The R610 I just did our setup on gives 4GB RAM for the Gateway / Web Access, 4GB RAM for the broker and 48GB for the Session Host [emoji14] Trying to keep the cost down by using Windows Server Standard licensing rather than Datacenter so 3 VMs to a host seems to be the sweet spot due to the way the new core licensing works (or so it seems)

Axel Client or maybe Intel Compute Stick if space is tight?

RDCB does work on Core, that's the only one that's left (Licensing on there too and seems OK so far)

Failing that a SharePoint documents library would give you previous versions as well if you want to keep it all within O365 We use a SharePoint site for Change Management logging so any changes I make to scripts etc. get logged there as they occur.

Yup I believe that script works on 2012 R2 as well

@ITGURU check out a script called RDPublishedName that should sort it. Just done the same on my RDS setup, see the latest post on my blog for details... https://gshaw0.wordpress.com/2017/02/02/server-2016-rds-via-azure-ad-application-proxy-end-to-end-guide/

@Arthur you 100% sure this is the server licenses and the CALs? There used to be a separate System Center Datacenter license last time I needed it, has something changed? We already buy 10 DC licenses for our VM hosts so if that means I've already got SCCM & co for free I'll definitely be making use of them, similarly SCEP as Sophos is a pain Ahhh just looked up what CIS is, what's the price difference like compared to just Server Datacenter on its own?

It's do-able via GPP... https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askpfeplat/2013/06/09/how-to-enable-user-based-controlenforcement-of-bitlocker-on-removable-data-drives/ Edit: just noticed the OP's link was the same It does work here and gives access denied on write in our tests, you sure you put all the keys on?

Yeah mine will go out through Azure AD Application Proxy for the same reason

Haha that'll teach me for thinking Microsoft would've followed their own recommendations! Did actually manage to get the RD Web Access to install on Core via Powershell but it won't enable due to an IIS management component (seriously MS?) Was hoping to go the same way as my CentOS VMs where it's nice and clean, not quite there yet MS... maybe in Server 2020 if they haven't forced us all into Azure by then @Tefters @FN-GM out of interest how have you licensed your RDS setup? Was hoping the User CALs would be based on concurrent users but seemingly not and it's based on "unique humans". Per device seems a bit more flexible but still likely to need more CALs than people connecting.

So just gone to install this today and trying to go for a nice tight, secure install with Server Core... ...deployment failed after barely trying on the last step, after some research it seems you can't run RD Web Access or RD Gateway on Core?! So we can have a nice low-attack-surface server for web-facing services... apart from when trying to deploy the web-facing parts of RDS... the mind boggles

If only... we can all dream eh...

Micro Focus ZENWorks for our legacy image, MDT built from the base WIM for Windows 10 going forward

Why is Gordon Freeman in a painting

That's how we've been doing it with MDT now, with the rate MS keep updating the ISO, plus the fact updates are Cumulative means it's easier to swap components out in a Task Sequence than go through a recapture process. Certainly with Windows 10 that's been the case as we've gone from 1511 to 1607. The exception may be if you have loads of legacy software you can't package neatly for silent install but hopefully the majority of us are past that place now

Think I have one or two at home if you're interested?

MS need to sort the EMS licensing out first and bring it in line with the other EES products licensed via FTE count, not per user.

Will be interesting to see how the logon prompts behave when I publish RD via Azure AD Application Proxy. Hoping the delegated Kerberos with will make it SSO but we shall see. Nice find on the UPN trick, remember that double logon driving me nuts on the 2008 version as well.

May put that on ours too. Need to check what Office 365 Message Encryption adds to its subject lines to make sure we don't accidentally block those though.

- Microsoft stand for updates on Office 365, particularly next-generation SharePoint and MS Classroom - Google & co. for Android \ Chromebook mix devices - Smoothwall updates No pizza for me this year as I now have to eat gluten free from here on

Was trying to do something similar the other week, got the capture card working but the software is Windows 98 vintage so had to find something else. Tried VLC and numerous others but couldn't get a signal on channel 36

Haha we have exam boards whose software entirely depends on Flash, even worse we've had to downgrade the version to get exams to run [emoji58]

Don't know why MS can't implement the Azure AD licensing method into O365. In Azure you just license a group and any new users get the license automatically.

Indeed, although on servers I tend to stick to be a bit more by-the-book so it stays as a supported config. No real difference between 2012 R2 and 2016 for the basic host role so not too worried about using the older version there Btw quick straw poll... on a Hyper-V host running Core... AV or no AV?

@Tefters was just going by the compatibility matrix that shows it's not Qualified for 2016 - that may only mean it doesn't work with OpenManage but was erring on the side of caution http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/extras/m/white_papers/20438149/download.aspx Also Certified list here... http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/b/techcenter/archive/2016/11/10/dell-poweredge-servers-certified-for-windows-server-2016
