Now the Remote Desktop Licensing Manager and the RD Licensing Diagnoser will be available.

Add both the Remote Desktop Licensing role service and the Remote Desktop Virtualization Host role service.

Then select the local server to add the role to. Choose a Role-based or feature-based installation.

In Server Manager, choose Add Roles and Features from the Manage menu.

Since our installation is for development and testing, we will set up the licensing server on the same machine as the Hyper-V host. The RD Virtualization Host needs the RD Licensing Server to confirm the availability of Remote Desktop Client Access Licenses.

As usual, after adding the Hyper-V role the Hyper-V Manager will be available.ДЄdd the Remote Desktop Virtualization Host Role Service and the Remote Desktop Licensing Role ServiceДЇor RemoteFX to work, the Remote Desktop Virtualization Host role service must be up and running on the Hyper-V host machine.ДЄlso a Remote Desktop Licensing Server must be available in the network.

In Server Manager, choose Add Roles and Features from the Manage menu.

Then the Hyper-V role needs to be added.

Also be sure that the latest available display driver is installed.

After the basic setup of Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter, ask Windows Update to install all available updates.

LetвЂ™s start with setting up the host machine. So the hardware meets the requirements for RemoteFX and we will not bother with discussing details of hardware requirements. Graphics adapter is a NVIDIA Quadro K620. The host machine has a Core i7 processor (Haswell generation). This is known as the RemoteFX vGPU feature. (In this guide, the name of the host machine we are configuring will be вЂњBlackвЂќ.)Д®specially we are interested to have a synthesized DirectX 11 capable graphics adapter in our virtual machines. The host is used for testing and development purposes, it is not member of a domain.
