Hello,
I'm currently a Computer Systems Networks student in my Final Year, and I'm doing some research into a project I'm working on.
What I'm currently looking at is the feasibility of using existing Microsoft tech to redirect an RDP request (received by a server) to a separate cluster of physical machines on the same network running Windows 8/Windows 8.1, which themselves would be running a Hyper-V hypervisor. I am aware that Windows Server 2008 R2 (and thus, I'm also assuming 2012) has an option to redirect an RDP request to a virtual machine which is in a pool, but to my knowledge (although I may be mistaken), the pool can only hold virtual machines which are running on the same server.
In addition, my project will involve the establishment (and destruction of) virtual machines as the need arises, with user-specified resource availability.
I'd be grateful to anyone offering answers/advice. Similarly, if you need additional information to understand the project, please let me know and I'll try to elaborate.
Many thanks,
Chris Hill
