Hello,
Currently we are running a W2k12r2 RD deployment with 2 RD connection brokers in HA and 2 RD Gateway / Webaccess servers, 2 DC's with RD licensing. RD session hosts are all W2k12R2.
We would like to be able to offer both normal and HTML5 connections for our remote desktops and remote apps.
For what i understand from this
document and this
document we need to upgrade Brokers, Gateways and rd webaccess servers to achieve this.
- What will be the best way to upgrade our brokers and have no down time. Since we only can have 2 brokers in 2012r2, remove one broker from the HA configuration, add a new 2016 broker to the HA configuration, remove the last 2012r2 from the configuration
and add another 2016 to the HA configuration?? Is there anything else? Can we simply remove one broker from the configuration and mount a 2016 iso and update?
- Rd gateways and rd webaccess servers run in mixed mode. So next step is to simply install new Rd gateways / rd web access servers Windows 2016, remove 2012R2 servers from configuration and add the new Windows 2016 servers to the configuration. Am i missing
something?
- Rd licensing servers and Rd session hosts on W2k12r2 are supported in this configuration. We cannot run collections in mixed mode. We need per user licenses for HTML5.
So if we have the setup like described above will we be able to offer both normal and HTML5 connections to our remote desktop and remote apps?
Thanks,
LEVD
