17、 to a range of client devices including rich clients, thin clients, and ultrathin clients. RemoteFX renders content by using graphics processing units (GPUs) that are present on the server and then shared across multiple virtual desktops. RemoteFX renders a range of content including DirectX and all

18、 types of multimedia, and it is optimized for LAN-based networks.This step-by-step guide walks you through the process of setting up a working virtual desktop pool that uses RemoteFX. During this process, you will deploy the following hardware in a test environment: A Remote Desktop Virtualization H

For

24、 more information about the hardware requirements for deploying RemoteFX, see Hardware Considerations for RemoteFX ( Ensure that the hyper-threading technology is enabled in the BIOS of the RD Virtualization Host server. Configure the proper RAM as required. Per the Windows7 requirements, if you are

25、 using an x86-based virtual machine, you must configure at least 1024 megabytes (MB) of RAM. If you are using an x64-based virtual machine, you must configure at least 2048 MB of RAM. Ensure that you are running the matching build of Windows Server2008R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) on the RemoteFX ser

27、ploying RemoteFX for a virtual desktop poolWe recommend that you first use the procedures provided in this guide in a test lab environment. Step-by-step guides are not necessarily meant to be used to deploy Windows Server features without supporting deployment documentation, and they should be used

28、with discretion as stand-alone documents.Upon completion of this step-by-step guide, you will have a virtual desktop pool that uses RemoteFX and that users can connect to by using RDWeb Access. You can then test and verify this functionality by connecting to the virtual desktop pool from RDWeb Acces
