hello,
First of all I would say, I am absolutely beginner in Windows Server, and now I need to configure RD service.
So we have a small company, 3 peoples only, and we would like to have a possibility "working from home". As I read, Windows Server 2012 R2 has a feature named as "Remote Desktop" what we may use for it. We bought a Dell PowerEdge T20 server and Windows 2012 R2, everything is legal, no illegal program will planned to use :-)
After the OS installation, I made a search about how the Remote Desktop Service can be installed/configured. I have found few blogs, links describing this topic. So I started to follow the steps, but somewhere in the middle or almost at the end, I got an warning message when I click on the "Server Manager / Remote Desktop Services / Overview" in the Server Manager tool. The message is this:
"You are currently logged on as local administrator on the computer. You must be logged on as a domain user to manage servers and collections"
Yes, we do not have Domain Controller, ect, we have only this server and that is all. I also have looked at the Microsoft page "Remote Desktop Services", but there the "Test Lab Guide: Remote Desktop Services Publishing" has more complicated network than we have. So there are stand alone DC, RDWA, RDSH servers. Does this mean, the RD service cannot be installed in a standalone server where NO domain is configured, but the "pure" WORKINGGROUP is used?
Please try help me.
thanks,
