Server 2012 Foundation/Essentials AD on Single Server

Post by pauldow » Fri Aug 30, 2013 3:50 pm

One of the new "Features" of Server 2012 is that remote desktop services can't run on the same instance as an Active Directory domain controller as was possible in previous Windows Server versions.
This, of course, is absurd for small businesses since it would require either purchasing a second server and second Foundation or Essentials license. The other option is purchase and install Server standard edition, and create a virtual server session. Again, an additional Foundation or Essentials license is needed. All the labor to install and configure this is expensive too.

I looked through the documentation here, and the prerequisites for installing TSPlus only seems to cover hardware requirements. Are there any Roles and Features prerequisites during the Server 2012 configuration needed before TSPlus is installed.

My bottom line question is will TSPlus work on a Windows Server 2012 Foundation configured as an Active Directory Domain controller?

Thanks,
Paul

It's been six days, and no one has replied. You may have the product I need, but there's obviously no one who cares to answer a question, even if it's to say that you don't know.
You're not the people I want to do business with.

Good bye.

Hello,

Sorry for the late answer. Yes TSplus will work on a 2012 Foundation Server with the Active Directory installed. For faster response I recommend you to open a ticket.
