Terminal Server Installation

This is the installation of Windows 2008R2 Enterprise Edition 64 bits. Installed like Windows Server 2008.

VMware Tools

VMware Tools have been installed on the system.

Server activation

cscript c:\Windows\System32\slmgr.vbs -skms kms.company.local:1688
cscript c:\Windows\System32\slmgr.vbs -ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
cscript c:\Windows\System32\slmgr.vbs -ato

Other Required Services

Eventlog to Syslog

I want the event viewer to forward all event viewer events to syslog:

C:\Users\administrator>cd c:\windows\system32

c:\Windows\System32>evtsys -i -h 10.10.5.14 <acceptance Syslog>
Checking ignore file...
May  7 16:41:06 Error opening file: evtsys.cfg: The system cannot find the file
specified.

May  7 16:41:06 Creating file with filename: evtsys.cfg
Command completed successfully

Now, go into your services.msc and start the service.

Telnet Client

Windows Server 2008 comes by default without a telnet client which is a no go in my opinion.

I used these steps to add the telnet client to Windows Server 2008 active features:

  1. Open Server Manager by clicking Start ? 'Server Manager'
  2. Click on 'features' from the left panel in Server Manager
  3. Click on 'Add Features'
  4. From the available list of features select 'Telnet Client' and click 'Next'
  5. Click on 'Install'
  6. Click 'Close'

Windows Security

I disabled the Windows Firewall and disabled Internet Explorer Enhanced Security.

Windows Domain

I added the server to the domain.

Windows Terminal Services

I added the Role Remote Desktop Session Host and Remote Desktop Licensing. Users that are member of Remote Desktop Users are allowed to log on.
