Hello,

I currently have 1 physical server for test/learning purpose, until now i havent had any Problems/limitations on hardware or configuration my test environment. Until I started implementing the Remote Desktop Services Role

Goal: Working RemoteFX environment, this is for testing/learning purpose with only 1 user.

Hardware Configuration:

CPU: I3-3225 (3rd Generation Intel SLAT Support)

CPU Graphic: Intel HD Graphics 4000

RAM: 16GB

Video: Nvidia Quadro 600 (1GB) Graphic Card

Free Space: 30GB SSD, 1,5TB HDD

Software configuration:

Host OS: Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1

Roles; DHCP, DNS(Secondary), File Services, Hyper-V, Network Policy and Access Services, Remote Desktop Services

VMs

VM01: Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1

Roles: Active Directory Domain Services, DNS(Primairy)

Carried out:

- -       Added: Nvidia Quadro 600 (1GB) Graphic Card

-       - Moved: DC to a new VM (VM01)

-       - Installed: the Remote Desktop Services +  Roles: Remote Desktop Services, RemoteFX Session Licensing, RemoteFX Session Manager

- -       Added: RemoteFX 3D Video Adapter in VM Setting

Problem: VM keeps hanging on Starting (10%) and gives an error: Insufficient system resource exist to complete the requested service after a while

I have searched multiple forum trying to find a solution and the answers vary from hotfixes to hardware related answers. I installed the hot fixes, re-installed the role, deleted the Intel HD Graphic 4000 hardware component, with still the same issue.

Any suggestions?

Ps: I have heard that windows server 2012 has a better compatibility with low-end remote  fx solutions, maybe a upgrade is better?

Hi,
Firstly, please use task manager or performance monitor to check the CPU and memory usage.
In general, it is not recommended to install RDS roles on a DC for security and performance consideration.
In addition, to configure RemoteFX in Windows Server 2012, some components are updated and new components are added. All features of RemoteFX (with the exception of the vGPU) can be used with or without a physical GPU present in the server.
I recommend you to check the article below to see if your computers meets the requirements for RemoteFX:
Hardware Considerations for RemoteFX

Furthermore, according to the similar thread below, you can reinstall RDS RemoteFX to see if the issue persists:
