Remote Desktop Web Access : This role provides a web portal to access the RDS environment.Also allows disconnected users to reconnect to their existing sessions without starting a new one. Remote Desktop Connection Broker : This role handles user sessions by load balancing among the RD Session Host servers.

Remote Desktop Session Host : Applications are installed and published from the Session Host servers.There are three core roles to setup a RDS environment and are as follows: Setup RD Gateway Role on Windows Server 2012 R2.Setup RD Licensing Role on Windows Server 2012 R2.Setup Remote Desktop Services in Windows Server 2012 R2.In this post I will document the implementation of RDS in my home lab using an ‘all-in-one’ configuration. Microsoft RDS is the new expanded and renamed Microsoft Terminal Services. Microsoft Remote Desktop Services allows users to access centralized applications and workstations in the data center remotely.
