installing Remote desktop, virtual machine based desktop deployment, on a virtual machine
I am installing Remote desktop, virtual machine based desktop deployment, on a virtual machine (Hyper-V server 2012 running on a host server 2012). I am getting an error msg “to proceed the server most have hardware-assisted virtualization”. Based on what I understand from this exchangethe role needs to be installed on the host. [Session based desktop deployment, could be installed on the VM].
Is this correct?
If yes, do I need to join the host to the domain?
I know in server 2008 is was not recommended to join the host to the domain, does this say that Microsoft feels comfortable joining the host to domain in the new version?
My impression was keeping the host for hosting only is the best practice, am I wrong with this assumption?

In your bios you need to enable VT. This setting location may reside is different area of each Bios.
What Bios version are you running as well as what ill are all the specs on your server/Servers.
This will also dictate whether you can run the server as a Hypervisor.

Thank you all.
What I learned from you, the ideal way is
1. Installing the DVI on the host.
2. The host needs to be joined to the domain,
3. The host should be the DC.
In my case scenario that the DC is on a VM I have no option other then move the DC to the host before installing the DVI.

you shouldn't be running VDI on that server anyways. Mixing a VDI host with other server workloads is not a good ideathis concern is only if the VDI is on a VM and not applicable when it’s on the host (having the VDI and DC running both on the host). Correct?

I was coming from a perspective that one physical server is enough (I am running in a small environment)
1- the VDI needs to be on the host 2- configure this in a workgroup, is downright ugly. Equals: the host needs to be joined to the domain
What was discouraged was running your only DC as a VM on a domain-joined hosted. Equals; the host should be the DC.

until windows 10 v12274/Server 2016TP4 Hyper-V you can't have virtual machines of a virtual machine. Even so there are several restrictions and procedures you have to follow to set it up.

I have a small office with the server at one location, the bookkeeping department in another location, and the secretarial department in a different location.
I want them to share resources applications and keep files on a share location. I prefer them having everything on the server because of licenses, security, support and local equipment.
Initially I thought from using remote desktop Role based or feature based installation. after introduction of the new remote app with session based deployment feature I decided to go for it, I realized that intuit only the enterprise version of QuickBooks is supported in such environment (because QuickBooks needs to pointed to a file by each user manually at the first time login), therefore I again change to the direction of Virtual machine based desktop deployment.
After learning from you what it involves seams I'll return to my initial thought.

you can use session based but probably not remote-app unless the user already has a profile on the server. Not being able to use remote app isn't much of a hindrance as session based still exists.
ASKER
With Session based, a selection between App or Virtual machine based must be chosen, and none of them I can see working for me.
I don’t see how a existing user profile will help.

The enterprise version of QuickBooks is cheaper than the licensing for even a couple of VDI client OSes. I'd strongly recommend going a with RDSH and buying QB enterprise instead of RDVH.,

Thank you for your help and advice
as written per that article, it is not possible to deploy "virtual machine based desktop deployment" in VM. It can be done only on physical machine.
Yes, that is correct.
