Hi all, our Windows 2012R2 RDS system was just handed over to me to support. With little knowledge I was tasked with setting up the following and am wondering if this even possible.
Task: Set up a Windows7 32bit session host so that some very old software can be loaded on it and it would be accessed by only one person. The user is working remotely and can only get to an internet accessible RDS gateway that would provide access to the Windows 7 Session Host inside our network.
The windows7 Hyper-V virtual machine was created and then I get on our Windows 2012R2 server where RDS is managed and I open up Server Manager and add the new Windows7 PC. The Server Manager shows a Manageability status of "Online - Cannot manage a client-based operating system'.
Can I still add this Windows 7 vm as a Session Host in RDS? Is Windows 7 even a supported operating system to function as an RDS Session Host? Can I create a session collection such that the win7 session host will be used for Remote Desktop sessions?
Any feedback will help me understand RDS better and would be much appreciated.
