I am installing "Remote Desktop Services" for the first time in Windows Server 2012 R2.

I selected all the features the first time but when I rebooted it rolled back all the features and removed the RDS role that I had installed.

I have already installed the roles: ADCS, ADDS, ADLCS, DNS, DHCP and IIS.

I want to use SQL Server 2012 as Remote Desktop that I have installed.

Is there any prerequisites that I missed?

Hi Philosophiae,

It is not recommend install RDS service on a domain controller, the better idea is we need an additional server had been setup and the following articles then setting all up as per recommendations.
