Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services may be installed from the Server Manager tool. In this chapter the configuration of the basic Remote Desktop Services role and installing applications for use by Remote Desktop Services users will be covered. There are a number of different Remote Desktop Services configuration options, many of which will be covered in subsequent chapters.
With remote desktop services, for example, if an application needs to be upgraded it only needs to be upgraded on the host server, not on every desktop in the enterprise. This has a number of advantages in terms of ensuring that all users have the same version of a particular application and also in terms of reducing administrative overheads. This allows one or more Windows Server 2008 R2 systems (referred to as Remote Desktop Session Hosts) to provide the applications and desktops for any number of desktop systems. In effect, while the applications and desktops appear to be running on the local machine they are actually running in virtual sessions on the remote server with only the display graphics and keyboard and mouse information passing between the two systems. Remote Desktop Services (formerly known as Terminal Services and often abbreviated to RD Services) allow either individual applications or entire desktop sessions to be run on remote server systems, but displayed and interacted with on local client systems.
