Quickly deploy RDS 2016 in Azure

In this post I’ll show how to deploy a minimal Windows Server 2016 Remote Desktop Services farm in Azure in 20 minutes using Azure Resource Manager template. Such farm will be enough to provide Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) for 5 to 100 end-users. It was designed as a single-tenant solution, then can be quickly deployed in Azure with minimal effort for every customer. My ARM template includes:

One VM with Active Directory Domain Controller and DNS roles
One VM with RD Connection Broker and RD Licensing Server (per-user licensing through SPLA)
One VM with RD Gateway and RD Web
Specified number of RD Session Hosts.

My ARM template is based on RDS 2016 Base template from GitHub. I recommend you to watch this video from Ignite to understand the details. The resulting farm isn’t protected from DC, CB or GW failures, but it is much cheaper then Full-HA deployment with a pair of Connection Brokers with Azure SQL Database, a pair of Gateways with a Load Balancer and a highly available AD environment. If you need an RDS farm for 100+ end-users, I recommend you to modify my template and add high availability for the core components, add Azure Backup capabilities and Azure SMT for centralized management. But I assume that such large RDS farms are rare among CSP partners, and those capabilities can be added manually instead of creating a super-complex ARM template.

Login to the Azure Portal and click “More Services” in the left pane. Choose “Template” menu in the list and then click “Add” to create a new Azure Resource Manager Template.

Specify the template name and description:

Then copy the following text and paste it to the template:

Then save the template, open it and click “Deploy”:

Create a new Resource Group, specify the Region and provide some parameters:

Unique RD Gateway public DNS prefix
Active Directory Domain Name
Domain Admin username and password
Number of RD Session Hosts and their size. Agree with Terms and Conditions and click “Purchase”.

In 20-30 minutes you’ll have a ready-to-use RDS 2016 farm, accessible via specified Gwdns Label Prefix + Region URL. In my case it is https://kotlyarenkodaas.northeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/RDWeb.

Manual steps after the deployment:

Configure SSL certificates
Create Session Host collections
Install required applications for end-users
Configure User Profile Disks
Optional: Implement auto-scaling of RD Session Hosts
Optional: Configure backup using Azure Backup.

That’s all for today. Have fun with RDS 2016 and ARM!
