We currently manage an 8 node Windows 2008 RDS farm which serves approximately 250 users. We utilise roaming profiles and redirected folders. The majority of our users operate from non-domain joined thin clients. Users connect to a full RDS desktop session rather than using local client desktops and published apps.
We will be replacing the existing thin clients with new domain joined t/clients and domain joined laptops. We are planning to deploy a new Windows 2016 RDS farm. Our initial plan was to stick with RDSH rather than VDI, however, we intend to use published apps with local desktop sessions. are also thinking about utilising both redirected folders and user profile disks. VDI looks interesting but its unknown territory to us and we're struggling to get to grips with the pros, cons, costs, & licensing implications of RDSH vs VDI. There seems to be a lot of inconsistent and confusing documentation out there!
Anyone been in a similar situation or can point us in the direction of some straight forward documentation?
