Does Remote Desktop Services (in 2008 R2) plug and play on an SBS 2003 network?

From: Milhouse Van Houten on 9 May 2010 21:48 We have SBS 2003 R2 and would like to put up a terminal server (on a separate box, of course). Must the old 2003 version be used, or can R2 be used? I'd very much like to use R2, particularly since increasingly the clients are Win7, but not if it wreaks havoc on the network due to an SBS conflict of some kind. Thanks.
From: Charlie Russel - MVP on 10 May 2010 11:21 Works fine. The same steps are used as for a Server 2003 TS, except that the RD License server MUST be at least Server 2008 SP2 or later. So your best bet is to simply run it locally on the Server 2008 R2 server. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/russel "Milhouse Van Houten" <btvs(a)myrealbox.com> wrote in message news:ODw$cL%237KHA.5476(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > We have SBS 2003 R2 and would like to put up a terminal server (on a > separate box, of course).

From: Milhouse Van Houten on 10 May 2010 17:52 For reference, I think you mean these steps: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc747395(WS.10).aspx Though it looks like a heaping helping of the SBS2008 instructions can be leveraged too: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd262139(WS.10).aspx Correct me if I'm wrong, but Standard looks adequate, particularly since I think that's what's included with SBS2008 Premium for its separate server: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/r2-compare-roles.aspx BTW, do you know if this ties into RWW? We'd mostly or entirely use the RemoteApp method, making RWW moot for TS purposes, but I'm curious. I know it does if you're using old TS, at least. I ask because there was this comment at the end of this article: "OK, so what if you add a member server and it is running Remote Desktop Services. It currently does not show up in Remote Web Workplace. Is there something that needs to be done in order to make this appear?" http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc708131(WS.10).aspx Thanks!

From: Charlie Russel - MVP on 10 May 2010 18:58 What do you mean by "ties into RWW"? If you mean, does it show as an "application server", yes, once you've set things up correctly. And yes, Standard is perfectly adequate, assuming you can get by with a mere 32 GB of RAM on it. If you have more users than that, you're probably not running SBS. ;) -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/russel "Milhouse Van Houten" <btvs(a)myrealbox.com> wrote in message news:euU4nsI8KHA.5464(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > For reference, I think you mean these steps: > http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc747395(WS.10).aspx > > Though it looks like a heaping helping of the SBS2008 instructions can be > leveraged too: > http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd262139(WS.10).aspx > > Correct me if I'm wrong, but Standard looks adequate, particularly since I > think that's what's included with SBS2008 Premium for its separate server: > http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/r2-compare-roles.aspx > > BTW, do you know if this ties into RWW?

Oh, and FWIW - if you're running SBS 2008 instead of 2003, then you can actually put RemoteApps directly on the RWW front page. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/russel "Milhouse Van Houten" <btvs(a)myrealbox.com> wrote in message news:euU4nsI8KHA.5464(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > For reference, I think you mean these steps: > http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc747395(WS.10).aspx > > Though it looks like a heaping helping of the SBS2008 instructions can be > leveraged too: > http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd262139(WS.10).aspx > > Correct me if I'm wrong, but Standard looks adequate, particularly since I > think that's what's included with SBS2008 Premium for its separate server: > http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/r2-compare-roles.aspx > > BTW, do you know if this ties into RWW?
