Course 10945: Configuring Remote Desktop Services and RemoteApp

Introduction Remote Desktop Services (RDS) and RemoteApp provide presentation virtualization. Although you connect to a remote desktop or to individual remote applications, your experience is similar to running local applications on your computer. RDS features such as device redirection, single sign on (SSO), and Remote Desktop (RD) Easy Print mean that it is not easy to distinguish between whether you are using remote or local applications. User state virtualization enables administrators to provide more flexible client environments, and to provide users with the ability to have documents and settings follow them from computer to computer. Also, this concept provides a better ability to back up and centralize user data, as well as to prevent data loss. By virtualizing user state, you provide the ability to users to have their data always with them, no matter which machine they use to log on. This technology can be combined with other virtualization technologies. This course provides an overview of RDS and related role services and the procedures for connecting to an RD Session Host, describes RemoteApp programs and the methods for accessing them, explains how to use RD Gateway to access RDS infrastructure securely from an external network, discusses technologies that provide user state virtualization and various ways to provide virtualization, and discusses how to configure roaming profiles and users' folder redirection as part of the user state. This course is intended for Microsoft® Windows Server® 2008 system and desktop administrators who will manage and implement desktop and application virtualization technologies within their networks. This course is a subset of the content offered in the Microsoft Learning Collection 10324: Implementing and Managing Microsoft Desktop Virtualization, and it can help prepare learners for the Microsoft Learning certification exam 70-669 TS: Windows Server 2008 R2, Desktop Virtualization. Objectives At the end of the course, students will be able to:

• In this course, you will configure RDS and RemoteApp and implement user state virtualization.
