Remote Desktop Services (RDS) in Windows Server 2012 is Microsoft’s VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) offering. RDS formerly known as Terminal Services (TS) provides session-based virtual desktops, virtual-machine based virtual desktops and applications to end users. To be able to use these features, you must install Remote Desktop Services in Windows Server 2012 or 2012 R2. So, in this post I will show steps to install Remote Desktop Services in Windows Server 2012.

Install Remote Desktop Services in Windows Server 2012
The diagram below shows the scenario for this post. The network consists of one domain controller and one RDS server.
Sep 30, 2017 Computer Configuration → Policies → Admin Templates →Windows Components → Remote Desktop Services → RD Licensing. With this setting you can control which RD Session Host servers are issued RDS CALs by the license server. It must be configured in a GPO that is applied to the license server. 5.3 Remote Desktop Licensing Diagnoser. Jan 11, 2013 RDS license for evaluation on windows server 2012. Question 3 1/11/2013 3:45:59 PM 1/11/2013 5:00:00 PM Discussion on all things Windows Server Remote Desktop.
Log on to RDS server (MBG-RDS01). Open Server Manager. Click Add Roles and Features.
Click Next on Before you begin page. Choose installation type as Remote Desktop Services installation. Click Next.
As you can see below there are two ways of installing RDS services in Server 2012. They are quick or standard. In quick deployment option, three of the required RDS services are installed on single server. The three services are, RD Session Host, RD Connection Broker and RD Web Access. Similarly, the quick installation also creates a collection and publishes some RemoteApp programs. Here, I will install quick deployment option. If you wish to separate each RDS components then you can choose standard deployment option. Choose Quick Start as Deployment Type and click Next.
Deployment Scenario can also be either virtual machine-based or session-based. Here, I will choose session-based. Click Next.
Under Server Selection page, the current server will be automatically added as shown below. Click Next.
Review the installation options. Check, Restart the destination server automatically if required option. Click Deploy.
The installation will now begin. The server will reboot automatically. After the reboot, log back in, you can see the installation has completed successfully. Click Close.
Now, let’s verify the installation. Open Server Manager. Click Remote Desktop Services on the left pane. You can see the RDS deployment Overview as shown below. As we can see, RD Web Access, RD Connection Broker and RD Session Host have been installed. If you want applications or desktop sessions to be accessed from the Internet then you have to install RD Gateway. Similarly, You must install RD Licensing to activate RDS server.
You can also view installed applications. Under Collections, click QuckSessionCollection which is just a collection named created by Quick Deployment installation option. As you can see, calculator, paint and wordpad applications have been published.
To access those applications, open web browser and type URL of RD Web Access server. Type username and password and log on the server as shown below. You can also customize the look of RD Web Access page.
You can view the published applications below. Double-click to open any application. I have double-clicked calculator.
Accept the certificate warning. The application will open as shown below.
So in this way you can install RDS in Windows Server 2012 using Quick Deployment option. You can now install certificates, publish required apps, publish session-based desktops, customize RD Web Access, and so on.

Each user and device that connects to a Remote Desktop Session host needs a client access license (CAL). You use RD Licensing to install, issue, and track RDS CALs.
When a user or a device connects to an RD Session Host server, the RD Session Host server determines if an RDS CAL is needed. The RD Session Host server then requests an RDS CAL from the Remote Desktop license server. If an appropriate RDS CAL is available from a license server, the RDS CAL is issued to the client, and the client is able to connect to the RD Session Host server and from there to the desktop or apps they're trying to use.
There is a licensing grace period of 180 Days during which no license server is required. Once the grace period ends, clients must have a valid RDS CAL issued by a license server before they can log on to an RD Session Host server.
Use the following information to learn about how client access licensing works in Remote Desktop Services and to deploy and manage your licenses:
- License your RDS deployment with client access licenses (CALs)
Understanding the RDS CAL model
There are two types of RDS CALs:
- RDS Per Device CALs
- RDS Per User CALs
The following table outlines the differences between the two types of CALs:
Per Device | Per User |
---|---|
RDS CALs are physically assigned to each device. | RDS CALs are assigned to a user in Active Directory. |
RDS CALs are tracked by the license server. | RDS CALs are tracked by the license server. |
RDS CALs can be tracked regardless of Active Directory membership. | RDS CALs cannot be tracked within a workgroup. |
You can revoke up to 20% of RDS CALs. | You cannot revoke any RDS CALs. |
Temporary RDS CALs are valid for 52–89 days. | Temporary RDS CALs are not available. |
RDS CALs cannot be overallocated. | RDS CALs can be overallocated (in breach of the Remote Desktop licensing agreement). |
When you use the Per Device model, a temporary license is issued the first time a device connects to the RD Session Host. The second time that device connects, as long as the license server is activated and there are available RDS CALs, the license server issues a permanent RDS Per Device CAL.
When you use the Per User model, licensing is not enforced and each user is granted a license to connect to an RD Session Host from any number of devices. The license server issues licenses from the available RDS CAL pool or the Over-Used RDS CAL pool. It's your responsibility to ensure that all of your users have a valid license and zero Over-Used CALs—otherwise, you're in violation of the Remote Desktop Services license terms.
An example of where one would use the Per Device model would be in an environment where there are two or more shifts using the same computers to access the RD Session Host(s). The Per User model would be best for environments where users have their own dedicated Windows device to access the RD Session Host(s).
To ensure you are in compliance with the Remote Desktop Services license terms, track the number of RDS Per User CALs used in your organization and be sure to have enough RDS Per User CALs installed on the license server for all of your users.
You can use the Remote Desktop Licensing Manager to track and generate reports on RDS Per User CALs.
RDS CAL version compatibility
The RDS CAL for your users or devices must be compatible with the version of Windows Server that the user or device is connecting to. You can't use RDS CALs for earlier versions to access later versions of Windows Server, but you can use later versions of RDS CALs to access earlier versions of Windows Server. For example, an RDS 2016 CAL or higher is required to connect to a Windows Server 2016 RD Session Host, while an RDS 2012 CAL or higher is required to connect to a Windows Server 2012 R2 RD Session Host.
The following table shows which RDS CAL and RD Session Host versions are compatible with each other.
Remote Desktop Windows Server 2012
RDS 2008 R2 and earlier CAL | RDS 2012 CAL | RDS 2016 CAL | RDS 2019 CAL | |
---|---|---|---|---|
2008, 2008 R2 session host | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
2012 session host | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
2012 R2 session host | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
2016 session host | No | No | Yes | Yes |
2019 session host | No | No | No | Yes |
Remote Desktop Server License Workaround
You must install your RDS CAL on a compatible RD license server. Any RDS license server can host licenses from all previous versions of Remote Desktop Services and the current version of Remote Desktop Services. For example, a Windows Server 2016 RDS license server can host licenses from all previous versions of RDS, while a Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS license server can only host licenses up to Windows Server 2012 R2.
The following table shows which RDS CAL and license server versions are compatible with each other.
Remote Desktop Server Windows 10
RDS 2008 R2 and earlier CAL | RDS 2012 CAL | RDS 2016 CAL | RDS 2019 CAL | |
---|---|---|---|---|
2008, 2008 R2 license server | Yes | No | No | No |
2012 license server | Yes | Yes | No | No |
2012 R2 license server | Yes | Yes | No | No |
2016 license server | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
2019 license server | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
