines are to slow to use VM, thus is the solution I'm going with.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your help!
