Syntax

New-RDSessionDeployment
   [-ConnectionBroker] <String>
   [-SessionHost] <String[]>
   [[-WebAccessServer] <String>]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The New-RDSessionDeployment cmdlet installs role services required for the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) to create a Remote Desktop Services (RDS) session-based Remote Desktop deployment. A session-based deployment allows users to connect to session collections that include published Windows Server 2012 RemoteApp programs and session-based desktops.

Specify the fully qualified domain names (FQDN) for servers to host a Remote Desktop Connection Broker (RD Connection Broker) role service, a Remote Desktop Web Access (RD Web Access) role service, and one or more instances of the Remote Desktop Session Host (RD Session Host) role service.

Important

Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1.0 must be enabled while doing a single instance install on Windows Server 2016 or earlier. If not, the Remote Desktop Session fails to deploy.

Examples

Example 1: Install role services for a session deployment

PS C:\> New-RDSessionDeployment -ConnectionBroker "RDCB.Contoso.com" -WebAccessServer "RDWA.Contoso.com" -SessionHost "RDSH01.Contoso.com"
