Course 10940: Using Remote Desktop Services in a Virtualized Environment

Introduction In this course, you will learn about the changes and improvements in Remote Desktop Services (RDS) in Windows® Server® 2008 R2. RDS in Windows Server 2008 R2 provides many of the same features that are available in Terminal Services in Windows Server 2008, and also includes some new functionality. This course describes how to deploy and configure Remote Desktop Session Hosts and Remote Desktop Connection Brokers. Additionally, you will explore Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), and its benefits and requirements. Many organizations are deploying Remote Desktop Services (RDS) for clients on the internal network. However, RDS also provides functionality that makes it the ideal solution for enabling users outside an organization to securely access applications and data. The main RDS role service that makes this possible is Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway). In this course, you will learn how to extend RDS to provide secure access to applications and data for users who are accessing organizational assets via an Internet connection. This course is a subset of the content offered in the Microsoft Learning Collection 10215A: Implementing and Managing Microsoft® Server Virtualization, and it can help prepare learners for the Microsoft Learning certification exam 70-659 TS: Windows Server 2008 R2, Server Virtualization. Objectives At the end of the course, students will be able to:

• In this course, you will deploy and configure Remote Desktop Session Hosts (RD Session Hosts) and Remote Desktop Connection Brokers (RD Connection Brokers). You will also extend RDS to provide secure access to applications and data for users who are accessing organizational assets via an Internet connection.
