Okay here we go.
They need to be able to publish their app and run it from anywhere in the country but also locally at their local office where I will be installing this.
I built the server with a haswell i5 because they don't need more than that for their 10 users. I installed a fresh copy of 2008 R2. I have 5 RDS CALs and 10 CALs.
My first attempt at the install did not go well. I installed DHCP DNS RDP IIS/FTP and could not get FTP to work nor remoteapp. I could contact the server locally for FTP, but when I tried to authenticate the credentials it told me it could not contact the server. I could use RDP fine with 3 separate connections and that worked perfect. I set up remoteapp and when I used the .rdp file or the web interface and attempted to open the remote application, it would say something like cannot contact the server, contact your help desk. I tried my best to fix these issues but alas, decided it was best to reformat, skip DHCP, install in the order of DNS, RDS, FTP.
Basically what I am looking for is a walk through on how to do this flawlessly so I don't need to troubleshoot after everything is installed. Is there a walk-through that goes from initial installation and shows the process of installing these roles from start to finish? I used a lot of different tutorials together on the last install and I feel that was part of my problem.
Thanks for all the help as I have been struggling with this server and am new to 2008 r2.
