I am literally in the middle of the same deployment coming from Citrix 4.5 . This completely different from the old TSE days.
If I can make a suggestion that was made to me about the self-signed cert, get a wildcard one from a trusted CA instead. And make it to a domain that resolves on the internet. My understanding is that it will make life much easier as you publish your apps, the RDWeb and having users outside trying to traverse the different machines without having to import certs. And for Windows 7/8 machines, you can add the url to the RemoteAppAndDesktopConnections cpl and the rdp files will populate for your users (configurable via GPO). The only thing missing is the (near) seamless compatibility across platforms like Citrix was. ---------------------------------- Joe Louis -----Original Message----- From: Michael Leone [mailto:oozerd...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 2:40 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Advice on setting up a Win2012 RDS environment - Progress! SO I am making progress! I had already installed the RDS as a role, but that didn't configure the deployment. So I went to Server Manager, clicked on RDS, and clicked on Deploy. It then went into what seemed like an install of RDS as a service (which had failed before). This time, however, the deploy step went through without error. I rebooted at the end, and after I logged back in, I was able to install an app (Notepad++), and then I was able to add it to a Quick Session Collection, publish it as a RemoteApp, and I was able to access it remotely. w00t! Definite progress. So now I need to make my own collection, add an app to it. Then investigate how to use a separate web server front end for it (to separate the RDS hosts from the web access). And probably give it our self-signed internal certificate, to stop it complaining about untrusted publishers of the app. So I am definitely further along than I was. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
