Wasn't it some sort of screw-up as to the actual shadowing with multiple-monitor setups? I can recall finding out that Citrix shadowing stopped working on 2008 R2 if either shadower or shadowee had multiple monitors, and they blamed something in RDS for this. Don't know what exactly but maybe MS pulled it out because of this sort of fault. Sure Web or others may know better though

I'd like to think it was some sensible reason due to an architecture issue, but more likely it's a checkbox missed along the way. "Oops we forgot that feature.

Thanks Webster From: James Hill [mailto:falc...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2013 3:29 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Remote Desktop Server (Formerly known as Terminal Server) I've never been a fan of roaming profiles and prefer to use just folder redirection. With 2008 and above you have some new features that you may like to use. In particular Remote Desktop Gateway and RemoteApp. It all depends on what the current TS is being used for. If it's just for a particular app then you may look at just publishing Remoteapp's rather than a full session. Being 2008 (with increased security) Point and Print Restrictions is a common GP that needs to be configured. As Webster said, consider 2012 as well. The only downside is that if you regularly remote control/shadow desktops you will be disappointed to find that feature has been removed. So you'll have to use Remote Assistance or something else if you need that functionality. James. From: Kelli Sterley [mailto:kjsterley.li...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, 22 February 2013 3:32 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Remote Desktop Server (Formerly known as Terminal Server) I currently have a 2003 Terminal Server which is getting ready to be replaced with the 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Server. Currently we are using roaming profiles and redirecting some user folders. Does anyone use roaming profiles anymore? Why or why not? I am also in the process of editing a group policy for both the server and users. Are there any policies I should add for sure .. Anyone willing to share their GP's with me? Also, I have been searching the internet for some good "best practices" for the new setup but have found little with regards to 2008. I want it set up as simple as possible so any ideas would be great.
