Deployment Scenarios Remote Access Desktop Replacement App Consolidation Branch Office Partner Access

RDS – New and Improved Unified Admin and User experience for RD Session Host (1 session per user) RD Virtualization Host (1 VM w/desktop OS per user) Two options for VM-based desktops pooled virtual desktop permanent virtual desktop Richer remoting experience (multi-mon, multi- media, bi-directional audio, rich graphics) Better App Compat thru AppV for RDS Scalable VM management thru SCVMM Enhancements in RD Session Host VMs with Client OS (VM-per-user) RD Connection Broker Pooled VMs Sessions with Server OS (Session-per-user) Single Image RD Virt Host RD Session Host Personal VMs

RDS Deployment Options RD Session Host (aka TS) Low cost image management Easiest admin management Least resources required Good compatibility for legacy apps Pooled Virtual Desktop Medium cost image management Easier admin management than Personal Less Resources than personal Better compatibility for legacy apps Personal Virtual Desktop High cost image management Administrator access (user can install programs) High Resource cost Compatibility for legacy apps Customers will mix & match options

Drilldown into RD Session Host

RD Session Host improvements Application Compatibility Windows Installer RD Session Host Compatibility Per-session and per-application IP Reduce impact of users on one another Fair Share CPU Distribution among sessions Prevent overflow of Roaming User Profile cache Quota for overall RUP cache on the server Security Kerberos authentication for RDSH Farm

Application Compatibility Windows Installer applications issues Most apps are written for desktops In the past MSI apps needed special installation steps on RDS Windows Installer RD Session Host Compatibility Brings in missing per-user configuration settings during initial app startup phase Allows concurrent MSI installations from multiple users by queuing requests Single IP issues LOB apps allow only one connection from one IP address Regulatory

IP Virtualization IP Virtualization Modes Per-program Per-session DHCP integration Virtual IP addresses will be obtained from DHCP 13

Fair Share CPU Scheduling Scheduling mechanism fairly distributes CPU cycles across sessions Dynamically distributes cycles based on number of active sessions and their load Applied at kernel level

Algorithm for Equal CPU Distribution Sharing on Per CPU basis Each session gets a fraction of each CPU Interval divided among sessions using Round Robin Every 150 ms all threads are freed from idle queue and given a fresh start By default all sessions have same weight so even division of CPU where each quantum = 150/number of sessions Threads exceeding quota are queued on interrupt If CPU finishes under-quota threads, it takes highest pri thread of least over-quota session and gives session 5 ms

RD Gateway Security Improvements Device Redirection policy enforcement Disconnect after Idle Reauthenticate after Session timer Messages Show Legal messages (EULA) before connectivity Administrator Messaging - Service Messaging BPA Best practice analyzer to warn Administrators of improper RD Gateway server configuration Microsoft Confidential

RD Session Host and AppV Better together ProblemSolution Improve AppCompatAppV Reduce cost of App deployment/management AppV - Streaming makes it easier to deploy and update applications AppV – Silo reduces test effort Support multi-workload (role based assignment of apps ) AppV – User based app assignment, Silo reduces app conflicts and can allow multiple versions of apps to be deployment.
