Hello all,
Please forgive me I am a bit new with virtualization setups on Windows as I have manly used them on Linux in the past. I recently got a few yer old server that has Server 2012 on it and I wanted to inquire about the best setup for me. I am looking to use it as a small virtualization host for my personal use on my home network. I will probably only host about 4 virtual operating systems from it at a time, but I am not very familiar with the roles to setup.
I've read basic overviews of "Hyper-V" role vs the "Remote Desktop Services" role, but I am still not clear on if I should be using one or the other or both for my setup. Like I said I wanted to have a few virtual window instances on my home network and I was hoping to be able to log into them through remote desktop on my desktop/laptop. My home network is not on a domain encase that makes a difference.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on what roles I need for this setup and then I can research more from there?
Thanks in advance!
