Hello all,
I deployed a 2012 R2 RDS server a few months ago, and it's just now getting its first users. However, I realize now looking at it that I made a mistake in the deployment process and I'm trying to recover it. Instead of doing the RDS deployment (quick start or standard) and installing all roles at once, I just selected the session host by itself in the standard add roles wizard. As such, I can't manage the deployment via server manager because it states there is no deployment present.
To try to correct this, I added the gateway, broker, and web access roles to have them all present for a deployment, but that doesn't appear to have rectified the issue. It's curious, though, because using Server Manager to try to manage the RDS deployment, it states that a deployment does not exist. If I go through the wizard to add a deployment, it states a deploymentdoes already exist, and even finds the broker automatically.
So, here are my main questions:
- As I have all roles installed, is there a way to make them understand all the pieces for a deployment are available for management?
- If I re-run the wizard and select the same server for deployment, will it redo the installations, or update them?
- If the installations are re-done, what happens to my existing applications that are already available on the host?
I know this is a gray area, but if I can avoid re-doing the deployment entirely, that'd be ideal.
Thanks.
