Hi.
I have a set up a WinServer 2012 environment to test VDI. This deployment will be for personal virtual desktops which are assigned to specific users, not pooled VM's.
I have a Hyper-V server "Win2012-HyperV", where there is one Virtual Machine created. This VM is named "vmRob.mydomain.local". I installed Windows 7, joined the virtual PC to the domain with the computer name "vmRob.mydomain.local".
I also have a Broker server set up, "Win2012-Broker", with all the requisite Server Roles (I think).
I created a virtual machine "collection", and added "vmRob.mydomain.local" to it. I assigned the VM to a domain user "rsmith".
All servers are added to my domain. I can go to the Hyper-V server and start the VM.
Now, I go to another PC, and run mstsc.exe (Remote Desktop Connection). I want to connect to "vmRob", not the Broker server itself. In RDC, I specify the computer "Broker2012" and the user name "mydomain\rsmith". When RDC connects, it displays the Broker's
desktop -- the user "rsmith" is not being "redirected" towards the Virtual Machine.
The Broker should start the VM "vmRob" on the Hyper-V server and display that back to the RDC client. I had it working in WinServer 2008 R2, but I am missing something in 2012... I should note that I do not have the Session Host role installed -- I have
been led to believe that it is not required, unless I am doing pooled VM's.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
