If you aren't coming into an environment where RDS is already up-and-running, it will be helpful to understand where the roles come from and how they are put into place. In this recipe, we are going to combine a number of Remote Desktop roles onto a single server so that we can take a look at that installation process. When we are finished, we should have an RDS server that will allow users to connect and utilize a Remote Desktop session.

Getting ready
We will be using a Windows Server 2016 machine to install the RDS roles. This server is already joined to our domain.
