Supporting Remote Desktop Services

Supporting Remote Desktop Services involves more than just proper configuration; it also involves supporting end users, installing and maintaining applications, and securing and optimizing Remote Desktop settings, among other server duties.

Using the Role Administration Tools

For the Remote Desktop Services role, a number of different role administration tools can be used to manage the role and its role services. When the role or role service is installed, its corresponding Role Administration Tool is also installed. However, in some cases, an administrator might want to manage a role service using a remote Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 machine. In these cases, using Server Manager, an administrator can install the Remote Server Administration Tools for the Remote Desktop Services role and all of its corresponding role services.
