Module 13: Desktop Virtualization Using Remote Desktop Services Course 10215A
Provide an overview about how RemoteApp and Desktop Connection integrate with Windows® 7 clients. Explain how the published RemoteApp applications, to which we subscribe through feeds, are available on the Start menu. Explain that RemoteApp and Remote Desktops are available only on Window 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. Clients using older versions can access the same applications through RD Web Access or shortcuts, but they will not be integrated on the Start menu. Explain the benefits of RemoteApp and Remote Desktops, and how you can configure them. Question : When would you use RDS Web Access to access RemoteApp applications, instead of RemoteApp and Desktop Connection? Answer : RemoteApp and Desktop Connection requires Windows 7 as a client. If your client is running an earlier version of Windows operating system, you cannot use RemoteApp and Desktop Connection, but you can still access the RDS Web portal and run RemoteApps from there. The RD Connection Broker ensures that the same RemoteApps are available through both interfaces.

Introduce the lesson content. Explain and discuss the Remote Desktop Connection Virtualization Host. Module 13: Desktop Virtualization Using Remote Desktop Services Course 10215A
Introduce the VDI concept. Compare VDI with an environment where each user has an operating system installed locally. Mention the benefits of VDI, especially with all RDP improvements in Windows Server 2008 R2. Users can connect from any device and always access the same desktop. Remind students that everything that is required for the VDI implementation, such as RD Session Host, RD Connection Broker, RD Virtualization Host, and Hyper-V, is part of Windows Server 2008 R2. Concentrate on the high-level VDI overview, but do not go into too much detail. Mention related role services, and explain that more detailed information will be provided in later topics. Question : Which environments can benefit from implementing VDI? Answer : Answers will vary, because some students may have already implemented the VDI solution and others may have only heard of it. Environments that can benefit the most from VDI are those with very strict policies for user desktops, such as financial institutions where users are not allowed to customize the environment to work with confidential data that must not be stored locally. Module 13: Desktop Virtualization Using Remote Desktop Services Course 10215A
Discuss the main steps in connecting to a virtual desktop in VDI. Explain that the steps for connecting to personal virtual desktops and virtual desktop pools are very similar. Explain the concept, and then point out the differences in both approaches. Also point out that in a personal virtual desktop scenario, a user is assigned a personal virtual desktop by using Active Directory® Users and Computers, while the similar setting is not required if the user connects to a virtual desktop pool. Course 10159A Module 6: Configuring Remote Desktop Services and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure in Windows Server 2008 R2
Discuss the requirements for virtual machines that will be used as virtual desktops. Mention that a client operating system must be used for these virtual machines, and they must be Active Directory domain members. After installing the operating system, you need to perform some additional configuration tasks. You should consider Virtual Enterprise Centralized Desktop (VECD) licensing when performing additional tasks. In the next topic, you will show how VDI and virtual desktops are configured, and students will perform similar steps in the lab at this module’s end.

Use the questions on the slide to guide the debriefing after students have completed the lab exercises. Question 1 : How will Contoso benefit from deploying Remote Desktop Services ? Answer: Contoso will benefit by reducing the number of servers to manage, by decreasing the number of service calls to answer, and by providing centralized and easy-to-manage deployed applications. Question 2: How will you restrict the user from viewing the icon for the RemoteApp program in RD Web Access? Answer: You need to use the User Assignment feature of Remote Desktop Services to restrict the user from viewing the icon for the RemoteApp program. Module 13: Desktop Virtualization Using Remote Desktop Services Course 10215A
Review Questions 1. Users in your organization need access to an application that must not be installed locally on the client computers. How can you provide them access to the application? Answer : You can install the application on an RDS server, and then publish it as a RemoteApp. Users can access the application through RD Web Access. You also can add a shortcut to the RemoteApp on user computers or integrate it with their Start menu, if they have Windows 7 installed. 2. Can users access published RemoteApps from the Internet or from outside the internal network? Answer : Yes, they can. Users can establish a virtual private network (VPN) connection or they can use DirectAccess, if they are Windows 7 users and if their infrastructure is configured for DirectAccess. You also can implement RD Gateway, which will enable them to securely access RDS over a public network. 3. How is the use of RemoteApp and Desktop Connection different from simply accessing RemoteApp from RD Web Access? Answer : RemoteApp and Desktop Connection will integrate published RemoteApps and Desktop Connections with the Start menu of Windows 7 computers. When using RD Web Access, you must open the Web page, and then run RemoteApps from there. 4. You installed RDS in a testing environment. After 120 days, you are no longer able to connect to the RDS server. What is the most probable reason for this? Answer : You have a 120-day grace period in which to install RD Licensing, after installing the RDS Session Host. You probably did not install the RD Licensing role service in the testing environment, and when the grace period expired, you would no longer be able to connect to the RDS Session Host server.
