I have a Windows Server 2008R2 server that i installed Remote Desktop Services on many years ago. It only has two role services installed.
Remote Desktop Server. It is as basic a configuration RDS can be. It only has Remote Desktop Session Host and Remote Desktop Licensing Server installed. Nothing else. And all i do is create local users, put them in the Remote Desktop Users group and i let them remote to this server using "Remote Desktop Connection" in Windows 7/10.
How do i replicate this environment as closely as possible in Windows 2012R2/2016/2019? I see that those versions introduced a bunch of new features and role services, all of which look like stuff I DONT NEED. :) I dont need a connection broker or a web server! None of that. I just want what i already have today and nothing more. Is that possible?
Has anyone written a guide for building a bare bones RDS server on the newer OS that doesnt have all this new stuff?
