Hello everyone, this is Clark Nicholson from the Remote Desktop team. We have just published additional guidance to extend a basic
Remote Desktop Services (RDS) deployment in Azure virtual machines
. The
RemoteApp Programs Deployment
document provides steps to create a RemoteApp collection. This allows users to access Windows applications that are running in Azure virtual machines from their favorite internet connected devices.
The
Remote Desktop Session Host Farm Deployment
document provides steps to add RDSH servers to RemoteApp or desktop collections to create RDSH server farms for higher availability and scale out. Once an RDSH farm has been created in Azure, the
RDSH scaling script
can be deployed to automatically stop and start RDSH server VMs to reduce VM costs.
These documents assume that a basic RDS deployment has been created based on the
Windows Azure Desktop Hosting Reference Architecture Guide
and the
Windows Azure Desktop Hosting Deployment Guide
. For additional information, please see
Remote Desktop Services
and
Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines
.
Note: Questions and comments are welcome. However, please DO NOT post a request for troubleshooting by using the comment tool at the end of this post. Instead, post a new thread in the
RDS & TS forum
. Thank you.
