RDS-O-Matic Intro and Demo

RDS MVPs Claudio Rodrigues and Freek Beerson have been working on something called the RDS-O-Matic. In this article it is explained what it is and a 7 minute demo.

The RDS-O-Matic right now does the following:

• Creates a complete RDS deployment with:
  • 2 RD Connection Brokers
  • 2 RD Web Access servers, load balanced using NLB on port TCP 443.
  • 2 RD Gateway servers, load balanced using NLB on ports TCP 443 and UDP 3391.
  • 2 RD Session Host servers with the desktop experience loaded.
  • 2 RD Licensing Servers, activated and set to whatever you choose (Per User/Device).
• Creates a collection with the 2 RD Session Hosts on it.
• Creates a test published application, WordPad, so you can try the environment immediately.
• Enables HA on the RD Connection Brokers.
• Retrieves the certificate (you enter the location for the certificate in PFX format) and deploys it to all roles.
