Hello and Good Day Community...
My organization is looking at Windows 2012 R2 for Remote Desktop Session host. Our production environments currently run Windows 2008 R2.
In setting up a new Windows 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Host, I am doing a standard deployment. I am noticing when going thru the wizard, I am asked to specify a connection broker server. This looks to be required now when setting up Windows 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Services. I understand that. But it is also asking me to specify a RD Web Access server. I don't seem to have an option for going past that part of the wizard, it looks like it wants you to specify one before continuing.
I ask this question because we do not use RD Web Access in out Remote Desktop farms. Is this now required in a standard deployment, even if you don't use RD Web Access? If so, why is it required? Does the RD Web Access role now have additional responsibilities that now make it mandatory?
Thanks for any insight you can provide...
