Remote Desktop Services (2012) with SBS 2011

Here is the situation.

We have a SBS 2011, I have setup another server Windows Server 2012 with Remote Desktop Services running. The Session Based Desktop works well. My question is what do I use to manage the remote sessions? The Windows 2012 server or the SBS? In the AD it has many option for Remote sessions.

Thanks!!

Which ever server is your main domain controller.
I assume that is the SBS server?

It has a built in Routing and Remote Access Server.
You will need to have a valid SSL certificate installed in SBS console to access this ability
outside of the network.

Well maybe I did not explain myself correctly. What I need SBS does not have. I put in the new server for "Session Based Desktop" not remote controlling an existing machine. This you cannot do with SBS. Yes SBS is the domain controller.

My question mainly surrounds the differences between Server 2008 R2 and Server 2012 Remote desktop services. Would I use the controls in the SBS 2011 (aka Windows Server 2008 R2 talking about OS here) or use the controls in the Windows 2012?

Hi,
I'm really doon't understand your question.
What you want to control or manage ? What are your business baselines that you want to control ?

I want to customize the user Experience. Have a uniform desktop and start screen. To be able to customize the Start Screen and of possible the desktop. There are a lot of articles for Windows 2008 R2 but 2012 is very different. I also wanted to manage the sessions but I already figured that part out.
