Abstract

Remote Desktop IP Virtualization provides administrators the ability to assign a unique IP

address to a program that is available by using RemoteApp and Desktop Connection. In this

guide, we will configure Remote Desktop IP Virtualization and access it as a standard user by

using RemoteApp and Desktop Connection.

Deploying Remote Desktop IP Virtualization Step-by-Step Guide

About this guide This step-by-step guide walks you through the process of setting up a working Remote Desktop

IP Virtualization infrastructure in a test environment. During this process, you will create a test

deployment that includes the following components:

A Remote Desktop Connection Broker (RD Connection Broker) server

A Remote Desktop Web Access (RD Web Access) server

A DHCP server

This guide assumes that you previously completed the Installing Remote Desktop Session Host

Step-by-Step Guide (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=147292), and that you have already

deployed the following components (if you have previously configured the computers in the

Installing Remote Desktop Session Host Step-by-Step Guide, you should repeat the steps in that

guide with new installations):

A Remote Desktop Session Host (RD Session Host) server

A Remote Desktop Connection client computer

An Active Directory domain controller

As you complete the steps in this guide, you will:

Set up the necessary servers in the CONTOSO domain.

Install and configure RemoteApp and Desktop Connection.

Configure Remote Desktop IP Virtualization.

Verify that Remote Desktop IP Virtualization is functioning correctly.

In Windows Server® 2008 R2, RD Session Host supports per program and per session Remote

Desktop IP Virtualization for Winsock applications. When using per program Remote Desktop

IP Virtualization, you choose which programs to use with Remote Desktop IP Virtualization. When

using per session Remote Desktop IP Virtualization, all Winsock applications are virtualized with

Remote Desktop IP Virtualization. Remote Desktop IP Virtualization allows you to assign a

unique IP address to a user session, which helps to avoid application compatibility issues by

simulating a local desktop.

What this guide does not provide

This guide does not provide the following:

An overview of Remote Desktop Services.

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=147292

Guidance for setting up and configuring a Remote Desktop IP Virtualization server in a

production environment.

Scalability or performance information concerning RD Session Host in a production

environment.

Complete technical reference for Remote Desktop Services.

Scenario: Deploying Remote Desktop IP Virtualization in a test environment We recommend that you first use the steps provided in this guide in a test lab environment. Step-

by-step guides are not necessarily meant to be used to deploy Windows Server features without

additional deployment documentation and should be used with discretion as a stand-alone

document.

Upon completion of this step-by-step guide, you will have a working Remote Desktop Services

infrastructure by using Remote Desktop IP Virtualization. You can then test and verify Remote

Desktop Services functionality as follows:

Have a user connect to an RD Session Host server by using Remote Desktop Connection

and verify that the session is assigned a unique IP address.

The test environment described in this guide includes six computers connected to a private

network using the following operating systems, applications, and services.

Computer name Operating system Applications and services

CONTOSO-DC Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory Domain

Services, Domain Name

System (DNS)

RDSH-SRV Windows Server 2008 R2 RD Session Host

RDCB-SRV Windows Server 2008 R2 RD Connection Broker

RDWA-SRV Windows Server 2008 R2 RD Web Access

DHCP-SRV Windows Server 2008 R2 Dynamic Host Configuration

Protocol (DHCP)

The computers form a private network and are connected through a common hub or Layer 2

switch. This configuration can be emulated in a virtual server environment if desired. This step-

by-step exercise uses private addresses throughout the test lab configuration. The private

network ID 10.0.0.0/24 is used for the network. The domain controller is named CONTOSO-DC

for the domain named contoso.com. The following figure shows the configuration of the test

environment.

Step 1: Setting up the Contoso Domain

To prepare your Remote Desktop IP Virtualization test environment in the CONTOSO domain,

you must complete the following tasks:

Configure the Remote Desktop Connection Broker (RD Connection Broker) server (RDCB-

SRV).

Configure the Remote Desktop Web Access (RD Web Access) server (RDWA-SRV).

Configure the DHCP server (DHCP-SRV)

Use the following table as a reference when setting up the appropriate computer names,

operating systems, and network settings that are required to complete the steps in this guide.

Before you configure your computers with static Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, we

recommend that you first complete Windows product activation while each of your

computers still has Internet connectivity. You should also install any available critical

security updates from Windows Update (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=47370).
