Windows Multipoint Server 2012 RemoteFX issue

[disk]

I have setup Hyper-V 2012 R2 onto a Dell R720 server. I downloaded the trial of Multipoint Server 2012 to install as a VM. The host has a VDI-ready GPU (AMD FirePro S7000) that is configured and ready for use. When I went into settings for the Multipoint VM and added the RemoteFX adapter it looked like it was happy, however, once I finished installing everything, I went into Device Manager and noticed that it only had the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter. There was an Unknown Device that I assume was the RemoteFX adapter. Even after updating the Integration Services and running Windows Update, I could not get it recognized.

 

I then gave up and decided to test this on another server running Hyper-V 2012 thinking that, perhaps, R2 was the problem since MP Server is only 2012 and was not upgraded to R2 status. I was also not able to get this working.

 

Has anyone managed to get the RemoteFX adapter showing on a Hyper-V hosted Multipoint 2012 Server? Also, while we are discussing Multipoint Server...I have read that there is a 20 concurrent connection maximum per server instance. Is this a hard limit or can it be overridden through a registry setting? Also, I know that Multipoint is being included in the upcoming Windows Server version, perhaps that will remove the limitation and allow us to scale based on hardware/acceptable performance?

you need to ensure your graphics adapter has drivers for server 2012 in the multipoint instance. As far as I know, it will have nothing to do with the Hyper-V instance. I also believe the 20 users is a hard limit however remember reading there was some version capable of more but its been a while. I have one Multipoint 2012 instance and although great, get the impression MS are killing it off as there has been no 8.1 instance I am aware of.
