How it works...

In this recipe, we used the Remote Desktop Services management console on our primary RDS server to take a new server that we had running and turn it into a Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) server. This RDSH is now part of our RDS infrastructure, and can be managed right from this centralized management platform. In an RDS environment, this is typically the way that new roles are added onto servers that are being brought into the environment. Using the centralized management console to perform many tasks in RDS makes a lot of sense, because it is easy to see the big picture of your RDS infrastructure as you make changes or updates.
