QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Have a Question?
Be the first to ask a question about this.
What's new in Remote Desktop Services
The following scenarios and technologies are new or improved in Windows Server 2016.
____________________
Azure SQL Database
The new database for your highly available environment. The RD Connection Broker is able to store all of the deployment information (like connection states and user/host mappings) in a shared SQL database, such as an Azure SQL database. Ditch the SQL Server Always On Availability Group deployment manual, grab the connection string to the Azure SQL database, and start using your highly available environment.
Personal session desktops
Providing individual desktops to any end-user. Personal session desktops is a new way to have your own personal desktop hosted for you in the cloud. Administrative privileges and dedicated session hosts removes the complexity of hosting environments where users want to manage the desktop like it's their own.
App Compatibility
_____
Built on the same foundation of Windows 10, Windows Server 2016
not only has the same look and feel you expect out of a desktop but can also run many of the same
applications. Pairing Windows Server 2016 with the graphics capabilities (below) gives you an
environment for all users to be productive.
Graphics
_____
Solving graphics needs across various scenarios.
Thanks to Hyper-V's Discrete Device Assignment, you can now map GPUs on a host machine directly to
a VM to be consumed by its GPU-requiring applications. Improvements have also been made in RemoteFX
vGPU, including support for OpenGL 4.4, OpenCL 1.1, 4k resolution, and Windows Server virtual
machines.
RD Connection Broker
_____
Improved connection handling during logon
storms. With improved connection handling, the RD Connection Broker is now able to handle over
10,000 concurrent logon requests, sometimes seen during "logon storms". The improved RD Connection
Broker also makes maintenance of the deployment simpler by being able to more quickly add servers
back into the environment.
RDP 10
_____
New capabilities built into the protocol. RDP 10 now uses the H.264/AVC 444
codec, appropriately optimizing across both video and text. With this release, pen remoting is also
supported. With these capabilities, your remote sessions start to feel even more like a local
session.
