Currently 2012 R2 RDS server carry :Connection Broker, Web Access (for Remote App only) and RDSH.
Planning to add RDSHs. One right now and couple of more in the future.
I prepare to activate Licensing. Dedicated Server 2012 VM is ready.
Load Balancing will be enabled for RDSHs.
Questions:
1. would Load Balancing in RDS 2012 allow kind of high availability. Let say on host goes down (for maintenance).
Or it should be achieved in other way?
2. Would it be normal approach to run Broker and licensing services on a dedicated server. If the answer is YES I have to move my Connection Broker Role to the dedicated Server where Licensing will be enabled. Is it difficult :) ?. How to do that?
3. And now the logic pushes me to ask about RD Web Access roles that is deployed on the single server now.
I feel that the right way to keep RDSHs clean. Would it be right to keep one Server for 3 roles: RD Connection Broker, RD Web and Licensing services.
There are no GATEWAY involved and no plans for it. Each server in RDS deployment running in Powerful VMs and is backed up with easy way for about instant recovery. During the year the farm will grow to max 300 REMOTE APP connections.
Does my Roles placement planning make sense?
Thanks.
