  4. Introducing Remote Desktop Services

  5. Benefits - Remote Desktop Services • Install and maintain applications once in the datacenter, not on every desktop • Enable flexible work scenarios such as hot-desking and work from home • Deploy applications to devices that can’t run them natively, or that require hardware upgrades to run them Accelerate Desktop and Application Deployment • Keep data safe in the datacenter to help eliminate the risk of laptop data theft • Help simplify the burden of regulatory compliance with centralized tracking Help Secure Data and Applications • Quickly connect remote workers with the critical applications they need from a Web page • Provide users with secure access to remote applications from outside the corporate network (without using VPN infrastructure) Increase Remote Worker Efficiency

  10. Personal / Pooled Virtual Desktops • Personal Virtual Desktops • One OS image per user • Administrator access, desktop customizable • User state typically part of the image Personal Virtual Desktops • Personal Virtual Desktops • Shared OS images, identically configured • No administrator access • User state temporary )discarded at session end) Pooled Virtual Desktops

  11. RDS Roles Explained

  12. Key New Features in RDS Full-Fidelity User Experience Remote Application Access • RDS & VDI – An Integrated Solution • Hyper-V™ support for virtual desktops RemoteApp & Desktop Connection True multiple monitor support Basic inbox connection broker RemoteApp & Desktop Web Access Multimedia support & bidirectional audio Single discovery and publishing infrastructure RD Gateway security improvements Enhanced bitmap acceleration for 3D and rich media content Platform & Management New API, Connection Broker Extensibility,Windows PowerShell™ Support, Best Practices Analyzer

  13. RemoteApp Overview Make programs available via RD Web Access or RemoteApp & Desktop Connection (Windows 7) Create MSI or RDP files Applications launched from Web Page, RDP files or MSI shortcuts Programs look like they are running locally NEW in R2: Per-user RemoteApp filtering RD Client RD Session Host / RD Virtualization Host

  14. RemoteApp Application Aggregation • Each RemoteApp server can publish different apps • Based on load, requirements or other criteria • Publishing server (part of RD Connection Broker) presents unified view • Publishing server delivers appropriate RDP settings to client to connect to correct server • RDP settings can also include RD Gateway settings RD Connection Broker RD Session Hosts RD Client Publishing Server

  15. RD Connection Broker User - Personal VM assignment RDVH (Hyper-V) AD VHD VHD Pooled VMs Assignment RDV Agent VHD VHD Retrieve List of Remote apps / sessions RemoteApp Session Desktop RD Connection Broker RDSH RD Web Access RD Gateway RDP over RCP / HTTPS HTTPS Win7: RemoteApp & Desktop Connections RD Client MSTSC XP / Vista: IE

  16. RD Web AccessRemoteApp & Desktop Connection RD Web Access RD Virtualization Host RD Connection Broker RD Redirector RemoteApp & Desktop Connection RD Session Hosts RD Client

  17. RD Gateway – New Features • Silent session re-authentication • Secure device redirection • Idle & session timeout • Pluggable authentication • Consent signing RD Virtualization Host RD Session Host RD Web Access User browses to RD Web Access RDP over HTTP/S established to RD Gateway RDP 3389 to host User initiates HTTP/S connection to RD Gateway RD Client RD Gateway

  18. RDS User Experience Enhancements • Multiple Monitor Support • Enhanced Audio Support • Windows Media Redirection • Windows Aero Glass Support • Enhanced Bitmap Acceleration

  19. True Multi-Monitor Support • Support for multiple screens and resolutions • Support for up to 16 monitors • Multi-monitor support fully configurable by administrator All operations supported locally work remotely

  20. Audio Enhancements • Audio input and recording • Streams microphone input from the user’s machine to the Remote Desktop. Enables VoIP and voice recognition applications over RDS. • Improved Audio / Video synchronization • Provides an experience closer to using an physical desktop RD Session Host / RD Virtualization Host

  21. Windows Media Redirection • Windows Media Redirection • Video bit stream sent to client for decompression • Nearly no CPU usage on server • Video codec must exist on client device • Windows Media by default • Full fidelity, bandwidth and latency permitting RD Session Host/ RD Virtualization Host

  22. Windows Aero Glass Support • Windows Aero Glass Support • Provides the ability to use the Windows Aero® Glass experience with session-based remote desktops. Supported in RDS and latest RDC clients. RD Session Host

  23. Enhanced Bitmap Acceleration • 3D and Rich Media Experience • Renders 3D and portable graphics stacks such as Silverlight and Flash on the server and transfers as a bitmap to clients. • Microsoft DirectX 9,10,11 • DirectX 9,10,11 is rendered on the host and sent to the client as a bitmap (requires GPU on host) RD Session Host / RD Virtualization Host GPU

  24. RD Easy Print Overview Historical Issues Solution TS Easy Print No Match Close Match Bad Match ? 

  25. RDP Performance Enhancements • Improved Bulk Compression: Applied to all data, including graphics • Four choices controlled by server group policy: • Optimized to use less memory • Balanced use of memory and bandwidth • Default: Optimized to use less bandwidth • Disable bulk compression Min. 20% Gain!

  26. Better Together Windows 7 and RDS RD Web Access • RemoteApp & Desktop Connections • Language Bar Redirection • DWM Remoting Excel.rdp Word.rdp Virtual Desktop.rdp

  27. RD Licensing • RD Licensing Provides Centralized Administration for RDS-CALs • New: Manage RDS-CAL Wizard • Migrate RDS-CALs between license servers • Rebuild RD Licensing database • New: Service Connection Point Registration RDSH / RDVH 2 1 If an appropriate RDS CAL is available, the RDS CAL is issued to the client. The client can connect to the RDSH / RDVH server. The RD server requests an RDS-CAL froman RD licensing server on behalf of the client. The RD server determines if an RDS client access license (RDS-CAL) is needed. 2 1 A client connects to a Remote Desktop server.

  28. RDSH Performance Enhancement • Fairly distributes CPU cycles across sessions • Processor resources are shared across CPUs • Each session assigned a CPU quota

  29. RDSH Management Enhancements • Tighter Integration of RDS Services into Server Manager • Streamlined administrative access to RDS features. • Enhanced Command-Line Management with Windows PowerShell • Augments graphical tools, provides easy methods to automate repetitive tasks. • Roaming User Profile Cache Management • Manage aggregate user profile size via Group Policy. • MSI Compatibility Improvements • MSI queuing to prevent application installation errors. Easier to install applications on a Remote Desktop Session Host Server. • Platform Investments • Multiple levels of extensibility for custom partner solutions for Remote Desktop Services and VDI-based solutions
