|--|--|
|Advertising| Checks whether each domain controller advertises itself in the roles that it should be capable of performing. This test validates that the public [DsGetDcName](/windows/win32/api/dsgetdc/nf-dsgetdc-dsgetdcnamea) function used by computers to locate domain controllers will correctly locate any DCs.
This test fails if the Netlogon Service has stopped or failed to start. If the [Key Distribution Key](/windows/win32/secauthn/key-distribution-center) (KDC) service is stopped, the Advertising test fails since the flag returned from DsGetDcName won't include KDC. If port 88 over TCP and UDP is blocked on a firewall, the Advertising test will pass despite the KDC not being able to answer Kerberos tickets requests.|
|CheckSDRefDom| Checks that all application directory partitions have appropriate security descriptor reference domains.
This test uses LDAP and validates [cross reference objects](/windows/win32/adschema/c-crossref) located in **cn=partitions,cn=configuration,dc=\** contain the correct domain names in their [msDS-SDReferenceDomain](/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-ada2/fab57b2b-5f1e-4ebd-893b-a4b6b6be78e0) attributes.|
-|CheckSecurityError| Test is **not** run by default. Performs various security checks for errors related to the security components of the DC, such as issues with the security policy or the security database using LDAP, RPC, RPC over SMB, and ICMP. It checks:
- That at least one KDC is online for each domain and is reachable.
- That DCs computer object has replicated to other DCs.

+|CheckSecurityError| Test is **not** run by default. Performs various security checks for errors related to the security components of the DC, such as issues with the security policy or the security database using LDAP, RPC, RPC over SMB, and ICMP. It checks:
- That at least one KDC is online for each domain and is reachable.
- That DCs computer object has replicated to other DCs.
- If packet fragmentation of Kerberos over UDP might be an issue based on current MTU size by sending non-fragmenting ICMP packets.

|Connectivity| Verifies that the DSA and DNS are registered and reachable using LDAP and RPC. |
|CrossRefValidation| Retrieves a list of [naming contexts](/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-adts/f0f1e85a-3ac2-466a-87bf-2a8a1d18e4b8) located in _cn=partitions,cn=configuration,dc=\_ with their cross references and then validates them similar to the **CheckSDRefDom** test using LDAP. This test looks at the nCName, dnsRoot, nETBIOSName, and systemFlags attributes to:
- Ensure DNs names aren't invalid or null.
- Confirm DNs haven't been altered by CNF or 0ADEL.
- Ensure systemFlags are correct for that object.
- Call out empty (orphaned) replica sets.
|
-|CutoffServers| Tests AD replication to ensure there aren't DCs without working connection objects between partners. Any servers that can't replicate inbound or outbound from any DCs are considered “cut off” using the [DsReplicaSyncAll](/windows/win32/api/ntdsapi/nf-ntdsapi-dsreplicasyncalla) function, which triggers replication on the DCs. Use the `/e` parameter with caution if there are poorly implemented WAN links that are kept clean using schedules.
If a server can't be contacted or is unavailable to LDAP on the network, then it provides no error or test results, even if the `/v` parameter is specified. This test uses RPC. |
-|DcPromo| Tests against the server specified in the client DNS settings if the infrastructure meets the necessary requirements to promote your device to a DC. This test uses DNS on the network and checks:
- If at least one network adapter has a primary DNS server set.
- If there's a disjointed namespace based on the DNS suffix.
- That proposed authoritative DNS zone can be contacted.
- If dynamic DNS updates are possible for the server’s A record. It checks both the setting on the authoritative DNS zone and client registry configuration for DnsUpdateOnAllAdapters and DisableDynamicUpdate.
- If an LDAP DClocator record, like **_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.\**, is returned when querying for existing forests.
The following arguments are required:
- `/DnsDomain`:
- Using this parameter requires one of the following arguments: `/ChildDomain`, `/NewForest`, `/NewTree`, or `/ReplicaDC`
- If `/NewTree` is specified, the following argument is required:

+|DFSREvent| This test validates the Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) service™s health by checking the DFSR event log warning and error entries from the past 24 hours. This test uses RPC and EventLog Remoting Protocol. |
|DNS| Tests enterprise-wide DNS health checks using DNS, RPC, and WMI protocols. Not ran by default and must be explicitly requested. See [DNS syntax](dcdiag.md#dns-syntax). |
|FrsEvent| Checks to see if there are errors in the File Replication Service (FRS) event log from the past 24 hours as failing replication of the SysVol share can cause policy problems. This test uses RPC and EventLog Remoting Protocol. |
|Intersite| Checks for failures that would prevent or temporarily hold up intersite replication and predicts how long it would take for the KCC to recover. This test uses DRS functions to check for conditions that would prevent intersite AD replication within a specific site or all sites by:
- Locating and connecting to the Intersite Topology Generators (ISTG).
- Locating and connecting to the bridgehead servers.
- Reporting back any replication failures after triggering a replication.
- Validating all DCs within sites with inbound connections to this site are available.
- Checking the KCC values for **IntersiteFailuresAllowed** and **MaxFailureTimeForIntersiteLink** overrides within the registry key: **KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters**.
The `/a` or `/e` parameter must be used as not providing a site would allow the test to run but skips actual testing. This test uses RPC over the network to test the replication aspects and asks registry connections to check for NTDS override entries. LDAP is also used to locate connection info. |
|KccEvent| This test queries the KCC on the DC for errors and warnings generated in the Directory Services event log during the last 15 minutes. The 15-minute threshold is irrespective of the [Repl topology update period (secs)](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2003/cc739941(v=ws.10)#repltopology-update-delay-secs) registry value on the DC.
If firewall rules are causing this test to fail, see [KB2512643](/troubleshoot/windows-server/identity/dcdiag-commands-running-errors#resolution) that covers enabling those rules to allow the test to succeed. This test uses RPC along with the EventLog Remoting Protocol. |
|KnowsOfRoleHolders| This test returns the DCs knowledge of the five Flexible Single Master Operation (FSMO) roles but doesn't check all DCs knowledge for consistency. Using the `/e` parameter provides data for comparison. This test uses RPC to return [DSListRoles](/windows/win32/api/ntdsapi/nf-ntdsapi-dslistrolesa) within the [Directory Replication Service](/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-drsr/06205d97-30da-4fdc-a276-3fd831b272e0) (DRS) functions. |
-|MachineAccount| Checks whether the machine account has properly registered and that the services are advertised using LDAP and RPC over SMB, including checking:
- The DC's computer account exists in AD.
- It’s within the Domain Controllers OU.
- It has the correct [UserAccountControl](/troubleshoot/windows-server/identity/useraccountcontrol-manipulate-account-properties) flags for DCs.
- The correct [ServerReference](/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-ada3/f08d0b62-0b0a-4268-9d8e-da4c62f647f1) attributes are set.
- The minimum [Service Principal Names](/windows/win32/ad/service-principal-names) (SPN) are set. This test is identical to **CheckSecurityError** as they use the same internal test.
This test also has two repair options:
- `/RecreateMachineAccount` - Recreates a missing DC computer object. This is **not** a recommended fix as it doesn't recreate any child objects of a DC, such as FRS and DFSR subscriptions. The best practice is to use a valid SystemState backup to authoritatively restore the DC's deleted object and child objects. If you use this option, the DC needs to be gracefully demoted and promoted to repair all the missing relationships.
- `/FixMachineAccount` - Adds the UserAccountControl flags **TRUSTED_FOR_DELEGATION** and **SERVER_TRUST_ACCOUNT** to a DCs computer object. Using this repair option is preferred over trying to set these flags yourself through **ADSIEDIT** or other LDAP editors. |

|NCSecDesc| Checks permissions on all the naming contexts (such as Schema, Configuration, etc.) on the source DC to validate that replication and connectivity works between DCs. It makes sure that _Enterprise Domain Controllers_ and _Administrators_ groups have the correct minimum permissions, which is the same test performed within **CheckSecurityError**. This test uses LDAP.
|
|NetLogons| Validates that the user running DCDiag can connect to and read the SYSVOL and NETLOGON shares without any security errors. It also verifies that the _Administrators_, _Authenticated Users_, and _Everyone_ group have the **access this computer from the network** privilege on the DC.|
-|ObjectsReplicated| Checks that the Machine Account and Directory System Agent (DSA) objects have replicated. Two objects are validated by default and that they exist in each DC and are up to date on all other DCs:
- **CN=NTDS Settings**
- **CN=\**
You can use the `/objectdn:dn` parameter with the `/n:nc` parameter to specify an additional object to check. This test is done using RPC with DRS functions. |
-|OutboundSecureChannels| This test doesn't run by default. It checks that secure channels exist from all of the domain controllers in the domain to the domains specified by the `/testdomain` parameter. The `/nositerestriction` parameter prevents DCDiag from limiting the test to the domain controllers in the site.|
-|RegisterInDNS| Tests whether the directory server can register the directory Server Locator DNS records. These records must be present in DNS in order for other computers to locate this directory server for the **** domain. This also reports if any modifications to the existing DNS infrastructure are required. The parameter `/DnsDomain`: must be used. This test checks:
- The authoritative DNS zone can be contacted.
- If at least one network adapter has a primary DNS server set.
- If you would have a [disjoint namespace](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2003/cc731125(v=ws.10)) based on the DNS suffix.
- The proposed authoritative DNS zone can be contacted.
- If dynamic DNS updates are possible for the server’s A record. It checks settings on the authoritative DNS zone and the client registry configuration of **DnsUpdateOnAllAdapters** and **DisableDynamicUpdate**.
- If an LDAP DClocator record, like **_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.\**, is returned when querying for existing forests.

- If an LDAP DClocator record, like **_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.\**, is returned when querying for existing forests.
|
|Replications| This test checks all [AD replication](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2003/cc772726(v=ws.10)) connection objects for all naming contexts on specified DC(s) if:
- The last replication attempted was successful or returns an error.
- That replication is disabled.
- Replication latency is more than 12 hours.
|
|RidManager| Checks whether the relative identifier ([RID](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2003/cc773108(v=ws.10))) master is accessible and if:
- It contains the proper information.
- Can be located and contacted through a [DsBind](/windows/win32/api/ntdsapi/nf-ntdsapi-dsbinda).
- Has valid RID pool values.
The role holder must be online and accessible for DCs to be able to create security principals (users, computers, and groups) as well as for further DCs to be promoted within a domain. This test uses LDAP and RPC. |
|Services| This test validates that various AD-dependent services are running, accessible, and set to specific start types. These services start automatically and run in a shared process unless specified otherwise:
- DFSR (runs in own process)
- DNSCACHE
- EVENTSYSTEM
- IISADMIN (If using SMTP-based AD replication)
- ISMSERV
- KDC
- NETLOGON
- NTDS
- NTFRS (runs in own process)
- RPCSS
- SAMSS
- SERVER
- SMTPSVC (If using SMTP-based AD replication)
- W32TIME (starts automatically or manually)
- WORKSTATION
These service names are listed in the registry path **HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services**. This test uses RPC and the [Service Control Manager](/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-scmr/705b624a-13de-43cc-b8a2-99573da3635f) remote protocol. |
-|SysVolCheck| This test reads the DCs Netlogon [SysVolReady](/previous-versions/cc939543(v=technet.10)) registry key to validate that SYSVOL is ready. The value name has to exist with a value of 1 to pass this test and works with either FRS or DFSR replicated SYSVOLs. It doesn’t check if the SYSVOL and NELOGON shares are accessible as this is performed by **CheckSecurityError**. This test uses RPC over SMB. |
-|SystemLog| Validates the System Event Log’s health by reading and writing entries from the past 60 minutes for any errors and warnings. This test uses RPC and the [Service Control Manager](/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-scmr/705b624a-13de-43cc-b8a2-99573da3635f) remote protocol. |

|Topology| Checks that the generated AD replication topology is fully connected for all DSAs. This test isn't performed by default and must be ran explicitly. It checks:
- If automatic intra-site topology generation is disabled.
- If automatic inter-site topology generation is disabled.
- For disconnected topologies (missing connection objects), both upstream and downstream from each reference DC.
This test uses RPC, LDAP, and [DsReplicaSyncAll](/windows/win32/api/ntdsapi/nf-ntdsapi-dsreplicasyncalla) with the flag **DS_REPSYNCALL_DO_NOT_SYNC**, meaning that it analyzes and validates replication topology without actually replicating changes. This test doesn't validate the availability of replication partners. Having a partner offline won't cause failures in this test. It also doesn't test if the schedule is closed, preventing replication. To see those active replication results, use tests **Replications** or **CutoffServers**. |
|VerifyEnterpriseReferences| Checks that specified system references are intact for the FRS and replication infrastructure across all objects in the enterprise on each domain controller. This includes the following DC site attributes and objects:
- **frsComputerReference**: cn=domain system volume (sysvol share),cn=ntfrs subscriptions,cn=\,ou=domain controllers,DC=\
- **frsComputerReferenceBL**: cn=\,cn=domain system volume (sysvol share),cn=file replication service,cn=system,dc=\
- **hasMasterNCs**: cn=ntds settings,cn=\,cn=\,cn=sites,cn=configuration,dc=\
- **msDFSR-ComputerReference**: cn=\,cn=topology,cn=domain system volume,cn=dfsr-blobalsettings,cn=system,dc=\
- **msDFSR-ComputerReferenceBL**: cn=\,ou=domain controllers,dc=\
- **nCName**: cn=\,cn=partitions,cn=configuration,dc=\
- **ServerReference**: cn=\,cn=\,cn=sites,cn=configuration,dc=\
- **ServerReferenceBL**: cn=\,ou=domain controllers,dc=\
The two **DFSR** tests are only performed if domain functional level is Windows Server 2008 or higher. This means there will be an expected failure if **DFSR** hasn't been migrated to SYSVOL. This test uses LDAP and only the specified DCs are contacted. |
|VerifyReferences| Checks that certain system references are intact for the FRS and replication infrastructure. This test verifies computer reference attributes for a single DC, including the following DC site attributes and objects:
- **frsComputerReference**: cn=domain system volume (sysvol share),cn=ntfrs subscriptions,cn=\,ou=domain controllers,DC=\
- **frsComputerReferenceBL**: cn=\,cn=domain system volume (sysvol share),cn=file replication service,cn=system,dc=\
- **msDFSR-ComputerReference**: cn=\,cn=topology,cn=domain system volume,cn=dfsr-blobalsettings,cn=system,dc=\
- **msDFSR-ComputerReferenceBL**: cn=\,ou=domain controllers,dc=\
- **ServerReference**: cn=\,cn=\,cn=sites,cn=configuration,dc=\
- **ServerReferenceBL**: cn=\,ou=domain controllers,dc=\
This test uses LDAP and is similar to the **VerifyEnterpriseRefrences** test except that it doesn't check partition cross references or all other DC objects. |

+# Control Live Migration SMB Bandwidth control cluster-wide
+
+Cluster-wide parameters enable you to reserve network bandwidth for SMB between failover cluster
+nodes. With automatic configuration of the SMB bandwidth limits for live migration, administrators
+no longer need to analyze and configure these limits on individual cluster nodes. This article
+shows you how to configure cluster-wide Live Migration SMB Bandwidth control in Windows Server and
+Azure Local.
+
+When you configure Hyper-V to use SMB for Live Migration, configuring the SMB bandwidth limits
+is critical to the reliability and availability of the system. If live migration over SMB consumes
+too much bandwidth, storage and cluster network traffic could be delayed or dropped, affecting the
+system and hosted services.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> If you're using Azure Local, use Network ATC for all your host networking requirements, including
+> SMB Bandwidth management, live migrations, and much more. To learn more about using Network ATC to
+> manage SMB bandwidth limits, see
+> [Manage Network ATC](../networking/network-atc/manage-network-atc.md).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before you can configure SMB bandwidth control for Live Migration, you must have the following
+prerequisites.
+
+- A failover cluster running Windows Server or Azure Local. To learn more about creating a
+ failover cluster, see [Create a failover cluster](create-failover-cluster.md) for Windows Server
+ and
+ [Create an Azure Local cluster](/previous-versions/azure/azure-local/deploy/create-cluster?tabs=use-network-atc-to-deploy-and-manage-networking-recommended).
+
+- Each cluster node must have the Hyper-V Server role installed and has Live Migration configured.
+ For more information, see
+ [Install the Hyper-V role on Windows Server](../virtualization/hyper-v/get-started/Install-the-Hyper-V-role-on-Windows-Server.md)
+ on how to get started.
+
+- Each cluster node must have the
+ [FS-SMBBW](/powershell/module/smbshare/set-smbbandwidthlimit) Windows
+ Feature installed.
+
+ > [!IMPORTANT]
+ > After you install the SMB Bandwidth Limit feature on a cluster node, SMB bandwidth is limited to
+ > the default of 25% of the nodes total bandwidth.
+
+- Each cluster node must have 2022-09 Cumulative Update for Microsoft server operating system
+ version 21H2 or later installed. For more information, see
+[KB5017381](https://support.microsoft.com/help/5017381) for Windows Server 2022 and
+[KB5017382](https://support.microsoft.com/help/5017382) for Azure Stack HCI OS, version 21H2.
+
+- An account that is a member of the Administrators group, or equivalent.
+
+## Calculate bandwidth limit
+
+Before you can configure a bandwidth limit for SMB, you must calculate the total bandwidth to be
+reserved for SMB traffic across all physical network adapters used by the cluster. The bandwidth
+limit uses a percentage of the total bandwidth available to the cluster, even when Live Migration is
+configured to use a specific cluster network.
+
+The default SMB bandwidth limit factor is 2500 (25%) of the total bandwidth available to the cluster
+node.
+
+You should consider how much bandwidth is available to the cluster and how much bandwidth is needed
+for other cluster traffic, and other traffic using the same cluster network enabled for Live
+Migration.
+
+To calculate the bandwidth limit factor, follow the steps.
+
+1. Sum the connection speed of all network adapters in one of your clusters nodes to calculate the
+ total bandwidth for a node.
+
+ > [!IMPORTANT]
+ > Cluster nodes should have the same number of network adapters across all nodes in the cluster.
+ > The connected network adapters should also be connected at the same speeds as the other nodes
+ > in the cluster. If the cluster nodes are consistent, the bandwidth limit is calculated
+ > differently on those nodes.
+
+1. Determine how much bandwidth you wish to reserve.
+
+1. Calculate your SMB bandwidth limit factor using the following formula.
+
+ :::image type="content" source="media/configure-live-migration-smb-bandwidth/smb-bandwidth-limit-factor-equation.png" alt-text="Diagram that shows the equation: (SMB bandwidth limit / total bandwidth) * 10000 = SMB bandwidth limit factor." lightbox="media/configure-live-migration-smb-bandwidth/smb-bandwidth-limit-factor-equation.png":::
+
+If you already know the percentage of bandwidth you wish to reserve, times this value by 100.
+
+The following example uses the formula to calculate the bandwidth limit for a cluster with four
+nodes. Each node has four 10GB network adapters, with two cluster networks with two adapters each.
+Only one cluster network has Live Migration enabled. The two network adapters used for Live
+Migration are also used for other cluster traffic and Live Migration shouldn't consume more than
+10GB or 50% of the cluster network.
+
+The bandwidth limit is calculated as a percentage of the total bandwidth available to the cluster.
+The total bandwidth is 40GB and the SMB Live Migration reservation needs to be 10GB. Therefore, the
+SMB bandwidth limit factor is 2500, or 25%, as shown in the following example.
+
+:::image type="content" source="media/configure-live-migration-smb-bandwidth/smb-bandwidth-limit-factor-equation-example.png" alt-text="Diagram that shows an example calculation reserving 10 GB of 40 GB total bandwidth, giving a limit factor of 2500 (25%)." lightbox="media/configure-live-migration-smb-bandwidth/smb-bandwidth-limit-factor-equation-example.png":::
+
+## Configure Live Migration performance options
+
+When you use Hyper-V in a cluster, configure the cluster nodes consistently. To use the SMB
+bandwidth limit, configure the cluster nodes to use SMB for Live Migration. For more information
+about Live Migration performance options, see
+[Virtual Machine Live Migration Overview](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-r2-and-2012/hh831435(v=ws.11)).
+
+To configure the Live Migration performance options, select the relevant method and follow the
+steps.
+
+#### [GUI](#tab/gui)
+
+Here's how to set the SMB performance option using the user interface.
+
+1. Open Hyper-V Manager.
+
+1. In the left navigation pane, select the cluster node.
+
+1. In the right pane, select **Hyper-V Settings**.
+
+1. In the left navigation pane, expand **Live Migrations**, then select **Advanced Features**.
+
+1. In the right pane, select the **SMB** performance option.
+
+1. Select **OK** to save the changes.
+
+Repeat these steps for each cluster node.
+
+#### [PowerShell](#tab/powershell)
+
+Here's how to set the SMB performance option using PowerShell.
+
+1. Sign in to the cluster node.
+
+1. Open a PowerShell prompt as an administrator.
+
+1. Get all cluster nodes by running the following command.
+
+ ```powershell
+ $ClusterNodes = (Get-ClusterNode).name
+ ```
+
+1. Run the following command to set the performance option to SMB.
+
+ ```powershell
+ Set-VMHost -ComputerName $ClusterNodes -VirtualMachineMigrationPerformanceOption SMB
+ ```
+
+---
+
+## Configure Live Migration network selection
+
+_Optional:_ When configuring SMB bandwidth limits for Live Migration, you might also want to configure
+which cluster networks can be used for Live Migration settings.
+
+The default Live Migration settings set the cluster network used for cluster communications, CSV,
+and Storage Spaces Direct at the lowest preference. The default setting keeps Live
+Migration network traffic away from the same network the cluster uses to communicate between
+nodes. For more information about network prioritization and traffic isolation in a cluster, see the
+following articles.
+
+- [Configuring Network Prioritization on a Failover Cluster](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/failover-clustering/configuring-network-prioritization-on-a-failover-cluster/ba-p/371683).
+
+- [Network recommendations for a Hyper-V cluster](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-r2-and-2012/dn550728(v=ws.11)#isolate-traffic-on-the-live-migration-network).
+
+To configure the Live Migration network selection, select the relevant method and follow the steps.
+
+#### [GUI](#tab/gui)
+
+Here's how to set the Live Migration network selection using the user interface.
+
+1. Open Failover Cluster Manager.
+
+1. In the left navigation pane, expand the cluster.
+
+1. Right-click **Networks**, then select **Live Migration Settings**.
+
+1. In the **Live Migration Settings** dialog, select the cluster networks to use for Live
+ Migration by checking or unchecking the required networks.
+
+1. Select **OK** to save the changes.
+
+#### [PowerShell](#tab/powershell)
+
+Here's how to set the Live Migration network selection using PowerShell.
+
+1. Sign in to the cluster node.
+
+1. Open a PowerShell prompt as an administrator.
+
+1. Get the Virtual Machine cluster resource type and store it in a variable called `$VMResourceType`.
+
+ ```powershell
+ $VMResourceType = Get-ClusterResourceType -name "Virtual Machine"
+ ```
+
+1. Get the cluster network object for the network you want to exclude from Live Migration and store
+ it in a variable called `$ExcludedNetwork`.
+
+ ```powershell
+ $ExcludedNetwork = Get-ClusterNetwork -Name "Cluster Network 1"
+ ```
+
+1. Set the Live Migration network selection using the following command.
+
+ ```powershell
+ $VMResourceType | Set-ClusterParameter -Name MigrationExcludeNetworks -Value $ExcludedNetwork.Id
+ ```
+
+---
+
+## Configure cluster-wide SMB bandwidth limits
+
+Set the cluster-wide SMB bandwidth limits by using the `SetSMBBandwidthLimit` and
+`SetSMBBandwidthLimitFactor` cluster parameters. When you add a new node to the cluster, it automatically uses
+the cluster-wide values.
+
+To apply the cluster-wide SMB bandwidth limits, follow the steps using PowerShell.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> The cluster-wide bandwidth limits apply only if the cluster nodes run on physical
+> hardware. They don't take effect if the nodes run inside of virtual
+> machines.
+
+1. Sign in to one of the cluster nodes.
+
+1. Open a PowerShell prompt as an administrator.
+
+1. To check the current values of the `SetSMBBandwidthLimit` and `SetSMBBandwidthLimitFactor`
+ cluster parameters, use the following command.
+
+ ```powershell
+ Get-Cluster | FL SetSMBBandwidthLimit,SetSMBBandwidthLimitFactor
+ ```
+
+1. Set the SMB bandwidth limit factor with the following command using the value you calculated in
+ the [Calculate bandwidth limit](#calculate-bandwidth-limit) section. For example, the following
+ command sets the SMB bandwidth limit factor to 3000 (30%).
+
+ ```powershell
+ Get-Cluster | %($_.SMBBandwidthLimitFactor=3000)
+ ```
+
+1. To enable or disable the cluster-wide SMB bandwidth limits, use the following
+ relevant command.
+
+ ```powershell
+ # Disabled the SMB bandwidth limit
+ Get-Cluster | %($_.SMBBandwidthLimit=0)
+
+ # Enable the SMB bandwidth limit (default setting)
+ Get-Cluster | %($_.SMBBandwidthLimit=1)
+ ```
+
+## Next steps
+
+Now you've configured cluster-wide Live Migration SMB bandwidth control here are some resources to
+learn more.

-# Add or Remove Computers
-You can add other computers or remove computers from your MultiPoint Services system by using MultiPoint Manager. Adding other PCs to MultiPoint Manager allows the MultiPoint Dashboard to orchestrate any user's session when logged on to that PC in the same way it can for MultiPoint stations.
-
-## To add or remove servers in MultiPoint
-
-1. Open MultiPoint Manager in station mode, and then click the **Home** tab.
-
-2. Under *computer name* **Tasks**, click **Add or remove MultiPoint servers**. The **Add or Remove MultiPoint Servers** screen launches and begins discovering other servers on the local network subnet that can be managed with MultiPoint Manager.
-
-3. Do one of the following:
-
- - **To add a server:** In the **Available** list, click a server that you want to manage with MultiPoint Manager, and then click **Add**. If the administrator user account and password for the server are different than the account you are currently logged on with, you are prompted to provide the account information.
-
- - **To add a server that is not on the subnet:** In the **MultiPoint Server name** field, type the name of the server you want to add, and then click **Manually Add**.
-
- - **To remove a server:** In the **Managed** list, click a server that you want to remove from management, and then click **Remove**.
-
-## To add or remove other computers
-
-1. Open MultiPoint Manager in station mode, and then click the **Home** tab.
-
-2. Under **Home Tasks**, click **Add or remove personal computers**. The **Add or Remove Personal Computers** screen launches and begins discovering other computers on the local network subnet that can be managed with MultiPoint Services.
-
-3. Do one of the following:
-
- - **To add a computer:** In the **Available** list, click a computer that you want to manage with MultiPoint Services, and then click **Add**. When adding a computer, you are prompted to provide the account information.
-
- - **To add a computer that is not on the subnet:** In the **Personal Computer name** field, type the name of the computer you want to add, and then click **Manually Add**.
-
- - **To remove a computer:** In the **Managed** list, click a computer that you want to remove from management, and then click **Remove**.

-> [!NOTE]
-> If you are using domain accounts with MultiPoint Services, users can use any network printer from their stations.
-
-1. Connect the printer to the Multipoint server.
-
-2. Configure the printer as a shared printer:
-
- 1. Log on to the MultiPoint Server computer as an administrator.
-
- 2. From the **Start** screen, open **Control Panel**.
-
- 3. In Control Panel, click **Hardware**, and then click **Devices and Printers**.
-
- 4. Under **Printers and Faxes**, right-click the printer, and then click **Printer Properties**.
-
- 5. Click the **Sharing** tab.
-
- 6. Click **Share this printer**, specify a share name for the printer, and then click **OK**.
-
-Users logged on to any station that is connected to the Multipoint Services computer will be able to see and use the printer.

-# Allow one account to have multiple sessions
-To enable a group of users use a shared account on multiple stations at the same time, configure the MultiPoint server to allow one account to be logged on to multiple stations simultaneously. By default, if a user logs on to a second station with a shared user account, the user account is logged off the first station.
-
-1. From the **Start** screen, open **MultiPoint Manager**.

-description: Compatiblity information for apps on MultiPoint Services

-# Application Considerations
-
-## Application compatibility
-
-Any application that you want to run on a MultiPoint Services system must fulfill the following requirements:
-
-- It should install and run on Windows Server 2016
-- It needs to be session aware so each user can run an instance of the app in a MultiPoint system.
-
-If the application does specify this requirement we recommend to try installing the application and use it in a remote desktop session.
-
-## Addressing application compatibility problems
-MultiPoint Services offers the option to associate stations with full instances of Windows 10 Enterprise editions running virtually on the same host computer. For critical applications that will not run multiple instances for multiple users, or will not install on a 64-bit operating system, this can be a solution. Deploying desktops this way requires using the Virtual Desktops tab in MultiPoint Manager to:
-
-- Enable virtual desktops
-- Create a desktop template
-- Customize the template with the problem application
-- Associate stations with the customized template
-
-Each station starts from the same template, so any changes are erased each time the computer starts.
-
->[!NOTE]
->It is important to verify the licensing requirements for the applications you want to run on a MultiPoint. Although you are installing one copy applications might require per-user licensing.

-# Common Usage Scenarios
-MultiPoint Services delivers individual user desktops with the most important elements of the Windows 10 desktop experience. It also offers a simple management tool, the MultiPoint Manager, that system administrators can use for discovery and control of multiple MultiPoint servers and clients. Additionally, MultiPoint Services includes the MultiPoint Dashboard for real-time visibility. Examples of what you can do with MultiPoint Services include the following:
-
-- Give each user a personal computing experience and private folders without needing a separate computer for each person.
-- Manage multiple MultiPoint systems in a computer lab, classroom, training center, or small business environment.
-- Install a program once, and access it from any station.
-- Monitor each user's desktop activity.
-- Block screens with a customizable message to get the group's attention.
-- Restrict the group to only accessing one or more websites.
-- Project your screen to the other screens to demonstrate a particular task.
-- Communicate privately with a standard user who is asking for help.
-- Take control of a user's session to demonstrate a task.
-- Do all of the above-listed items for a user who is using a traditional PC, laptop, or any other mobile device.

-title: Configure Disk Protection in MultiPoint Services
-description: Learn how to set up disk protection for MultiPoint Services
-ms.topic: how-to
-author: dknappettmsft
-ms.author: daknappe
-ms.date: 08/04/2016
----
-# Configure Disk Protection
-You can use Disk Protection in Multipoint Services to protect your system volume from unintended updates, to schedule Windows Updates to be retained while Disk Protection is active, to temporarily disable Disk Protection, and to uninstall Disk Protection.
-
-By enabling Disk Protection in MultiPoint Services, you can protect the system volume (the drive where Windows is installed, usually C:) from unwanted changes. When Disk Protection is enabled, changes made to the system volume are stored in a temporary location so that simply restarting the computer discards them and automatically returns the system to the previous known-good state.
-
-The administrator can easily install software or make configuration changes by temporarily disabling disk protection. In order to keep the system current with Windows Updates and anti-malware definitions, Disk Protection schedules a maintenance window to download and install updates. The administrator can also provide a custom script to run during the maintenance window to accommodate any maintenance needs beyond Windows Update.
-
-## Enable Disk Protection
-Before you enable Disk Protection, make sure all applications and drivers are installed and up to date, and move your user profiles to a volume that will not be protected. If you need to make manual updates after you enable Disk Protection, you can temporarily disable Disk Protection. However, it's easiest to get the system into an ideal state before Disk Protection is turned on.
-
-
-1. Log on to the server running MultiPoint Services as an administrator.
-
-2. Before you enable Disk Protection:
-
- - Ensure the MultiPoint Services system is in exactly the state in which you want it to remain. For example, ensure that installed software, system settings, and updates are correct.
-
- - Move user profiles to a volume that is not protected, or set up a shared file location off the system volume as described in [Enable file sharing in MultiPoint Services](Enable-file-sharing-in-MultiPoint-services.md).
-
-3. From the **Start** screen, open **MultiPoint Manager**.
-
-4. Click the **Home** tab, click **Enable disk protection**, and then click **OK**.
-
-When Disk Protection is enabled for the first time, the system is prepared by installing a driver and creating a cache file on the system volume. The cache file will temporarily store any changes made to the system volume while Disk Protection is active. Because system updates are stored in the cache file, they do not alter the protected contents of the volume outside the cache file. Each time the system starts, the cache file is reset, which discards any changes stored there since the previous system start. Thus, the system always starts in the same state as when Disk Protection was enabled.
-
-Windows needs to update a few system files – including the system pagefile, crash dump location, and event logs. Those files are not discarded when Disk Protection is enabled. To accomplish this, a new volume named DpReserved is created when Disk Protection is enabled for the first time, and those files are moved to that volume. The DpReserved partition is not protected, so writes to those files persist through restarts, even when Disk Protection is enabled.
-
-## Schedule software updates
-If Windows is configured to automatically install Windows Updates, Disk Protection allows these updates at the configured time, and does not discard the updates. For example, if Windows updates are scheduled for 3:00 a.m., Disk Protection checks for updates each day at 3:00 a.m. If any updates are found, MultiPoint Services temporarily disables Disk Protection, applies the updates, and then re-enables Disk Protection.
-
-1. In MultiPoint Manager, display the **Home** tab, and then click **Schedule software updates**.
-
-2. In the Schedule Software Updates dialog box, click **Update at**, and select a time for updates - for example, **3:00 AM**.
-
-3. Select the **Run Windows Update** check box.
-
-4. If your organization runs its own update script, select the **Run the following program** check box, and specify the location of your organization's update script.
-
-5. Select a maximum time to allow updates to run.
-
-6. Under **When finished**, choose whether to have the system return to its previous power state or shut down after applying updates.
-
-7. Click **OK**.
-
-## Temporarily disable Disk Protection
-If an administrator needs to install software, change system settings, or perform other maintenance tasks that involve system updates, they can temporarily disable Disk Protection. After the changes are made, re-enable Disk Protection. During system restarts, the system will retain its state when Disk Protection was enabled.
-
-1. In MultiPoint Manager, click the **Home** tab.
-
-2. On the Home tab, click **Disable disk protection**, and then click **OK**.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Remember to re-enable Disk Protection after maintenance is complete. The system will not be protected again until the administrator explicitly re-enables Disk Protection.
-
-## Uninstall Disk Protection
-Uninstalling Disk Protection removes the driver and the cache file, so you should only do this if you want to stop using Disk Protection long-term. If you simply want to perform maintenance or stop protection temporarily, use the Disable disk protection task instead.
-
-You can uninstall Disk Protection whether it is enabled or disabled.
-
-1. In MultiPoint Manager, click the **Home** tab.
-
-2. On the Home tab, and click **Uninstall disk protection**, and then click **OK**.
-
- After you click **OK**, the computer restarts. The uninstallation process requires several restarts, during which the driver and cache file are removed. The DpReserved partition remains, and the pagefile, crash dump location, and event log files remain configured to use the DpReserved partition.

-title: Configure group policies for a domain deployment
-description: Learn how to set up group policies in MultiPoint Services
-ms.date: 07/22/2016
-ms.topic: how-to
-author: dknappettmsft
-ms.author: daknappe
----
-# Configure group policies for a domain deployment
-To ensure that your domain deployment of MultiPoint Services works properly, apply the following group policy settings to the WMSshell user account on a MultiPoint Services system.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> Some group policy settings can prevent required configuration settings from being applied to MultiPoint Services. Be sure that you understand and define your group policy settings so that they work correctly on MultiPoint Services. For example, a Group Policy setting that prevents Autologon could present problems with MultiPoint Services logon behavior.
-
-## Update group policies for the WMSshell user account
-The WMSshell user account is a system account which MultiPoint services uses to sign-in into the console, where the actual stations are created. This account is not meant to be managed by MultiPoint Manager.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> To find out how to update group policies, see [Local Group Policy Editor](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-R2-and-2012/dn265982(v=ws.11)).
-
-**POLICY:** User Configuration > Administrative templates > Control Panel > **Personalization**
-
-Assign the following values:
-
-|Setting|Values|
-|-----------|----------|
-|Enable screen saver|Disabled|
-|Screen saver timeout|DisabledSeconds: xxx|
-|Password protect the screen saver|Disabled|
-
-**POLICY:** Computer Configuration >Windows Settings >Security Settings >Local Policies >User Rights Assignment > **Allow log on locally**
-
-|Setting|Values|
-|-----------|----------|
-|Allow log on locally|Ensure that the list of accounts includes the WMSshell account.
**Note:** By default, the WMSshell account is a member of the Users group. If the Users group is in the list, and WMSshell is a member of the Users group, you do not need to add the WMSshell account to the list.|
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> When you set any group policies, make sure that the policies do not interfere with automatic updates and error Windows error reporting on the MultiPoint server. These are set by the **Install updates automatically** and **Automatic Windows Error Reporting** settings that were selected during Windows MultiPoint Server installation, configured in MultiPoint Manager using **Edit server settings**, or configured in scheduled updates for Disk Protection.
-
-## Update the Registry
-For a domain deployment of MultiPoint Services, you should update the following registry subkeys.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> Incorrectly editing the registry may severely damage your system. Before making changes to the registry, you should back up any valued data on the computer.
-
-#### To update Registry subkeys for a domain deployment of MultiPoint Services
-
-1. Open Registry editor. (At a command prompt, type **regedit.exe**, and press ENTER.)
-
-2. In the left pane, locate and then select the following registry subkey:
-
- HKEY_USERS\\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop
-
- where '\' is the security identifier (SID) for the WMSshell account. To identify the user, run the following PowerShell command.
-
- `Get-ADObject -Filter "objectSid -eq ''"`
-
-3. In the list on the right, update the following subkeys.
-
- |Subkey|Value name|Value data|
- |----------|--------------|--------------|
- |ScreenSaveActive|REG_SZ|0 (zero)|
- |ScreenSaveTimeout|REG_SZ|120|
- |ScreenSaverIsSecure|REG_SZ|0 (zero)|
-
- To update a Registry subkey:
-
- 1. With the Registry key selected in the left pane, right-click the subkey in the right pane, and then click **Modify**.
-
- 2. In the Edit String dialog box, type a new value in **Value data**, and then click **OK**.
-
-4. After you finish updating Registry subkeys, restart the computer to activate the changes.

-# Configure stations for automatic logon
-If you want your stations to be available to anyone – and your users do not need private folders to store their personal data or personalized desktops – you can configure the stations for automatic logon. Auto-logon automatically logs on a user account that has been specified in the auto-logon settings when the MultiPoint Services starts.
-
-1. From the **Start** screen, open **MultiPoint Manager**.
-
-2. Click the **Stations** tab, and then click the name of the station that you want to configure for auto-logon.
-
-3. In the right pane, click **Configure auto-logon**.
-
- The Configure Auto-Logon page opens.
-
-4. Select the **Auto-logon using the following information** check box, and then enter the user account and password to use for auto-logon. Click **OK**.
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > The user account that you use for auto-logon must have a password.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> To temporarily log on to a station that is set up for automatic logon with a different user account, hover over the top right corner of the screen to display a vertical menu, click the Settings charm, click the Power icon, and then hold the SHIFT key and click **Disconnect**. Hold down the SHIFT key until a logon prompt appears.

----
-# Create Windows 10 Enterprise virtual desktops for stations
-This optional configuration in MultiPoint Services is primarily intended for situations where an essential application requires its own instance of a client operating system for each user. Examples include applications that cannot be installed on Windows Server and applications that will not run multiple instances on the same host computer.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> These Virtual Desktops, also known as VDI, are much more resource intensive than the default MultiPoint Services desktop sessions, so we recommend that you use default MultiPoint Services sessions when possible.
-
-## Prerequisites
-To prepare to create station virtual desktops, ensure that your MultiPoint Services system meets the following requirements:
-
-| Hardware | Requirements |
-|--|--|
-| CPU (multimedia) | 1 core or thread per virtual machine |
-| Solid State Drive (SSD) | Capacity >= 20GB per station + 40GB for the MultiPoint Services host operating systemRandom Read/Write IOPS >= 3K per station |
-| RAM | 2GB per station + 2GB for the Windows MultiPoint Server host operating system |
-| Graphics | DX11 |
-| BIOS | BIOS CPU setting configured to enable virtualization – Second Level Address Translation (SLAT) |
-
-- **Stations** - Set up the stations for your MultiPoint Services system. For more information, see [Attach additional stations to MultiPoint Services](./multipoint-attach-additional-stations.md).
-
-- **Domain** - In a domain environment, the Windows MultiPoint Server computer has been added to the domain, and a domain user has been added to the local Administrators group on the MultiPoint Services host operating system.
-
-## Procedures
-Use the following procedures to:
-
-- [Create a template for virtual desktops](#create-a-template-for-virtual-desktops)
-
-- [Create virtual desktops from the template](#create-virtual-machine-desktops-from-the-template)
-
-- [Copy an existing virtual desktop template](#copy-an-existing-virtual-desktop-template)
-
-### Create a template for virtual desktops
-Before you can create a template for your virtual desktops, you must enable the Virtual Desktop feature in MultiPoint Server.
-
-##### To enable the Virtual Desktop feature
-
-1. Log on to the MultiPoint Server host operating system with a local administrator account or, in a domain, with a domain account that is a member of the local Administrators group.
-
-2. From the **Start** screen, open MultiPoint Manager.
-
-3. Click the **Virtual Desktops** tab, click **Enable virtual desktops**, and then click **OK**, and wait for the system to restart.
-
-Your next step is to create a Virtual Desktop template. You are literally creating a virtual hard disk (VHD) file that you can use as a template to create station virtual desktops for MultiPoint Manager. You can either use the physical installation media for Windows or an .ISO image file to as source for the template. You can also use a .VHD of the Windows installation. Note that to use a physical installation disc, you must insert the disc before you start the wizard.
-
-##### To create a Virtual Desktop template
-
-1. Log on to the MultiPoint Server host operating system with a local Administrator account or, in domain, a domain account that is a member of the local Administrators group.
-
-2. From the **Start** screen, open MultiPoint Manager.
-
-3. Click the **Virtual Desktops** tab.
-
-4. Copy a Windows 10 Enterprise .iso file to the local SSD.
-
-5. On the Virtual Desktops tab, click **Create virtual desktop template.**
-
-6. In **Prefix**, enter a prefix to use to identify the template and the virtual desktops created with the template. The default prefix is the host computer name.
-
- The prefix is used to name the template and the virtual desktop stations. The template will be <*prefix*>-t. The virtual desktop stations will be named <*prefix*>-*n*, where *n* is the station identifier.
-
-7. Enter a username and password to use for the local Administrator account for the template. In a domain, enter the credentials for a domain account that will be added to the local Administrators group. This account can be used to log on to the template and all virtual desktop stations created from the template.
-
-8. Click **OK**, and wait for template creation to complete.
-
-9. The new template will be listed on the **Virtual Desktops** tab. The template will be turned off.
-
-Your next step is to configure the template with the software and setting that you want on the virtual desktops. You must do this before you create any virtual desktops from the template.
-
-##### To customize a virtual desktop template
-
-1. Log on to the MultiPoint server host operating system with a local administrator account or, in a domain, with a domain account in the local Administrators group.
-
-2. From the **Start** screen, open MultiPoint Manager.
-
-3. Click the **Virtual Desktops** tab.
-
-4. Select the template that you want to customize, click **Customize template**, and then click **OK**.
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > Only the templates that have not been used to create virtual desktop stations are available. If you want to update a template that is already in use, you must make a copy of the template by using the **Import template** task, described later, in [Copy an existing virtual desktop template](#copy-an-existing-virtual-desktop-template).
-
- The template opens in a Hyper-V **VM Connect** window, and auto-logon is performed using the built-in Administrator account.
-
-5. At this point you can install applications and software updates, change settings, and update the administrator profile. All changes made to the template's built-in administrator profile will be copied to the default user profile in the virtual desktop stations that are created from the template.
-
- If you are connecting your stations over a domain, we recommend that you create a local user account and add it to the local Administrators group during customization.
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > If the system restarts while a template is being customized, auto-logon using the built-in Administrator account might fail after the system restarts. To get around this problem, manually log on using the local Administrator account that you created, change the password of the built-in Administrator account, log off, and then log back on using the built-in Administrator account and the new password. (You will need to delete the profile that was created when you logged on using the local Administrator account.)
-
-6. After you finish configuring your system, double-click the **CompleteCustomization** shortcut on the administrator's desktop to run Sysprep and then shut down the template. During customization, the Sysprep tool removes all unique system information to prepare the Windows installation to be imaged.
-
-### Create virtual machine desktops from the template
-With your virtual desktop template configured the way you want your desktops to be, you are ready to begin creating virtual desktops. A virtual desktop will be created for each station that is attached to the MultiPoint Server computer. The next time a user logs on to a station, they will see the virtual desktop instead of the session-based desktop that was displayed before.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> This procedure only works when MultiPoint Server is in *station mode*. If the system is in *console mode*, you can switch to station mode from MultiPoint Manager. If you are using default MultiPoint settings, you can also start station mode by restarting the computer. By default, the MultiPoint Server computer always starts in station mode
-
-##### To create virtual desktops for your stations
-
-1. Log on to the Windows MultiPoint server from a remote station (for example, from a Windows computer by using Remote Desktop Connection) using a local administrator account or, in a domain, a domain account in the local Administrators group.
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > Alternatively, you can log on to the server using a local station. However, when you create a station virtual desktop, you will have to log off the station that you used to create the virtual desktop in order to connect the other station to the new virtual desktop.
-
-2. From the **Start** screen, open MultiPoint Manager.
-
-3. If the computer is in console mode, switch to station mode:
-
- 1. On the **Home** tab, click **Switch to station mode**.
-
- 2. When the computer restarts, log on as Administrator.
-
-4. Click the **Virtual Desktops** tab.
-
-5. Select the virtual desktop template that you want to use with the stations, click **Create virtual desktop stations**, and then click **OK**.
-
-When the task completes, each local station will connect to a virtual machine-based virtual desktop.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> If a user account is logged on to any of the local stations, you will need to log out of the session to get the station to connect to one of the newly created station virtual desktops.
-
-### Copy an existing virtual desktop template
-Use the following procedure to create a copy of an existing virtual desktop template that you can customize and use. This can be useful in the following situations:
-
-- To copy a master template from a network share onto a MultiPoint Server host computer so that virtual desktop stations can be created from the master template.
-
-- To create a copy of a template that is currently in use so that you can make additional customizations.
-
-##### To import a virtual desktop template
-
-1. Log on to the MultiPoint server as an administrator.
-
-2. From the **Start** screen, open MultiPoint Manager.
-
-3. Click the **Virtual Desktops** tab.
-
-4. Click **Import virtual desktop template**, and use **Browse** to select the .vhd file (template) that you want to import. When you import a template, a copy is made of the original .vhd. By default, MultiPoint Services stores .vhd files in the C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\Hyper\-V\\Virtual hard disks\\ folder.
-
-5. Enter a prefix for the new template, and then click **OK**.
-
-6. If you are making further customizations to a local template, you might change the prefix name by incrementing a version number at the end of the prefix. Or, if you are importing a master template, you might want to add the version of the master template to the end of the default prefix name.
-
-7. When the task completes, you can customize the template or use it as it is to create stations.

-# Create an Administrative User Account
-Create *administrative user accounts* for those individuals who will manage your MultiPoint Services system. To see who has administrative access, in MultiPoint Manager, click the **Users** tab. Administrative user accounts are displayed in the **Account Type** column as **Administrator**. *Administrative users* have access to all MultiPoint Manager tasks that change desktop and system settings, such as:
-
-- Creating accounts
-
-- Adding and removing programs
-
-- Managing *desktops* and hardware
-
-- Ending other user *sessions*
-
-Administrative users can perform tasks that affect all other users of the MultiPoint Services system, such as install software or change security settings. For this reason, administrative users should have unique user names and passwords that are known only to them.
-
-For more information about issues that you, as an administrative user, should consider as you create and manage user accounts, see the [User Account Considerations](User-Account-Considerations.md) topic.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> You might want to create a *standard user account* for you to use when you perform tasks on the MultiPoint Services system that are not related to MultiPoint Services system management. You would then only log on to your administrative user account when you need to perform system management tasks.
-
-#### To create an administrative user account
-
-1. In MultiPoint Manager, click the **Users** tab.
-
-2. Under **User Tasks**, click **Add user account**. The **Add User Account** wizard opens.
-
-3. In the **User account** field, type a logon name for the user. Typically, the logon user name is the first and last name written together without spaces, or the first initial and last name written together without a space.
-
-4. In the **Full Name** field, type the name of the user in whatever format you prefer, such as given name, full name, or a nickname.
-
-5. In the **Password** field, type a password for the user. The password should only be known to you and the user, and you should store this information in a secure location. The password can only be changed by an administrative user.
-
-6. In the **Confirm password** field, retype the password, and then click **Next**.
-
-7. On the level of access page, select **Administrative user**, and then click **Next**.
-
-8. MultiPoint Services will check all of the information and display a message when the account has been set up. When you see the text, **A new user account was successfully created**, click **Finish**.

----
-# Create local user accounts
-Three levels of local user accounts can be created in using the MultiPoint Manager: Standard User accounts; MultiPoint Dashboard users, who have limited administrative rights; and full Administrative User accounts.
-
-Use the following procedure to create a local user account on a MultiPoint server. If your environment includes multiple MultiPoint servers, and you want the user to be able to log on to any station on any server, you need to create a local user account on each of your servers. That setup has some limitations. In a domain environment, you can also let users use their domain accounts. For an overview of your options, see [Plan user accounts for your Windows MultiPoint Services environment](Plan-user-accounts-for-your-MultiPoint-services-environment.md).
-
-1. Log on to the server as an administrator, and open MultiPoint Manager.
-
-2. Click the **Users** tab, and then click **Add user account**.
-
- The Add User Account Wizard opens.
-
-3. Enter an account name and password for the new user account, and then click **Next**.
-
-4. Select the type of user account that you want to create:
-
- - **Standard User** - Can log on to a station and perform user tasks, but has no access to MultiPoint Manager or the MultiPoint Server Dashboard, and cannot shut down the system.
-
- - **MultiPoint Dashboard User** - Has limited administrative rights. A Dashboard user can open the Dashboard and perform tasks such as logging users off the system or shutting down the MultiPoint Server computer, but the user does not have access to MultiPoint Manager.
-
- - **Administrative User** Has full administrative rights in MultiPoint Server. For example, an administrative user can run MultiPoint Manager, add and delete users, modify system settings, and update drivers.
-
-5. Click **Next**, and then click **Finish** to create the user account.

-# Edit Server Settings
-When you installed MultiPoint Services, you configured settings for your system, including opting in to certain programs. This topic describes the settings you can set for your MultiPoint Services system, and explains how to edit the settings.
-
-## About MultiPoint Services settings
-The following table describes the different settings that you can change for your MultiPoint Services system.
-
-|MultiPoint Services setting|Description|
-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------|
-|Allow one account to have multiple sessions|Allows a single user account to be simultaneously logged on to multiple stations. This can be useful in cases such as a classroom where every student is using a shared, single account. Using this setting, any changes to the account resources, such as document folders or the desktop, are available to all users who are logged on using the same account.|
-|Allow this computer to be managed remotely|Allows the computer that is running MultiPoint Services to be managed by other MultiPoint systems on your network. If this option is selected, and the managing computer is on the same subnet, this computer appears in the list of available servers to be managed. If this option is selected, and the managing computer is on a different subnet, the managing computer can still manage this computer, but you must specify the IP address of the computer.|
-|Allow monitoring of this computer's desktops|Allows you to control whether desktops can be monitored on the MultiPoint Services system. If this setting is off (not selected), desktops of stations (both local and remote) that are connected to the computer that is running MultiPoint Services will not display in the Home tab of MultiPoint Manager (including on a different computer if the computer is being remotely managed).|
-|Always start in console mode|Enables the RemoteFX technology, which is designed to allow faster and more efficient Remote Desktop sessions by offloading processing to the CPU and GPU. If you are connecting to MultiPoint Services using a RemoteFX-capable client, you may be able to achieve better performance using this option. The benefits depend on the capabilities of your server and network. For example, this depends in part on whether the time spent doing additional processing to compress the data stream is less than the time that is saved by transmitting less data.|
-|Do not show privacy notification at first user logon|When a user logs on to a MultiPoint station for the first time, a notification displays to advise the user that their station activities may be monitored.|
-|Assign a unique IP to each station|Assigns a unique IP address to each station. By default, MultiPoint Services has one IP address, which is shared with all sessions that are running on the system. This configuration, however, can cause some application compatibility problems. For example, if an application requires a unique IP address, it may not run properly on MultiPoint Services. Selecting this option, also known as IP virtualization, can resolve this problem.
IP virtualization is also useful for monitoring active sessions on MultiPoint Services. Some monitoring tools report usage according to the IP address. To enable session monitoring, you can use IP virtualization to assign a unique IP address to each session. Note that if you select this option, each new session receives a unique IP address. Any existing sessions continue to use the shared IP address until they are logged off and logged back on.|
-|Allow IM between MultiPoint Dashboard and a user session on this computer|Enables chat between MultiPoint Manager and user session on this computer. For more information see [Use IM](Use-IM.md).|
-|Allow orchestration of administrator and MultiPoint Dashboard user sessions|When enabled, allows administrators to use the MultiPoint Dashboard for session orchestration. These sessions display as thumbnails.|
-|Allow stations to use GPU hardware rendering|Controls whether stations can use the system's graphics processing unit (GPU).|
-
-## Editing the computer settings
-
-1. Open MultiPoint Manager in [station mode](Switch-Between-Modes.md), and then click the **Home** tab.
-
-2. In the **Computer** column, click the computer name, and then, under the *computer name* **Tasks**, click **Edit computer settings**.
-
-3. Select or clear the items you want to change, and then click **OK**.

-# Enable file sharing in MultiPoint Services
-You can allow users on your MultiPoint stations to share files in two ways:
-
-- **If you have a file server on the network,** it is recommended that you create a shared folder on the file server.
-
-- **If you have a small network of 2-3 MultiPoint servers, with no dedicated file server,** one of the MultiPoint servers can act as the file server for all the remaining computers running MultiPoint services. Create a shared folder on that server, and then create local user accounts for all users on that server. The shared folder can be on the original internal drive, or you can attach additional internal or external drives to the computer.

----
-# Getting Started with MultiPoint Services
-Your MultiPoint Services system allows many users to use multiple stations that are physically connected by using station hubs to only one computer. Each station typically consists of a station hub, mouse, keyboard, and video monitor. Each user at a MultiPoint Services station experiences a unique Windows computing session that you can manage using MultiPoint Manager.
-
-The components of a MultiPoint Services system include the following:
-
-- MultiPoint Services system software, which supports multiple monitors, keyboards, mouse devices, and other devices on the computer.
-
-- The MultiPoint Manager application, which lets you monitor and take actions on MultiPoint Services stations.
-
-- Maintenance and management tools.
-
-- The MultiPoint Dashboard application, which lets you complete daily tasks, such as communicating with other users.
-
-Information about how to manage MultiPoint Services stations with MultiPoint Manager and MultiPoint Dashboard is provided in this Help file.
-
-## Overview of MultiPoint Manager
-MultiPoint Manager provides four tabs to use when you are managing the MultiPoint Services stations. Each tab, and the tasks that you can perform on them, is described in more detail in each Help topic.
-
-The tabs are as follows:
-
-- **Home tab:** Switch modes to perform administrative tasks, add or remove MultiPoint servers, restart or shut down the computer, enable disk protection, add client access licenses, remap stations, and get help or support. For more information, see the [Manage System Tasks Using MultiPoint Manager](Manage-System-Tasks-Using-MultiPoint-Manager.md) topic.
-
-- **Stations tab:** View users' *desktop* status and *end* or *suspend* user sessions. For more information, see the [Manage User Stations](Manage-User-Stations.md) topic.
-
-- **Users tab:** Create and manage *standard user accounts* and *administrative user accounts*. For more information, see the [Manage User Accounts](Manage-User-Accounts.md) topic.
-
-- **Virtual Desktops tab:** Enable virtual desktop roles. For more information, see the [Manage Virtual Desktops](Manage-Virtual-Desktops.md) topic.
-
-## MultiPoint Server management and maintenance
-After your MultiPoint Services system is set up, you can use MultiPoint Manager to manage MultiPoint Services.
-
-Types of actions you can perform using MultiPoint Manager include the following:
-
-- **Adding user accounts:** Use MultiPoint Manager to create standard and administrative user accounts.
-
-- **Editing server settings:** You can configure your MultiPoint Services system to start in console mode, allow an account to have multiple sessions, assign a unique IP address to each station, and other tasks.
-
-- **Switching to console mode:** You can change the MultiPoint Services system to console mode in order to install new software on your MultiPoint Services system. You can specify that all users can run the software, or that only you can use the software, depending on the installation and licensing options of the software.
-
-- **Troubleshooting:** If you experience problems with MultiPoint Services, check the [Troubleshooting](Troubleshooting.md) section to find topics that can help you fix the problem.
-
-## Overview of MultiPoint Dashboard
-MultiPoint Dashboard features a ribbon experience where you can choose between two tabs to access common daily tasks.
-
-The tabs are as follows:
-
-- **Home tab:** Block or unblock stations, set web limiting options, project desktops to other desktops, launch or close applications, communicate via instant messaging, assist other users through remote desktop control, adjust desktop thumbnail views, and enable or disable instant messaging and application auto-launch. For more information, see the [Manage User Desktops Using MultiPoint Dashboard](Manage-User-Desktops-Using-MultiPoint-Dashboard.md) topic.
-
-- **Systems tab:** Restart, shut down, or remap either all or selected systems. For more information, see the [Manage MultiPoint Systems Using MultiPoint Dashboard](Manage-MultiPoint-Systems-Using-MultiPoint-Dashboard.md) topic.
-
-## Daily use of your MultiPoint Server system
-As you begin to use MultiPoint Services daily, there is information about how to use MultiPoint Services that you might want to share with the users on your MultiPoint Services system. This information includes the following:
-
-**Sharing content and keeping content private:**
-
-- A user can save a file or document to a private folder that can be viewed only by that user.
-
-- Users can also save documents to a public folder that is accessible to all users on the MultiPoint Services system.
-
-- It is important for MultiPoint Services users to know that administrative users have access to all files and documents on the system, even if they are stored privately in a user's personal folder.
-
-For more information about how to save and manage private and public content, see the [Manage User Files](Manage-User-Files.md) topic.
-
-**Information about a user's MultiPoint Services session:**
-
-- Each user has a user name and password, and a unique desktop *session* on the MultiPoint Services system.
-
-- A *standard user* is not an *administrative user* on the MultiPoint Services system. Standard users cannot install some types of software, but can save files and change desktop settings, except for the screen resolution. Any desktop changes the user makes are present when the user logs on again.
-
-- Users can disconnect from one station and log back on to their session on a different station without losing their work. For more information, see the [Suspend and Leave User Session Active](Suspend-and-Leave-User-Session-Active.md) topic.
-
-- A standard user's session (or all user sessions) can be disconnected or logged off by the administrative user through MultiPoint Manager. For more information, see the [Manage User Desktops](manage-user-desktops-using-multipoint-dashboard.md) topic.
-
-- If a user forgets a password, you can reset the password from the **Users** tab, which uses standard Windows user account management functionality. For more information, see the [Update or Delete a User Account](Update-or-Delete-a-User-Account.md) topic.

-# Glossary
-**associate a station**
-To specify which monitor is used with which station and peripheral devices, such as a keyboard and mouse. For direct video connected stations, this is done by pressing a specified key on the station's keyboard when prompted to do so. For USB zero client connected stations, this typically happens automatically.
-
-**bus-powered hub**
-A hub that draws all of its power from the computer's USB interface. Bus-powered hubs do not need separate power connections. However, many devices do not work with this type of hub because they require more power than this type of hub provides.
-
-**console mode**
-One of the two modes MultiPoint services can start. When the system is in console mode, no stations are available for use. Instead, all of the monitors are treated as a single extended desktop for the console session of the computer system. Console mode is typically used to install, update, or configure software, which cannot be done when the computer is in station mode. See also: *station mode*.
-
-**direct-video-connected station**
-A MultiPoint station that consists of a monitor that is directly connected to a video output on the server, and at a minimum, it includes a keyboard and mouse that are connected to the server through a USB hub.

----
-# Introducing MultiPoint Services
-MultiPoint Services role in Windows Server 2016 allows multiple users, each with their own independent and familiar Windows experience, to simultaneously share one computer.There are several ways users can access their sessions. One way is by remoting into the server using the [remote desktop apps](../remote-desktop-services/clients/remote-desktop-clients.md) with any device. Another way is through physical stations attached to the MultiPoint server:
-
-- Directly to video ports on the computer
-
-- Through specialized USB zero clients (also referred to as multifunction USB hubs), as well as through similar USB-over-Ethernet devices.
-
-- Over the local area network (LAN)
-
-Each of these methods is described in more detail in [MultiPoint Services Stations](MultiPoint-services-Stations.md) later in this document.
-
-This document addresses the following factors to consider when you are planning to deploy MultiPoint Services:
-
-- What type of desktops to use with your MultiPoint Services system: Will you need sessions, virtual machines, or Windows PCs?
-
-- [Selecting Hardware for Your MultiPoint Services System](./select-hardware-mps.md): What hardware decisions should you make?
-
-- [Hardware Requirements and Performance Recommendations](./hardware-and-performance-recommendations.md): What hardware is required for MultiPoint Services?
-
-- [MultiPoint Services Site Planning](MultiPoint-services-Site-Planning.md): Where will the computers that are running MultiPoint Services and their stations be located, and how will they be configured?
-
-- [Network Considerations and User Accounts](Network-Considerations-and-User-Accounts.md): The networking environment into which the MultiPoint Services system is deployed can affect how user accounts are managed. What is your networking environment? How will user accounts be managed?
-
-- [Storing Files with MultiPoint Services](Storing-Files-with-MultiPoint-services.md): Where will user files be stored, and how will they be accessed?

----
-# Keep Files Private
-This topic applies to content, such as documents, that you \(as an *administrative user*\) and *standard users* do not want to share with other users in a MultiPoint Services system.
-
-For more information about privacy in MultiPoint Services, see [Privacy and Security Considerations](Privacy-and-Security-Considerations.md).
-
-## To keep content private in Windows Explorer
-
-To keep your documents and other content private, you should save your work in Windows Explorer in the **Documents** library in the **My Documents** folder. The **My Documents** folder is, by default, a private folder. Note, however, that administrative users have access to private folders in Windows Explorer.
-
-> [!WARNING]
-> While an external storage device, such as a USB flash drive, is connected to a USB port on the host or on a USB hub that is not a station hub, it is viewable by any standard or administrative user logged onto the MultiPoint Services system. If you have privacy or security concerns about the content stored on an external storage device, connect it only to a station hub on the MultiPoint Services system. For information about how to use USB storage devices, see the [Save and Share Files on a USB Flash Drive](Save-and-Share-Files-on-a-USB-Flash-Drive.md) topic.

-# Manage Station Hardware
-A MultiPoint Services system consists of a single computer and at least one station. Station hardware typically consists of a station hub, mouse, keyboard, and video monitor. Stations are typically physically wired to the computer.
-
-The following illustration shows an example of the layout of a MultiPoint Services system that has four stations. Each station is connected to the MultiPoint Services computer by using a USB hub and multi-monitor video cards. This illustration does not represent stations that are connected by using multifunction hubs.
-
-
-
-The topics in this section describe how you can view the status of the hardware connected to your MultiPoint Services system, and provide detailed information about the types of USB devices and other peripheral hardware devices that you can use to set up a MultiPoint Services station. The following is a brief description of the topics in this section that can help you select hardware and set up your MultiPoint Services station.
-
-## View Hardware Status
-In MultiPoint Manager, you can use the **Stations** tab to view the status of the stations and hardware devices that are connected to the MultiPoint Services computer. For more information about how to view the status of your MultiPoint Services computer and the hardware devices that are connected to it, see the [View Hardware Status](View-Hardware-Status.md) topic.
-
-## Work with USB Devices
-When USB devices and other peripheral hardware devices are connected to the MultiPoint Services system, they function differently when they are connected to the MultiPoint Services computer than when they are connected to a MultiPoint Services station. The [Work with USB Devices](Work-with-USB-Devices.md) topic describes how different hardware devices might function in these scenarios and provides detailed information about how to work with station hubs.
-
-## Work with Video Devices
-The [Work with Video Devices](Work-with-Video-Devices.md) topic discusses how video devices, such as a monitor or projector, function when they are connected to a computer in your MultiPoint Services system or to a MultiPoint Services station.

-## Set Up a Station
-The [Set Up a Station](Set-Up-a-Station.md) topic describes how to connect peripheral hardware devices to a MultiPoint Services station hub to create a MultiPoint Services station. MultiPoint Services supports two types of station hubs:
-
-- An externally powered or bus-powered multi-port *USB hub* that can support a mouse, keyboard, and other USB peripheral devices
-
-- A *multifunction hub* that can include an integrated video controller and ports for mouse, keyboard, and audio peripheral devices
-
-Both types of station hubs connect to the computer by way of a USB cable. Procedures in the [Set Up a Station](Set-Up-a-Station.md) topic describe how to connect hardware devices to each type of station hub.

-# Manage User Desktops Using MultiPoint Dashboard
-In a MultiPoint Services system, a desktop is the software user interface presented on the monitor for each user *station*. The MultiPoint Dashboard is a tool which helps you manage those desktops.
-
-In MultiPoint Dashboard, on the **Home** tab, you can do the following:
-
-- View desktops
-You can view the thumbnail images for each active desktop. For information about viewing thumbnails, see the [View Options for Session Thumbnails](View-Options-for-Session-Thumbnails-in-MultiPoint-Dashboard.md) topic.
-- Block or unblock stations
-You can block and unblock stations. You can also customize a message to display on blocked stations. For more information about blocking or unblocking stations, or creating a message to display on blocked stations, see the [Block or Unblock a Station](Block-or-Unblock-a-Station.md) topic.
-- Limit web use
-You can configure which websites users can visit. For information about setting websites, see the [Limit Web Access](Limit-Web-Access.md) topic.
-- Block or unblock USB storage
-You can block and unblock USB storage either per station or for all station. When storage is blocked, users cannot use any USB storage devices on their stations. See the [Block or Unblock USB Storage](Block-or-Unblock-USB-Storage.md) topic.
-- Project a station to another station
-You can project your station to another station or stations. You can also project a different selected station to all other stations. For information about projecting a station, see the [Project a Station to Other Stations](Project-a-Station-to-Other-Stations.md) topic.
-- Launch or close applications on a station
-You can launch or close applications on a station. For information about launching or closing applications, see the [Launch or Close Applications on a Station](Launch-or-Close-Applications-on-a-Station.md) topic.
-- Use IM
-You can chat with selected users. The chat message is only visible to the Dashboard user and the user of the selected session. See [Use IM](Use-IM.md) for more information.
-- Change the size of thumbnail images
-You can change the size of the thumbnails that display in MultiPoint Dashboard. For information about changing the thumbnail size, see [View Options for Session Thumbnails](View-Options-for-Session-Thumbnails-in-MultiPoint-Dashboard.md).
-- Show all stations
-You can view all of the stations that are connected to your system, including stations that are not active. For information about viewing all stations, see the [Show All Stations](Show-All-Stations.md) topic.

----
-# Manage User Files
-Both standard users and administrative users at MultiPoint Services stations can save documents in Windows Explorer libraries and folders. A library is a collection of items, such as files and folders. Common libraries in Windows Explorer include **Documents**, **Music**, **Pictures**, and **Videos**. When working with libraries, there are two options for storing documents:
-
-- Store documents privately so that they are accessible only to the user who stored them in a library or folder. Note that administrative users can access privately stored documents of standard users. However, standard users cannot access privately stored documents of administrative users. For more information about keeping content private, see the [Keep Files Private](Keep-Files-Private.md) topic.
-
-- Store documents publicly so that they are accessible to all users on the MultiPoint Services system. For more information about sharing content with other users, see the [Share Files](Share-Files.md) topic.
-
-The **Documents** library, by default, includes two folders: **My Documents** (which is private) and **Public Documents** (which is public). Other document libraries contain similar pairs of private and public folders. All administrative and standard users of a MultiPoint Services system should understand how the Windows Explorer location at which they put documents and other files can affect the privacy or public access of those files.
-
-You can also share content with other users by using a USB storage device such as a USB flash drive or mass storage device (external hard disk). For more information about sharing content with storage devices, see the [Save and Share Files on a USB Flash Drive](Save-and-Share-Files-on-a-USB-Flash-Drive.md) topic.

-# Manage User Stations
-This section discusses managing the *stations* that make up the MultiPoint Services system. Managing a MultiPoint Services system includes both managing the hardware and software components of MultiPoint Manager. In a MultiPoint Services system, a desktop is the software user interface presented on the monitor for each user station.
-
-## Station status
-You can view the following types of status for each desktop on the **Stations** tab. Status includes:
-
-- Users who are logged on
-
-- User sessions that are suspended, but are still active on the computer
-
-- Which stations are being used and by which user
-
-For more information about viewing desktop status, see the [View User Connection Status](View-User-Connection-Status.md) topic.
-
->[!TIP]
-> You can assign friendly names to each station, which might help you identify the stations more easily. Use **Identify station**, which dipslays the station name on the assigned screen.
-
-## Different ways to log standard users off of the MultiPoint Services system
-As an *administrative user*, you can log off Windows at any time, which will have no effect on active users in your MultiPoint Services system. *Standard users* can *disconnect* their session or *log off* the MultiPoint Services system too. In the care where disk protection is enabled, if a user is leaving for the day, they should make sure to save their work on the computer or an external storage device so that when the MultiPoint Services system is shut down, the user can still retrieve their saved work another day.
-
-As an administrative user, you might need to end a standard user's *session*, rather than having the user log off. You can end a standard user's session in one of two ways:
-
-- End the session and log the user off. For more information about ending a user's session, see the [End a User Session](End-a-User-Session.md) topic.
-
-- Suspend the user to temporarily end the user's session, but keep the session active in the MultiPoint Services system's computer memory. The suspended user can then reconnect to the session from the same station or a different station and continue his or her work. For more information about suspending a user's session, see the [Suspend and Leave User Session Active](Suspend-and-Leave-User-Session-Active.md) topic.
-
-## Set a station to automatically log on
-As an administrative user, you can set up one or more stations to automatically log on when the computer that is running MultiPoint Services starts. For more information about automatically logging on, see the [Set Up a Station for Automatic Logon](Set-up-a-Station-for-Automatic-Logon.md) topic.
-
-## Split a station
-Any station monitor that has a resolution greater than 1024x768 can be split into two stations. For more information about splitting a station, see the [Split a User Station](Split-a-User-Station.md) topic.

-
-4. Enter a name and password for the local administrator account that will be used to log on to all virtual station desktops that are created from the template, and then click **OK**.
-
- The template creation takes several minutes to complete.
-
- Next, learn how to customize the virtual desk template.
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > If the MultiPoint server is domain-joined, the dialog populates an additional field which allows you to say whether the virtual machines that were created from the template should be joined to a domain.
-
-## Import a virtual desktop template
-In the case where you have created a virtual desktop template on another MultiPoint server, you can import that template using the following steps.
-
-1. Open MultiPoint Manager, and then click the **Virtual Desktops** tab.
-
-2. Under the VDI tasks, click **Import Virtual desktop template**.
-
-3. Locate the template and define path and prefix for the imported template.

-
-1. Open MultiPoint Manager, and then click the **Virtual Desktops** tab.
-2. Choose the virtual desktop template, and then click **Customize virtual desktop template**.
-The template opens in a separate window, and additional instructions are presented that highlight the most important steps for customizing the virtual template. Carefully review those instructions.
-
-## Create virtual desktop stations
-
-1. Open MultiPoint Manager in station mode, and then click the **Virtual Desktops** tab.
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > If the MultiPoint Services system is not running in station mode, restart it before completing this procedure.
-
-2. Select the virtual desktop template in the left\-hand pane. It is named .
-
-3. Under template Tasks, click **Create virtual desktop stations**, and then click **OK**.
-
- The virtual desktop station creation process takes several minutes.
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > If any of the local stations are currently connected to a session\-based virtual desktop, you must log off of those stations in order for them to connect to one of the newly created virtual desktop stations.
-
-### Validate the newly created customized virtual station desktops
-
-You can validate your customized virtual station desktops by logging on to one or more of the virtual desktop stations using either a local administrator account or a domain account, and then verify that the new VM\-based virtual desktops are working properly.
-
-## Disable Virtual Desktops
-
-When disabling virtual desktops the Hyper-V feature will be turned off. All users will be logged off and the system will be restarted. All virtual stations are assigned to MultiPoint local sessions after restart of the system.
-
-1. Open MultiPoint Manager in station mode, and then click the **Virtual Desktops** tab.
-
-2. Under the VDI Tasks click **Disable virtual desktops**.

-# MultiPoint Services
-MultiPoint Services is a solution that allows multiple users, each with their own independent and familiar Windows experience, to simultaneously share one computer.
-
-User stations, consisting of a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, are directly connected to the host computer through USB or video cables. Because MultiPoint Services is a genuine Microsoft published software product, when properly licensed, you are eligible to receive support by Microsoft or an authorized partner. This gives you the full capabilities of Windows, access to all the latest updates, and confidence that you are achieving the experience you expect.
-
-Because MultiPoint Services enables multiple users to share one computer, it can provide a low-cost alternative to traditional computing scenarios where each user has their own computer. MultiPoint Services also provides an easy management solution for MultiPoint Services system administration known as MultiPoint Manager and an easy management solution for day\-to\-day administration, known as MultiPoint Dashboard.

----
-# MultiPoint Services Site Planning
-You should consider the location where one or more computers running MultiPoint Services and its associated stations will be deployed.
-
-The computer that is running MultiPoint Services role should have convenient access to a power supply and to the peripheral devices that are connected directly to it, such as a printer. Additionally, the computer running MultiPoint Services must have convenient access to a network connection. A network connection is required for accessing the Internet, and where available, a LAN.
-
-Additional factors to consider include the following:
-
-- Will the MultiPoint Services system be set up in a specific room, or will it be set up on a rolling cart or table, so that it can be moved from place to place?
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > If you plan to use a mobile setup, you can *associate* the stations with MultiPoint Services every time you reconnect them to make sure that each keyboard and mouse is associated with the appropriate monitor.
-
-- Will the primary station be located next to the other stations, or will it be separate? For example, if the MultiPoint Services system is set up in a classroom, will the primary station be on the teacher's desk and the standard stations positioned elsewhere in the room? When the computer running MultiPoint Services is restarted, the primary station will have access to the startup screens. If you are concerned about this level of access in a classroom setting, you may prefer to put the primary station at the teacher's desk.
-
-- How many stations will fit in the room?
-
-- Do you need a network? A single server solution that uses direct video connected or USB zero client connected stations does not need a network.
-
-- Are there enough network connections in the room to support the required number of computers running MultiPoint Services
-
-- Where are the power outlets located?
-
-- Will you need an additional display device, such as a projector? If you plan to use a projector, will it hang from the ceiling, or will it be positioned on a table?
-
-- What kind of cables will be required, and how many will be needed?
-
-- Consider how you might want to expand in the future. Will you be adding more stations?
-
-## Station layout and configuration
-The physical layout of your site may affect your choice of station type. For more details about the different station types, refer to [MultiPoint Stations](MultiPoint-services-Stations.md) in this guide. Multiple station types are allowed on a single MultiPoint Services. This provides you with extra flexibility to meet your installation needs.
-
-### Layout for direct-video-connected stations
-
-- For a direct-video-connected station, the distance between the monitors and computer is limited by the video cable length.
-
-- Using intermediate hubs or daisy-chained station hubs is supported for ease-of-deployment, but the maximum recommended number of consecutive hubs is three. This means that the maximum distance from the computer to the station hub is 15 meters, because each USB 2.0 cable has the maximum length of five meters.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> There should always be at least one direct video connected station per computer to act as the primary station.
-
-### Layout for USB zero client connected stations
-
-- Using intermediate hubs or daisy-chained station hubs is supported for ease-of-deployment, but the maximum recommended number of consecutive hubs is three. This means that the maximum distance from the computer to the station hub is 15 meters, because each USB 2.0 cable has the maximum length of five meters.
-
-- The maximum recommended number of USB zero clients connected to a single intermediate hub is three.
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > Some computers come with a generic hub on the motherboard, which has the effect of adding an additional hub between the *root hub* of the computer and the station hubs.
-
-- If video will be heavily used, it is recommended that you connect no more than two USB zero clients to a USB port on the server. For example, if an intermediate hub is used, only two USB zero clients should be connected to it. Or if you are daisy chaining USB zero clients, only two USB zero clients should be chained together. The addition of each USB zero client to the USB port on the server decreases the video bandwidth available.
-
-- If you plan to connect more than three USB zero clients to a single USB port on the server, using USB 3.0 between the server and the intermediate hub is recommended.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> It is recommended that you verify the performance by using your applications and hardware to decide how many USB zero clients you can connect to a USB port on the server.
-
-
-
-**Figure 5** MultiPoint Services system with three USB zero clients connected to a single intermediate hub
-
-### Layout for RDP-over-LAN connected stations
-There are no physical distance limitations for LAN clients. As long as they are on the LAN, they can connect to the MultiPoint Services system.
-
-## Using additional hubs
-Additional hubs can be used to make installation easier. There are three types of hubs that are used on a MultiPoint Services system:
-
-- [Station hubs](#station-hubs)
-
-- [Intermediate hubs](#intermediate-hubs)
-
-- [Downstream hubs](#downstream-hubs)
-
-### Station hubs
-A station hub is an external hub that has been associated with a MultiPoint Services station. As a minimum, the station hub will have a keyboard plugged-in to it. It may also have additional peripherals attached. A station hub can be a generic USB hub that conforms to the USB 2.0 or later specification. Station hubs should be externally powered if high-powered devices will plugin to them.
-
-**Root hub** A USB hub that is built-in to the host controller on a computer's motherboard is known as a *root hub*. Station hubs are generally plugged-in to the root hub on the computer running MultiPoint Services.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Root hubs should not be used as station hubs. When USB ports are built-in to a computer, often it is not possible to determine which USB root hub they are internally connected to. As such, if you plugged-in a station keyboard and mouse directly to the USB ports of the computer, you may actually be plugging-in the keyboard and mouse to different USB root hubs. To guarantee that the keyboard and mouse are on the same hub, plug-in a station hub to the computer's USB port, and then plug-in the keyboard and mouse to that station hub.
-
-**Daisy chaining stations** It may be easier to connect station hubs to another station hub rather than directly to the computer. This allows you to connect a USB hub to a station hub that is already plugged-in to the computer, so that you have a station hub attached to another station hub.
-
-There should be no more than three USB zero clients or station hubs daisy chained consecutively. Care must be taken that the USB bandwidth is not exceeded when daisy chaining station hubs.
-
-
-
-**Figure 6** MultiPoint Services system with daisy-chained stations
-
-### Intermediate hubs
-An intermediate hub is a hub that is between the server and a station hub. It is typically used to increase the number of ports that are available for station hubs or to extend the distance of the stations from the computer. It is recommended that no more than two intermediate hubs are used between a station hub and the server.
-
-Intermediate hubs must be USB 2.0 or later, and they must be externally powered. USB 3.0 is recommended between the server and the intermediate hub if you are connecting more than three USB zero clients to an intermediate hub.
-
-### Downstream hubs
-A downstream hub is connected to a station hub to add more available ports for station devices. A downstream hub can be externally powered or bus-powered, depending on the devices that are plugged-in to the hub.
-
-
-
-**Figure 7** MultiPoint Services system with an intermediate hub, a station hub, and a downstream hub
-
-## Users, stations, and computers
-The number of stations you will need depends on the number of people who will have to access the computers running MultiPoint Services at the same time. Similarly, the number of computers running MultiPoint Services you will need depends on the total number of stations required. Direct-video-connected stations, USB-zero-client-connected stations, and RDP-over-LAN-connected stations are all considered stations. In addition, if the split-screen functionality is used, each half is considered a station.
-
-## Power considerations
-The following components require access to a power strip or outlet:
-
-- Server
-- Monitors
-- Intermediate hubs \(if used\)
-- Some USB zero clients
-- Powered USB devices, such as some external storage devices and DVD drives
-
-## Sample MultiPoint Services system layouts
-Depending on the available furniture, the size of the room, the number of computers that are running MultiPoint Services, and the stations in the room, there are a variety of ways that the physical stations can be arranged. The following diagrams illustrate five possible alternatives.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Some of these diagrams show a projector connected to the MultiPoint Services system. This is only an example; including a projector in a MultiPoint Services system is optional.
-
-**Computer lab** In this setup, the stations are arranged around the walls of the room, with the students facing the walls.
-
-
-
-**Groups** In this setup, there are three computers that are running MultiPoint Services, with stations clustered around each computer.
-
-
-
-**Lecture room** In this setup, the stations are set up in rows. An advantage of this setup is that all of the students face the instructor.
-
-
-
-**Activity center** This setup consists of a traditional lecture-room layout for the desks, and it has a separate area with a single computer that is running MultiPoint Services with its associated stations.
-
-
-
-**Small business office** In this setup, the computer that is running MultiPoint Services is placed in a central location and users throughout the office connect to it by using a local area network \(LAN\).

-# MultiPoint Stations
-In a MultiPoint Services system environment, *stations* are the user endpoints for connecting to the computer running MultiPoint Services. Each station provides the user with an independent Windows 10 experience. The following station types are supported:
-
-- Direct-video-connected stations
-
-- USB-zero-client-connected stations (including USB-over-Ethernet zero clients)
-
-- RDP-over-LAN-connected stations (for rich client or thin client computers)
-
-Full PCs that have the MultiPoint Connector installed can also be monitored and controlled using the MultiPoint Dashboard. On Windows 10 the MultiPoint Connector can be enabled through the control panel for Windows features.
-
-Multipoint Services supports any combination of these station types, but it is recommended that one station be a direct-video-connected station, which can serve as the primary station. The reason for this recommendation is to be able to anticipate support scenarios. For example, to interact with the system's BIOS before MultiPoint Services is running.
-
-## Primary stations and standard stations
-One direct-video-connected station is defined as the *primary station*. The remaining stations are referred to as *standard stations*.
-
-The primary station displays the startup screens when the computer is turned on. It provides access to system configuration and troubleshooting information that is only available during startup. The primary station must be a direct-video-connected station. After startup, you can use the primary station like any other MultiPoint station.
-
-## Direct-video-connected stations
-The computer running MultiPoint Services can contain multiple video cards, each of which can have one or more video ports. This allows you to plug monitors for multiple stations directly into the computer. Keyboards and mice are connected through USB hubs that are associated with each monitor. These hubs are referred to as *station hubs*. Other peripheral devices, such as speakers, headphones, or USB storage devices can also be connected to a station hub, and they are available only to the user of that station.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> There should be at least one *direct-video-connected station* per server to act as the primary station to display the startup process when the computer is turned on.
-
-
-
-**Figure 1** MultiPoint services system with four direct-video-connected stations
-
-### PS/2 stations
-With MultiPoint Services, you can map the PS/2 keyboard and mouse on the motherboard to a direct video connected monitor to create a PS/2 station. High-definition analog audio on the motherboard is the audio associated with this type of station. This does not apply to computers where there are no PS/2 jacks on the motherboard.
-
-## USB-zero-client-connected stations
-USB-zero-client-connected stations utilize a *USB zero client* as a station hub. USB zero clients are sometimes referred to as a multifunction hub with video. They are a hub that connects to the computer through a USB cable, and these hubs typically support a video monitor, a mouse and keyboard (PS/2 or USB), audio, and additional USB devices. This guide refers to these specialized hubs as USB zero clients.
-
-The following diagram shows a MultiPoint server system with a primary station (direct video connected station) and two additional USB zero client connected stations.
-
-
-
-**Figure 2** MultiPoint Services system with a primary station and two USB zero-client-connected stations
-
-### USB-over-Ethernet zero clients
-USB-over-Ethernet zero clients are a variation of USB zero clients that send USB over LAN to the MultiPoint Services system. These types of USB zero clients function similarly to other USB zero clients, but are not limited by USB cable length maximums. USB-over-Ethernet zero clients are not traditional thin clients, and they appear as virtual USB devices on the MultiPoint Services system. When using these devices, refer to the device manufacturer for specific performance and site planning recommendations. Most devices have a third-party plugin for MultiPoint Manager that allows you to associate and connect devices to the MultiPoint Services system.
-
-## RDP-over-LAN connected stations
-Thin clients and traditional desktop, laptop, or tablet computers, can connect to the computer running MultiPoint Services through the local area network (LAN) by using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or a proprietary protocol and the Remote Desktop Protocol Provider. RDP connections provide an end-user experience that is very similar to any other MultiPoint station, but makes use of the local client computer's hardware. Learn more about our remote desktop applications available for Android, iOS, Mac and Windows in [Remote Desktop clients](../remote-desktop-services/clients/remote-desktop-clients.md).
-
-Clients and devices that are running Microsoft RemoteFX can provide a rich multimedia experience by taking advantage of the processor and video hardware capabilities of the local thin client or computer to provide high-definition video over the network.
-
-If you have existing LAN clients MultiPoint Services can provide a quick and cost effective way to simultaneously upgrade all of your users to a Windows 10 experience.
-
-From a deployment and administration perspective, the following differences exist when you use RDP-over-LAN-connected stations:
-
-- Not limited to physical USB connection distances
-
-- Potential to reuse older computer hardware as stations
-
-- Easier to scale to a higher number of stations. Any client on your network can potentially be used as a remote station
-
-- No hardware troubleshooting through the MultiPoint Manager console
-
-- No split-screen functionality.
-
- For more information, see [Split-screen Stations](#split-screen-stations) later in this topic
-
-- No station rename or configuring automatic logon through the MultiPoint Manager console
-
-
-
-**Figure 3** MultiPoint Services system with RDP-over-LAN-connected stations
-
-## Additional configuration options
-
-### Split-screen stations
-MultiPoint Services offers a split screen option on computers with direct-video-connected stations or USB-zero-client-connected stations. A split screen provides the ability to create an additional station per monitor. Instead of requiring two monitors, you can use one monitor with two station hub setups to create two stations with one monitor. You can quickly increase the number of available stations without purchasing additional monitors, USB-zero clients, or video cards.
-
-The benefits of using a split-screen station can include:
-
-- Reducing cost and space by accommodating more users on a MultiPoint Services system.
-
-- Allowing two users to collaborate side-by-side on a project.
-
-- Allowing a teacher to demonstrate a procedure on one station while a student follows along on the other station.
-
-Any MultiPoint Services station monitor that has a 1024x768 resolution or greater can be split into two station screens. For the best split screen user experience, a wide screen with a minimum 1600x900 resolution is recommended. A mini keyboard without a number pad is also recommended to allow the two keyboards to fit in front of the monitor.
-
-To create split-screen stations, you set up one direct-video-connected or USB-zero-client-connected station. Then you add an additional station hub by plugging in a keyboard and mouse to a USB hub that is connected to the server. You can then convert the station into two stations by using MultiPoint Manager to split the screen and map the new hub to half of the monitor. The left half of the screen becomes one station and the right half becomes a second station.
-
-After a station is split, one user can log on to the left station while another user logs on to the right station.
-
-

-# MultiPoint Services Virtualization Support
-MultiPoint Services supports the Hyper-V role in two ways:
-
-- MultiPoint Services can be deployed as a guest operating system on a server running Hyper-V.
-
-- MultiPoint Services can be used as a virtualization server.
-
-Running MultiPoint Services on a virtual machine provides the use of the Hyper-V tools to manage operating systems. These tools include checkpoint and rollback features, and they allow you to export and import virtual machines. For larger installations, you can consolidate servers by running multiple MultiPoint Services virtual computers on a single physical server. Possible scenarios include:
-
-- A single classroom or lab has more than 20 seats. Rather than deploying multiple physical computers running MultiPoint Services, you can deploy multiple virtual machines on a single physical computer.
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > You can manage multiple MultiPoint servers, whether physical or virtual, through a single MultiPoint Manager console.
-
-- The MultiPoint server is running on a virtual machine with another server infrastructure on the same physical computer. In that case this server infrastructure centralizes the domain, security, and data for the network. The MultiPoint server provides Remote Desktop Services and centralizes the desktops.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> When running MultiPoint Services on a virtual machine, USB-over-Ethernet and RDP client stations are supported. Direct video and USB zero client connected stations are not supported.
-
-For more information about the Hyper-V role, see [Hyper-V](../../virtualization/hyper-v/hyper-v-on-windows-server.md).

-# Network Considerations and User Accounts
-MultiPoint Services can be deployed in a variety of network environments, and it can support local user accounts and domain user accounts. Generally, MultiPoint Services user accounts will be managed in one of the following network environments:
-
-- A single computer running MultiPoint Services with local user accounts
-
-- Multiple computers running MultiPoint Services, each with a local user account
-
-- Multiple computers running MultiPoint Services and that are using domain user accounts
-
-By definition, *local user accounts* can only be accessed from the computer on which they were created. Local user accounts are user accounts that are created on a specific computer that is running MultiPoint Services. In contrast, *domain user accounts* are user accounts that reside on a domain controller, and they can be accessed from any computer that is connected to the domain. When you are deciding which type of network environment to use, consider the following:
-
-- Will resources be shared among servers?
-
-- Will users be switching between servers?
-
-- Will users access database servers that require authentication?
-
-- Will users access internal web servers that require authentication?
-
-- Is there an existing Active Directory domain infrastructure in place?
-
-- Who will be using the MultiPoint Manager console to manage user desktops, view thumbnails, add users, limit websites, and so on? Will this person be managing more than one server? This person must have administrative privileges on the servers.
-
-The following sections address user account management in these networking environments.
-
-## Single MultiPoint Server with local user accounts
-In environments with a single computer that is running MultiPoint Services, there is no requirement to have a network. However, to take advantage of Internet resources, the networking requirements may be as basic as a router and a connection to an Internet service provider (ISP). Network connections that are associated with a network adapter on MultiPoint Services are configured, by default, to obtain an IP address and DNS server address automatically through DHCP. Internet routers are typically configured as DHCP servers, and they provide private IP addresses to computers that connect to them on the internal network. Therefore, a single computer running MultiPoint Services may be able to connect to the internal interface of the router, obtain automatic IP information, and connect to the Internet without significant effort or configuration by an administrator.
-
-A common way to manage users in this kind of environment is to create a local user account for each person who will access the system. Anyone who has a local user account on that computer can log on to MultiPoint Services from any station that is associated with the system. Local user accounts can be created and managed from MultiPoint Manager.
-
-## Multiple MultiPoint Server systems with local user accounts
-Given that local user accounts are only accessible from the computer on which they were created, when you deploy multiple MultiPoint Services systems in an environment, you can manage local user accounts in one of two ways:
-
-- You can create user accounts for specific individuals on specific computers running MultiPoint Services.
-
-- You can use MultiPoint Manager to create accounts for every user on every computer running MultiPoint Services.
-
-For example, if you plan to assign users to a specific computer running MultiPoint Services, you might create four local user accounts on Computer A (user01, user02, user03, and user04) and four local user accounts on Computer B (user05, user06, user07, and user08). In this scenario, users 01\-04 can log on to Computer A from any station that is connected to it; however, they cannot log on to Computer B. The same is true for users 05\-08, who would be able to log on only to Computer B, but not to Computer A. Depending on the specific deployment environment, this can be acceptable or even desirable.
-
-However, if every user must be able to log on to any of the computers running MultiPoint Services, a local user account must be created for each user on each computer that is running MultiPoint Services. Choosing to manage users in this manner introduces certain complexities. For example, if user01 logs on to Computer A on Monday and saves a file in the Documents folder, and then the user logs on to Computer B on Tuesday, the file that was saved in the Documents folder on Computer A will not be accessible on Computer B.
-
-Additionally, if a user has accounts on Computer A and Computer B, there is no way to automatically synchronize the passwords for the accounts. This can result in users having difficulty logging on should the account password be changed on one computer, but not the other. You can simplify user account management in this kind of network environment by assigning each user to a single computer that is running MultiPoint Services. This way, the user can log on to any of the stations that are associated with that computer and access the appropriate files.
-
-## Multiple MultiPoint Services systems with domain accounts
-Domain environments are common in large network environments that include multiple servers. For example, you might join one or more computers running the MultiPoint Services role to a domain, and then use Microsoft Active Directory to manage user accounts that can be accessed from any computer in the domain. This allows for individual domain user accounts to be created and accessed from any station in any MultiPoint Services system that is joined to the domain.
-
-When you deploy MultiPoint Services in a domain environment, there are several factors to consider:
-
-- If domain accounts are used, they cannot be managed from MultiPoint Manager.
-
-- By default, MultiPoint Services is configured to give each user permission to log on to only one station at a time. If you decide to allow users to log on to multiple stations at the same time using a single account, you can use the **Edit Server Settings** option in MultiPoint Manager.
-
-- The location of domain controllers may affect the speed and reliability with which users will be able to authenticate with the domain and locate resources.
-
-## Single user account for multiple stations
-MultiPoint Services has the ability to log on to multiple stations on the same computer simultaneously using a single user account. This feature is useful in environments where users are not given unique user names, and where using a single user account can simplify the management of the MultiPoint Services system.

----
-# Plan user accounts for your MultiPoint Services environment
-The best way to implement user accounts in MultiPoint Services depends on the size and complexity of your deployment:
-
-- **Local user accounts** - For a small deployment with only a few computers running MultiPoind Services and few users, you might find it most convenient to use *local user accounts* that are created on MultiPoint Services. You can create an individual account for each person who will use the system, or create a generic account for each station, which anyone can use to log on. MultiPoint Services administrators create and manage local user accounts by using MultiPoint Manager. The local accounts can be administrators, have limited administrative rights, or be regular users with no access to the MultiPoint Services Desktop or MultiPoint Manager.
-
-- **Domain accounts** - If your environment has many computers running MultiPoint Services and many users, you probably will find it more useful to set up an Active Directory Domain Services \(AD DS\) domain and use *domain user accounts*, which enable a user to access her own user profile and settings from any station in the domain. Domain user accounts must be created on the domain controller by a domain administrator.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> The following sections discuss scenarios that you might implement for local user accounts in MultiPoint Services. If you are using domain user accounts, see the "One or more MultiPoint servers in a domain network environment" scenario in [Example scenarios: MultiPoint Services user accounts](./multipoint-users-scenario.md).
-
-## Planning local user accounts
-The following sections consider the advantages, disadvantages, and requirements for several ways to implement individual or shared local user accounts in your Windows MultiPoint Services environment.
-
-### Use individual local user accounts
-When creating local user accounts, you have the option two approaches. Assign each user to a particular server running MultiPoint Services and creating a single account for each user. Or create local user accounts for all user on every computer running Multipoint services. A key advantage of implementing individual user accounts is that each user has his or her own Windows desktop experience that includes private folders for storing data.
-
-From a system management perspective, assigning users to a specific MultiPoint Services computer might be more convenient. For example, if you have two MultiPoint servers with five stations each, you might create local user accounts as illustrated in the following table.
-
-**Table 1: Assigning local user accounts to specific computers running MultiPoint Services**
-
-|Computer A|Computer B|
-|--------------|--------------|
-|UserAccount_01|UserAccount_06|
-|UserAccount_02|UserAccount_07|
-|UserAccount_03|UserAccount_08|
-|UserAccount_04|UserAccount_09|
-|UserAccount_05|UserAccount_10|
-
-In this scenario, each user has a single account on a particular computer. Therefore, everyone who has a local account on Computer A can log on to her or his account from any station associated with Computer A. However, these users cannot access their accounts if they use a station associated with Computer B, and vice versa. An advantage to this approach is that, by always connecting to the same computer, users can always find and access their files.
-
-In contrast, it is also possible to replicate individual user accounts on all computers running MultiPoint Services, as illustrated in the following table.
-
-**Table 2: Replicating user accounts on all computers running MultiPoint Services**
-
-|Computer A|Computer B|
-|--------------|--------------|
-|UserAccount_01|UserAccount_01|
-|UserAccount_02|UserAccount_02|
-|UserAccount_03|UserAccount_03|
-|UserAccount_04|UserAccount_04|
-|UserAccount_05|UserAccount_05|
-
-An advantage of this approach is that users have a local user account on every available MultiPoint Services. However, the disadvantages might outweigh this advantage. For example, even if the user name and password for a particular person are the same on both computers, the accounts are not linked to each other. Therefore, if a user logs on to his or her account on Computer A on Monday, saves a file, and then logs on to his or her account on Computer B on Tuesday, he or she will not be able to access the file previously saved on Computer A. Additionally, replicating user accounts on multiple computers increases the administrative overhead and storage requirements.
-
-### Use generic local user accounts
-If your MultiPoint Services system is not connected to a domain, and you do not want to create an individual account for each user, you can create generic accounts for each station. For example, if you have two computers running MultiPoint Services, and five stations are associated with each computer, you might decide to create user accounts similar to those shown in the following table.
-
-**Table 3: Creating generic user accounts, one account per station**
-
-|Computer A|Computer B|
-|--------------|--------------|
-|Computer_A-Station_01|Computer_B-Station_01|
-|Computer_A-Station_02|Computer_B-Station_02|
-|Computer_A-Station_03|Computer_B-Station_03|
-|Computer_A-Station_04|Computer_B-Station_04|
-|Computer_A-Station_05|Computer_B-Station_05|
-
-In this scenario, every station account has the same password, and both the passwords and generic user account names are available to all users. An advantage to this approach is that the overhead of managing user accounts is likely to be less than if using individual accounts, because there typically are fewer stations than users. Additionally, the overhead caused by replicating user accounts on every server is eliminated.
-
-Another option is to create generic accounts on each server. Every user logs on to a server as the same account. To allow this, you must enable multiple sessions per account. You can further simplify by using the same account name and password on all servers. This simplifies logon for the users, who need only know one account name and password to use any station on any server. It should be noted that in this scenario all users can see any change that any user makes. For example, if a file is saved to the desktop, all users can see the file.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> It is important to understand that when users share a user account, either one per server or one per station, files saved on the server – even files saved in My Documents - are not private. Any user who logs on with the account has access to those files. When you use one account per station, if a user saves files to My Documents on one station, the user does not have access to those files on a different station. The same occurs when logging on to different MultiPoint Services computers.
-
-To enable users to access their files from any station, you can use a file server, create a file share for each user account, or let users store their personal documents on a USB flash drive or other private storage device. Individual USB flash drives enable individual users to store private documents even if they are sharing a user account on a MultiPoint Services.

-MultiPoint Services enables multiple stations to be connected to one computer. Multiple users can then share one computer at the same time. Each station consists of a station hub, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. MultiPoint Services includes the MultiPoint Manager application, which helps you, as an administrative user, to monitor and manage MultiPoint stations, and the MultiPoint Dashboard application, which provides day-to-day administrative functionality.

-# Prepare your MultiPoint Services system for users
-After you install and configure MultiPoint Services, and perform any additional configuration and hardware setups, you are ready to give users access to the system. You will need to plan and create user accounts. In some environments, you also need to configure stations for auto-logon and allow multiple sessions for your shared user accounts. And you need to decide how to set up file sharing for your users. All of these topics are covered in this section.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> After you create your user accounts and make the other configuration updates to prepare for users, we recommend that you turn on Disk Protection so that no user can inadvertently make changes to system files and settings. For more information, see [Configure Disk Protection](Configure-Disk-Protection-in-MultiPoint-services.md).
-
-Use the following information to prepare your system:
-[Plan user accounts for your MultiPoint services environment](Plan-user-accounts-for-your-MultiPoint-services-environment.md)
-[Example scenarios for user accounts creation](./multipoint-users-scenario.md)
-[Create local user accounts in MultiPoint Services](Create-local-user-accounts.md)

----
-# Privacy and Security Considerations
-Because your MultiPoint Services system is, by design, a shared computing environment, you should consider the following privacy and safe computing issues.
-
-## Privacy in a MultiPoint Services system
-The capabilities of MultiPoint Services to share or keep private user documents may be new to you, other *administrative users*, *MultiPoint Dashboard users*, or *standard users* on your MultiPoint Services system. In MultiPoint Manager, you can see screen activity on all active standard user desktops. Standard users are notified when they log on to the MultiPoint Services system, and must accept this monitoring in order to proceed. For more information about how to share content or keep it private, see [Manage User Files](Manage-User-Files.md).
-
-## Security in a MultiPoint Services system
-As an administrative user of your MultiPoint Services system, become familiar with the security and safe computing capabilities in Windows. These include Windows automatic updating and support for firewalls, virus protection, and spyware and other malware protection.
-
-Shared computing resources, such as a MultiPoint Services system, may be prone to security threats due to the potentially large number of users of the system and the easy access to station hardware devices and wires. A malicious user may attempt to insert a keystroke logger or similar device at a MultiPoint Services station hub. If you see devices attached to any ports on your MultiPoint Services system that you do not recognize, consider it suspect and follow the security escalation guidelines of your organization.

-# Protecting the System Volume with Disk Protection
-MultiPoint Services provides the option to instantly erase any changes to the system volume each time the computer is started. If you enable the Disk Protection feature, any modifications to the drive, such as configuration corruption or the introduction of malware, are undone the next time the computer restarts. This is a convenient feature for administrators who want to ensure that a known "good" or "golden" software image is loaded every time. Automatic updates or software patching can be scheduled, for example, in the middle of the night. The planning consideration is whether you want to have end users be able to make changes, such as installing software, from the Internet. With this feature enabled, if you want users to be able to store files, the file share will need to be outside of the system volume.

-# Restart or Shut Down
-You might have to restart the host computer and all of the *stations* in your MultiPoint Services system if instructed after you install hardware, software, and software updates. If you have added new hardware devices to a station, you might also want to associate the hardware devices to that station. For more information about how to *associate stations*, see the [Switch Between Modes](Switch-Between-Modes.md) topic.
-
-To turn off your MultiPoint Services system's computer safely, the computer must perform a shutdown process that closes any open programs, shuts down Windows, and turns off your computer and its associated *stations*. Do not just unplug or press the **Power** button to turn off your computer. You should shut down your computer at the end of the day and when you must install new hardware enclosed in the computer case. If you add other hardware to the system, you may also need to shut down or restart the server.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Before you restart or shut down the computer that is running MultiPoint Services, all user *sessions* must have ended.

-# Save and Share Files on a USB Flash Drive
-In addition to being able to share content using Public folders in Windows Explorer, you can also share content using a USB storage device, such as a USB flash drive or mass storage device. When you attach a USB storage device directly to the host computer or to a USB hub that is not a station hub, that storage device will appear as a removable storage device to all users, *standard users* and *administrative users*, across the MultiPoint Services system.
-
-You can also use a removable storage device to save and store private documents in a private folder in Windows Explorer, such as the **My Documents** folder in the **Documents** library.
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > The Dashboard user can block the usage of USB storage. For more information, see [Block or Unblock USB Storage](Block-or-Unblock-USB-Storage.md).
-
-## To share content that is stored directly on a removable storage device
-
-1. Connect the removable storage device to an open USB port on the host computer or a USB hub that is not a *station hub* in the MultiPoint Services system.
-2. Instruct users at other *stations* to navigate to and open the removable storage device drive in Windows Explorer. Likewise, other users can share content with you from their own removable storage devices the same way.
-
-## To share content that is stored on a removable storage device by using Public folders
-
-1. Connect the removable storage device to an open USB port on the host computer or a USB hub that is not a *station hub* in the MultiPoint Services system.
-2. Copy the content you want to share to a public folder in Windows Explorer, such as **Public Documents** in the **Documents** library.
-
-## To privately work with content that is stored on a USB storage device

-# Set Up a Station
-A MultiPoint Services *station* typically consists of a *station hub*, mouse, keyboard, and video monitor. This topic describes how to connect the hardware devices to the station hub to create a MultiPoint Services station.
-
-The station hub is a hardware device that connects peripheral devices to a computer in a MultiPoint Services system. MultiPoint Services supports two types of station hubs:
-
-- **USB Hub:** A generic multiport USB expansion hub that complies with the universal serial bus 2.0 or later specifications. Such hubs typically have two, four, or more USB ports that allow for multiple USB devices to be connected to a single USB port on the computer. USB hubs are commonly separate devices that may be externally powered or bus-powered. When used as a station hub with MultiPoint Services, we recommend that you use a hub with four or more ports.
-
- > [!IMPORTANT]
- > If you plan to connect USB devices other than a keyboard and mouse to the hub, we recommend that you use an externally powered hub for best performance.
-
-- **Multifunction Hub:** An expansion hub that connects to the computer via a USB port, and enables the connection of a variety of non-USB devices to the hub, including a video monitor. Multifunction hubs are produced by specific hardware manufacturers and may require the installation of a device-specific driver.
-
-If you want to add a station to your MultiPoint Services system, first make sure that you have enough connection ports available for the station hardware that you want to use. In addition, you must secure the appropriate number of *client access licenses (CALs)* for your MultiPoint Services system.
-
-## Setting up station hardware
-The procedures in this section describe how to connect MultiPoint Services station hardware to the different types of station hubs.
-
-### To set up a station with a USB hub
-
-1. Before you can connect a new station, *end* all user *sessions*, and then shut down the computer and other powered devices in your MultiPoint Services system.
-
-2. Connect the new video monitor cable to the video display port on the computer, as shown in the following illustration:

-# Set up a USB zero client-connected station in MultiPoint Services
-When you use USB zero clients to create MultiPoint Services stations, the monitor for each station is connected to the video port on the USB zero client, as shown in the following illustration. For more information about this and other station types, see [MultiPoint Stations](MultiPoint-services-Stations.md).
-
-**MultiPoint Services system with one direct-video-connected station and two USB zero client-connected stations**
-
-
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> Before you set up USB zero client-connected stations, be sure to install the latest drivers for your video cards and the USB zero client. Outdated drivers can prevent the MultiPoint Services configuration from completing successfully. For instructions, see [Update and install device drivers if needed](Update-and-install-device-drivers-if-needed.md).
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> If you are using a USB-over-Ethernet zero client, follow the instructions from your vendor, instead of this procedure, to use the Ethernet connection to set up the device on the network.
-
-### To set up a USB zero client-connected station
-
-1. Connect the video monitor cable to the DVI or VGA video display port on the USB zero client, as shown in the following illustration.
-
- 
-
-2. Connect the USB zero client to an open USB port on the computer.
-
- 
-
-3. Connect a keyboard and mouse to the USB zero client.
-
- 
-
-4. If you are using an externally powered USB zero client, connect the power cord of the USB zero client to a power outlet.
-
-5. Connect the power cord of the video monitor to a power outlet.
-
-6. If you are prompted to associate devices with the station, follow the instructions on the monitor to complete the setup. (Generally, USB zero client-connected stations are associated with stations automatically as you add them to the server.)

-# Set up a direct-video-connected station in MultiPoint Services
-On a direct video-connected station, the monitor is connected directly to a video port on the MultiPoint Server computer. A keyboard and mouse are then connected to a USB hub, and are associated with the monitor.
-
-The following illustration shows a MultiPoint Server environment that has a single MultiPoint Server computer and four direct-video-connected stations. For more information, see [MultiPoint Server Stations](MultiPoint-services-Stations.md).
-
-**MultiPoint Services system with four direct video connections**
-
-
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> To configure a direct-video-connected station, you must use a Latin keyboard (such as an English or Spanish language keyboard).
-
-## To set up a direct video-connected station
-
-1. Connect the monitor cable to the video display port on the computer, as shown below.
-
- 
-
-2. Connect the power cord of the video monitor to a power outlet.
-
-3. Connect a USB hub to an open USB port on the computer, as shown below.
-
- 
-
-4. Connect a keyboard and mouse to the USB station hub.
-
- 
-
-5. Connect any additional peripherals, such as headphones, to the USB hub.
-
-6. If you are using an externally powered hub, connect the power cable of the hub to a power outlet.
-
- > [!IMPORTANT]
- > We strongly recommend the use of a powered hub. Erratic system behavior can result from under-current conditions.
- >
- > Users should not attach mice and keyboards directly to the USB ports of the computer. Doing so is likely to cause the incorrect association of multiple keyboards and mice to the same station, or to no station at all.
-
-7. Follow the instructions that appear on the monitor to create the station.
-
-If you add more than one direct video-connected station to your MultiPoint Services environment, the primary station might change. You can easily find out which direct video connected station is your primary station.
-
-## To find out which direct video-connected station is the primary station
-
-1. Turn on all monitors that are connected directly to the computer's display adapters (video cards).
-
-2. Start (or restart) the MultiPoint Services computer, and see which monitor displays the startup screens. That station is the primary station.
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > In some cases, BIOS startup information is displayed on multiple monitors simultaneously. In that case, any of the monitors can be considered the "primary station" for the purpose of accessing the BIOS.

-# Set up a split-screen station
-You can set up a split-screen station so two users can simultaneously use the system.
-
-Any monitor that has a resolution of minimum 1200 x720, when connected to a station that supports the split-screen feature, can be split into two stations. After a station is split, the desktop that the monitor had displayed moves to the left half of the screen, and a new station is displayed on the right half of the screen. To finish creating the new station, you will need to map a keyboard, mouse, and USB hub to the station. After a station is split, a user can log on to the left station while another user logs on to the right station.
-
-Split-screen stations have several benefits:
-
-- You can reduce cost and space by accommodating more users on a MultiPoint Services system.
-
-- Two users can collaborate together, side by side, on a project.
-
-- A MultiPoint Dashboard user can demonstrate a procedure on one station while a student follows along on the other station.
-
-The following illustration shows a MultiPoint Services system with a split screen station (on the right).
-
-
-
-## Requirements for a split screen station
-To create a split-screen station, the monitor and station must meet these requirements:
-
-- The monitor must have a resolution of 1200 x720 or higher.
-
-- If you are using a USB-over-Ethernet zero client, check with your hardware vendor to find out whether split-screen stations are supported. Many USB-over-Ethernet zero client devices have limitations that prevent their configuration as split-screen stations.
-
-## Setting up a split-screen station
-Use the following procedures to add a second hub for a split-screen station and then split the station in MultiPoint Services. The final procedure explains how to return a split-screen station to a single station.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> When you split a station, the active session on the station is suspended. The user must log on to the station again to resume work after the split occurs.
-
-**To add a second hub with keyboard and mouse:**
-
-1. Connect a USB hub to an open USB port on the computer, as shown in the following illustration.
-
- 
-
-2. Connect a keyboard and mouse to the USB hub.
-
- 
-
-3. Connect any additional peripherals, such as headphones to the USB hub.
-
-4. If you are using an externally powered hub, connect the power cable of the hub to a power outlet.
-
-**To split a station:**
-
-1. In the MultiPoint Manager, click the **Stations** tab.
-
-2. Under **Station**, click the name of the station you want to split.
-
-3. Under **Selected Item Tasks**, click **Split station**.
-
- The original screen moves to the left half of the monitor, and a new station's screen is created on the right half of the same monitor.
-
-4. Create the new station by pressing the specified letter on the newly added keyboard as indicated when the **Create a MultiPoint Server Station** screen appears on the right half of the monitor.
-
-After a station is split, one user can log on to the left station while another user logs on to the right station.
-
-**To return a split station to a single station:**
-
-1. In the MultiPoint Manager, click the **Stations** tab.
-
-2. Under **Station**, click the name of the station you want to unsplit.
-
-3. Under **Selected Item Tasks**, click **Unsplit station**.

-# Set up an RDP-over-LAN connected station in MultiPoint Services
-An RDP-over-LAN connected station is a thin client, traditional desktop, or laptop computer that connects to MultiPoint Services on a local area network (LAN) by using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). For more information about this and other station types, see [MultiPoint Stations](MultiPoint-services-Stations.md).
-
-## To set up a MultiPoint station using a computer or thin client on a LAN
-
-1. Turn on the computer that is running MultiPoint Services.
-
-2. Ensure that the MultiPoint Server computer is connected to the LAN by a switch, router, or other networking device and has a proper IP address. (An IP address that starts with 169.254 (an APIPA address) might indicate there is an issue with the LAN connection or that the DHCP server can't be reached or is not functioning correctly.)
-
-3. Connect the client computer or thin client to the LAN.
-
-4. Turn on the client computer or thin client.
-
-5. On the client computer or thin client, start Remote Desktop Connection or an equivalent application, and enter the name or IP address of the computer running MultiPoint Services.
-
-## Set up a Windows 10 device for remote management by using Connector Services
-Any PC or laptop running Windows 10 can be managed remotely as long as:
-- the Connector Services have been enabled
-- the machine has been added to managed computers on the MultiPoint server.
-
-On the PC running Windows 10 follow these steps to enable MultiPoint Connector:
-
-1. In the search box, type "Turn Windows features on or off" and select the proper search result.
-
-2. In the list of features enable **MultiPoint Connector**. This will enable MultiPoint connector services which are needed to manage the device.
-
-On the MultiPoint server:
-1. Open MultiPoint Manager and select either **Add or remove personal computers** or **Add or remove MultiPoint Services**.
-
-2. Select the remote computers you want to manage and click **OK**. You will be prompted for admin credentials on the remote machines. Once this is done, you will see the remote machines on the MultiPoint Manager home tab.
-
-When successfully set up Dashboard Manager can monitor users working on the managed device.
-

-# Set up the physical computer and primary station
-Before you install MultiPoint Services, you need to set up the primary station for your MultiPoint Services system. If you will use a local area network (LAN) connect the computer to the LAN.
-
-A *station* is an endpoint by which MultiPoint Services is accessed. The *primary station* is the first station to start when MultiPoint Services is started. Administrators can use it to access startup menus and settings. The primary station provides access to system configuration and troubleshooting information that is only available during startup and before the MultiPoint Services system is running. After startup, you can use the primary station as you would any other station.
-
-The primary station must be a direct-video-connected station. The following procedure describes how to connect the needed hardware to your MultiPoint Services computer.
-
-For more information about stations, see [MultiPoint Stations](multipoint-services-stations.md). For help with making hardware selections, see [Selecting Hardware for Your MultiPoint Services System](./select-hardware-mps.md). For information about connecting other stations types to MultiPoint Services, see [Attach additional stations to your MultiPoint Services computer](./multipoint-attach-additional-stations.md).
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> To create a video-connected station, you must use a Latin keyboard (such as an English- or Spanish-language keyboard).
-
-## To set up your primary station
-
-1. Ensure that the computer running MultiPoint Services is turned off and unplugged.
-
-2. Connect the power cord of the monitor to a power outlet, and connect the monitor cable to the video display port on the computer, as shown below.
-
- 
-
-3. If the station will use a USB keyboard and mouse, complete the following steps:
-
- 1. Connect an external USB hub to an open USB port on the computer, as shown below.
-
- 
-
- 2. Connect the USB keyboard and mouse to the USB hub.
-
- 
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > If your MultiPoint Services computer has PS/2 ports, you can, if needed, use a PS/2 keyboard and mouse plugged directly into the computer. However, this setup has significant limitations. Users cannot use audio devices, web cams, and flash drives on PS/2 stations.
-
- 3. If you are using an externally powered hub, connect the power cable of the hub to a power outlet.
-
- > [!IMPORTANT]
- > We strongly recommend the use of a powered hub. Erratic system behavior can result from under-current conditions.
- >
- > Users should not attach mice and keyboards directly to the USB ports of the computer. Doing so is likely to cause the incorrect association of multiple keyboards and mice to the same station, or to no station at all.
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > The host audio device on the system's motherboard is only available while MultiPoint Services is in console mode. To ensure uninterrupted audio for a station that uses an external USB hub, you must use a USB audio device plugged into the hub.
-
-## To connect the computer to the LAN
-
-- If you have a LAN, connect your computer to your network with a network cable.

-# Storing Files with MultiPoint Services
-MultiPoint Services supports storing user files in the following ways:
-
-- **On the operating system partition of the hard disk drive.** By default, MultiPoint Services stores user files on the hard disk drive with the operating system.
-
-- **On a separate partition of the hard disk drive.** When the MultiPoint Services system is set up for the first time, you can *partition* the hard disk drive. That is, you can configure a section of the drive so that it functions as if it were a separate drive. This makes it easier to restore or upgrade the operating system without affecting user files. For more information, see [Create a partition or logical drive](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2003/cc727978(v=ws.10)) in the Windows Server Technical Library.
-
-- **On an additional internal or external hard disk drive.** You can attach additional internal or external hard disk drives to MultiPoint Services for saving and backing up data.
-
-- **In a shared network folder.** To make user files available from any station, you can create a shared folder on the network. This requires another computer or server in addition to the computer running MultiPoint Services. This is the recommended method for storing files if there is a file server available.
-
- For small systems of 2-3 computers running MultiPoint Services with no file server available, one of the MultiPoint Services computers can act as the file server for all of the MultiPoint Services computers. You would then create user accounts for all users on the MultiPoint Services that is acting as the file server.

-# Suspend and Leave User Session Active
-You can disconnect or suspend users from the MultiPoint Services system when you do not want to end the users' sessions. A user can also disconnect the session, rather than you disconnecting the session for them. While a user session is suspended, the session remains active in the MultiPoint Services system's computer memory until the computer is shut down or restarted. At that time, all suspended sessions are ended and any unsaved work is lost.
-
-1. Open MultiPoint Manager in station mode, and then click the **Stations** tab.
-
-2. In the **Computer** column, click name of the computer whose sessions you want to suspend.
-
-3. Under **Stations Tasks**, click **Suspend all stations**.
-
-After a user session has been suspended, the user can log on to the same or another station and continue to work in the original session.

-# Switch Between Modes
-MultiPoint Manager includes the following modes to help you perform different types of MultiPoint Services system management:
-
-- *Station mode*: By default, the MultiPoint Services system starts in station mode. While in station mode, the MultiPoint Services stations behave as if each station is a separate computer that is running Windows, and multiple users can use the system at the same time. You and your users can share files and perform the work that you must do.
-
-- *Console mode*: When the MultiPoint Services system is in console mode, you can install and update software and drivers or perform other maintenance tasks. When the system is in console mode, no *stations* are available for use by other computer users. Such stations are not displayed in MultiPoint Manager. All monitors directly connected to the server are treated as displays of this computer system.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> You can enforce the system starting in Console mode by changing the default in the settings for the server.
-> ## To switch from station mode to console mode
-
-1. Open MultiPoint Manager in station mode, and then click the **Home** tab.
-
-2. In the **Computer** column, click the computer for which you want to change modes.
-
-3. Under *computer name* **Tasks**, click **Switch to console mode**. The computer restarts and all stations become unavailable.

-# User Account Considerations
-This topic describes issues that you, as an administrative user, should consider as you create and manage user accounts. You manage user accounts in the Users tab in MultiPoint Manager. For more information, see the [Manage User Accounts](Manage-User-Accounts.md) topic.
-
-## User account types
-A user account is a collection of information that tells MultiPoint Services which files and folders a user can access, what changes they can make to the MultiPoint Services system, and each user's preferences, such as desktop background. Each person accesses their own user account by using a unique user name and password. MultiPoint Services supports three types of user accounts:
-
-- **Administrative user accounts** are for individuals who will use MultiPoint Manager to use and manage the MultiPoint Services system. For more information, see [Create an Administrative User Account](Create-an-Administrative-User-Account.md).
-
-- **Standard user accounts** are for individuals who will regularly access stations, but will not manage the system. Typically, you should create standard user accounts for most MultiPoint Services system users. For more information, see [Create a Standard User Account](Create-a-Standard-User-Account.md).
-
-- **MultiPoint Dashboard user accounts** are for individuals who use the MultiPoint Dashboard to manage standard user sessions and can log on from any station. For more information, see [Create a MultiPoint Dashboard User Account](Create-a-MultiPoint-Dashboard-User-Account.md).
-
-## User name and password considerations
-Administrative users can perform tasks that affect all other users of the MultiPoint Services system, such as install software or change security settings. For this reason, administrative users should have unique user names and passwords that are known only to them.
-
-One important consideration of user accounts is that each user account is allocated a unique **Documents** library in Windows Explorer that includes the **My Documents** folder. If the standard users on your MultiPoint Services system will store private documents in their **Documents** library in Windows Explorer, they too should log on to the MultiPoint Services system using a unique user name and password known only to them. For more information about storing documents in Windows Explorer, see the [Manage User Files](Manage-User-Files.md) topic.
-
-> [!TIP]
-> For stronger system security, all users' passwords should be strong passwords. A strong password is one that cannot be easily guessed or cracked, is at least eight characters long, does not contain all or part of the user's account name, and contains at least three of the four following categories of characters: uppercase characters, lowercase characters, numbers, and symbols found on a keyboard (such as !, @, #).

----
-# Variables Affecting MultiPoint Services System Performance
-There are many variables that can affect the overall performance of your MultiPoint Services system. You may want to consider these when designing your system.
-
-## Usage
-
-- **Applications** The type and number of applications running at the same time, especially graphic\-heavy or memory intensive applications will affect the overall performance of your system. For more information, see [Applications and Internet Content](hardware-and-performance-recommendations.md#applications-and-internet-content).
-
-- **Internet use** Consider if your users will be viewing multimedia content or web pages that use full-motion videos. This type of content can overload the system if too many users are viewing concurrently.
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > The projection feature in MultiPoint Services, which allows teachers to project their screens onto their student monitors, is not designed to project full-motion video. The projection feature is designed for demonstration purposes, such as showing a procedure.
-
-- **High-speed devices** If too many users are concurrently using a high-speed device, like a web camera or DVD player, this affects the overall performance of the system.
-
-## Configuration
-
-- **CPU, GPU, and RAM** See [Optimize MultiPoint Services System Performance](hardware-and-performance-recommendations.md#optimize-multipoint-services-system-performance) in this guide for CPU, GPU, and RAM recommendations.
-- **Network bandwidth** For RDP-over-LAN connected stations, the network bandwidth and the capability of the client (for example, a thin client, desktop PC, or laptop) is important, particularly if video is running in the user's session. If you are using USB-over-Ethernet zero clients, network bandwidth should also be a consideration. Video data for all of the devices is sent over the same Ethernet connection, so you may want to consider setting up a separate Gigabit Ethernet network when using these devices.
-- **RemoteFX** For RDP-over-LAN connected stations, you may be able to use RemoteFX to greatly improve the delivery of high-definition multimedia content.
-- **Display resolution** If you have heavy full-screen video usage, you may want to consider reducing the monitor resolution to maximize performance.
-- **Number of USB zero clients** The total number of USB zero clients on a single root hub on the server will directly affect video performance. For more information, see [Layout for USB Zero Client Connected Stations](MultiPoint-services-Site-Planning.md#layout-for-usb-zero-client-connected-stations). The number of USB-over-Ethernet zero client stations that are supported might be slightly less than the number of USB zero clients.
-- **USB bandwidth** Consider the USB bandwidth when you are designing your system. This is especially important for USB zero clients, which send video data over the USB connection. To optimize bandwidth, minimize the number of devices that are connected to a single USB port on the server. This applies to daisy chained stations and intermediate hubs. For more information, see [Station hubs](MultiPoint-services-Site-Planning.md#station-hubs) and [Intermediate hubs](MultiPoint-services-Site-Planning.md#intermediate-hubs).
-
-- **USB type** Using USB 3.0 instead of USB 2.0 increases the available bandwidth between the server and the intermediate hub if you are connecting more than three USB zero clients to the hub or if you are using high-bandwidth USB devices.
-
-- **Stations** The total number of stations affects the performance. If you have heavy graphics, processing, or video needs, you may want to limit the overall number of stations. For more information, see [Optimize MultiPoint Services System performance](hardware-and-performance-recommendations.md#optimize-multipoint-services-system-performance).

-# View Hardware Status
-In MultiPoint Manager, use the **Stations** tab to view *station* information, such as:
-
-- Station name
-- Required hardware to make each station usable (typically, hardware would include a video monitor, *station hub*, keyboard, and mouse)
-- Additional peripheral hardware devices associated with a station
-- Notification of required hardware that is missing or not working at a station is displayed in the relevant column
-- Names of users who are currently connected to the MultiPoint Services system
-
-> [!TIP]
-> If the stations in your MultiPoint Services system are physically arranged in a way that you intend to keep (for example, around a circular table), you may find it helpful to adhere station name or number labels, such as stickers or cards, to help identify the video monitor or hub of each station. That way, you and other users of the stations can more easily refer to and distinguish stations by their unique identifying name or number.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> The **Stations** tab is unavailable when the system is in console mode.

-# Work with USB Devices
-
-You can connect devices to either the computer in your MultiPoint Services system or to a MultiPoint station hub. The location where a device is connected, and the type of device, affects whether a device is available to all users on the system, only to individual users, or not available to any users. The following are examples of the different connection types:
-
-- If you connect a device directly to the computer, such as a printer or USB mass storage device, the device can be accessed by all session users on the MultiPoint Services system. Virtual desktop station users will not be able to access the devices connected directly to the computer.
-
-- If you connect a device to a station hub, such as a keyboard, mouse, *audio device*, or mass storage device, the device is available only to the user logged on to that MultiPoint Services station.
-
-- If you connect certain types of devices to the computer, such as a keyboard or mouse, the devices are not available to any users on the system.
-
-The following table shows a list of devices and how they behave, depending on where they are connected to the system. Information about how to connect station hubs is described in [Working with station hubs](#working-with-station-hubs). More information about how to connect video monitors to a station is described in [Work with Video Devices](Work-with-Video-Devices.md).
-
-| **Device** | **Behavior when it is connected directly to the computer** | **Behavior when it is connected to a station** | **Notes** |
-|--|--|--|--|
-| Keyboard | We do not recommend connecting a keyboard directly to the computer. | Accessible only to the station user. | If the keyboard contains a USB port, then the USB hub inside the keyboard may be the station hub. Other USB devices attached to that port are available only to user who is using that keyboard.Some station hubs are equipped with a PS\/2 mouse port that is converted into a USB connection inside the hub. |
-| Mouse | We do not recommend connecting a mouse directly to the computer. | Accessible only to the station user. | Some station hubs are equipped with a PS\/2 mouse port that is converted into a USB connection inside the hub. |

-
-*Devices that are connected to the host computer are not visible to the users who are logged on to virtual desktop stations.
-
-For more information about how to set up a station, see [Set Up a Station](Set-Up-a-Station.md).
-
-### Working with station hubs
-There are four scenarios for how a USB hub can be used when it is connected to a MultiPoint Services system. Each of the following scenarios provides different access to the devices that are connected to it, depending on the type of hub and where it is connected to the system.
-
-- A station hub connected to the computer in your MultiPoint Services system with a keyboard attached can be used to create a MultiPoint Services station. A keyboard and mouse are connected to the station hub using the ports that are available on the hub. A video monitor is connected to a video port on the computer or to a video adapter on the station hub, if available. The keyboard, mouse, and monitor are then *associated* with a MultiPoint Services station.
-
-- A USB hub connected to the computer in your MultiPoint Services system with no keyboard attached can be used to connect additional devices to the computer when there are not enough ports on the computer for the required devices. All devices connected to this USB hub are available to all users of the MultiPoint Services system. This is not considered a MultiPoint Services station hub.
-
-- A powered USB hub connected to the computer in your MultiPoint Services system, also known as an intermediate hub, can be used to connect additional USB hubs that are used to create MultiPoint stations.
-
-- A USB hub connected to a station hub can be used to connect additional devices to the station hub. Keyboards must be connected directly to the station hub.
-
-For more information about how to set up a MultiPoint Services station, see [Set Up a Station](Set-Up-a-Station.md).

-# Work with Video Devices
-Learn how video devices, such as a monitor or projector, function when they are connected to a computer in your MultiPoint Services system or to a MultiPoint Services *station*.
-
-## Working with video monitors
-Depending on your MultiPoint Services system hardware, there are two ways to connect a video monitor:
-
-- For *USB hub-based systems*, connect the video monitor cable to an open video port on the computer, as shown in the following illustration:
-
- 
-
-- For *multifunction hub-based systems* with built-in video support, connect the video monitor cable to the video port on the multifunction hub:
-
- 
-
-For more information, see the [Set Up a Station](Set-Up-a-Station.md) topic.
-
-## Working with video projectors
-You can connect a video projector to your MultiPoint Services system when you want to project a large image to be viewed by others; for example, in a lab setting. For both USB hub-based and multifunction hub-based stations, you have two options for connecting a projector to a station:
-
-- Replace a monitor with a projector and use the projector as the display device for that station, as shown in the following illustration:
-
- 
-
-- Obtain a video splitter device to connect both a projector and monitor to the station's video port.
-
- MultiPoint Services will display the same image on both display devices. When not projecting, you can turn the projector off and use just the video monitor.
-
-When using either option, note the following:
-
-- Connecting a video display may require that you *associate the station* again so that MultiPoint Services can correctly recognize the new display. Follow the instructions that appear on the station's video display device.
-
-- You may need to obtain adapter or converter devices to convert between DVI and VGA plugs.
-
-- Use of a "Y" splitter cable may decrease video quality on both video devices.
-
-- When using both a projector and a monitor via a "Y" splitter cable, MultiPoint Services adjusts the screen resolution of both devices to the lowest maximum resolution of either device—most typically the projector.
-
-- MultiPoint Services does not support extending a single station's display across multiple monitors.

-# Task Lists: MultiPoint Services
-Use the task lists in this topic to help you're the deployment of your MultiPoint Services system and keep track of completed tasks. Not all tasks apply to every environment. For example, some tasks are performed only if you deploy a MultiPoint server on an Active Directory domain. Others, such as creating split-screen stations or deploying virtual desktops for stations, are optional. For procedures that explain how to perform these tasks, see [Deploying MultiPoint Services](deploying-multipoint-services.md).

-title: Hardware Requirements and Performance Recommendations
-description: Provides hardware and performance requirements and recommendations for MultiPoint Services
-ms.date: 07/22/2016
-ms.topic: best-practice

----
-# Hardware Requirements and Performance Recommendations
-This topic describes the hardware that is required to run a MultiPoint Services system and support user application scenarios. The user scenario directly affects the CPU, RAM, and network bandwidth requirements.
-
-## Optimize MultiPoint Services system performance
-The performance of your MultiPoint Services system will be directly affected by the capability of the CPU, the GPU, and the amount of RAM that is available on the computer that is running MultiPoint Services.
-
-### Applications and Internet content
-Because MultiPoint Services is a shared resource computing solution, the type and number of applications that are running on the stations can impact the performance of your MultiPoint Services system. It is important to consider the types of programs that are used regularly when you are planning your system. For example, a graphics-intensive application requires a more powerful computer than an application such as a word processor. Overloading the computer with graphics-intensive applications will likely cause lag problems throughout the entire system.
-
-The type of content that is accessed by applications also affects the system's performance. If multiple stations are using web browsers to access multimedia content, such as full-motion video, fewer stations can be connected before adversely affecting the system performance. Conversely, if the multiple stations are using web browsers to access static web content, more stations can be connected without a significant effect on performance.
-
-### Hardware recommendations
-To achieve good performance with your MultiPoint Services system under various loads, use the guidelines in the following table when you are planning and testing your system. These are the basic requirements forMultiPoint Services . The actual configuration sizing depends on your system configuration, the workload you are running, and the hardware capability. You should always validate by testing your applications and hardware.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> 2C = 2 cores, 4C = 4 cores, 6C = 6 cores, MT = multithreading. Processor speed should be at least 2.0 gigahertz (GHz).
-
-### Minimum recommended hardware for running default MultiPoint Server stations

-
-## Minimum recommended hardware for running full Windows 10 virtual desktops
-Running a full virtual operating system instance for each station is more compute resource-intensive than running the default MultiPoint desktop sessions, so the host hardware requirements per station are higher:
-
-1. CPU: 1 core or thread per station
-
-2. Solid State Drive (SSD)
-
- 1. Capacity >= 20GB per station + 40GB for the WMS host operating system
-
- 2. Random Read/Write IOPS >= 3K per station
-
-3. RAM >= 2GB per station + 2GB for the WMS host operating system
-
-BIOS CPU setting has been configured to enable virtualization – Second Level Address Translation (SLAT)
-
-For more information about choosing the best MultiPoint Services hardware for your needs, contact your hardware vendor.

-title: Install Server Backup on your MultiPoint server
-description: Walks you through the steps to install the backup and recovery tools
-ms.date: 07/22/2016

----
-# Install Server Backup on your MultiPoint server
-It is recommended that you consider a backup and recovery plan for your MultiPoint servers.
-
-A good backup and recovery plan is important for any size environment. Windows Server Backup is a feature in Windows Server 2016 that provides a set of wizards and other tools for you to perform basic backup and recovery tasks for the server on which it is installed. You can use Windows Server Backup to back up a full server (all volumes), selected volumes, the system state, or specific files or folders, and to create a backup that you can use to rebuild your system.
-
-You can recover volumes, folders, files, certain applications, and the system state. And, for disasters like hard disk failures, you can rebuild a system either from scratch or by using alternate hardware. To do this, you must have a backup of the full server or just the volumes that contain operating system files and the Windows Recovery Environment. This restores your complete system onto your old system or onto a new hard disk.
-
-A key feature of Windows Server Backup is the ability to schedule backups to run automatically.
-
-Use the following procedures to set up the type of backup you require.
-
-## Install backup and recovery tools
-
-1. From the **Start** screen, open **Server Manager**.
-
-2. Click **Add Roles and Features** to start the Add Roles Wizard. Then click **Next** after you review the **Before you begin** notes.
-
-3. Select the **Role based or feature based installation** option, and then click **Next**.
-
-4. Select the local computer that you are managing, and click **Next**.
-
- The Add Features Wizard opens.
-
-5. On the **Select Features** page, expand Windows Server Backup Features, select the check boxes for **Windows Server Backup** and **Command-line Tools**, and then click **Next**.
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > Or, if you just want to install the snap-in and the Wbadmin command-line tool, expand **Windows Server Backup Features**, and then select the **Windows Server Backup** check box only—make sure the **Command-line Tools** check box is clear.
-
-6. On the **Confirm Installation Selections** page, review your choices, and then click **Install**.
-
- If any errors occur during the installation, the **Installation Results** page will note the errors.
-
-7. After the installation completes successfully, you should be able to access these backup and recovery tools:
-
- - To open the Windows Server Backup snap-in, on the **Start** screen, type **backup**, and then click **Windows Server Backup** in the results.
-
- - To start the Wbadmin tool and view syntax for its commands: On the **Start** screen, type **command**. In the results, right-click **Command Prompt**, click **Run as administrator** at the bottom of the page, and then click **Yes** at the confirmation prompt. At the command prompt, type **wbadmin /?** and press ENTER. You should see command syntax and descriptions for the tool.
-
-## Configure backups using Windows Server Backup

----
-# Limit users' access to the Multipoint server
-Whether you join MultiPoint server to an Active Directory domain or you use local user accounts, all users have access to MultiPoint server by default. Before you allow users to log on to stations in your MultiPoint Services environment, you should restrict access to the server.
-
-Any user in the Remote Desktop Users group can log on to MultiPoint server. By default, the user group Everyone is a member of the Remote Desktop Users group, and therefore every local user and domain user can log on to the MultiPoint Server. To restrict access to MultiPoint Server, remove the Everyone user group from the Remote Desktop Users group, and then add specific users or groups to the Remote Desktop Users group.
-
-## Add or remove users or groups to the Remote Desktop Users group
-
-1. From the **Start** screen, open **Computer Management**.
-
-2. In the console tree, under **Local Users and Groups**, click **Groups**.
-
-3. Double click **Remote Desktop Users**, and follow the instructions to add or remove users.
-
- - To restrict general access to the server, remove the Everyone group.
-
- - To give your MultiPoint server users access to stations, add each local account or each domain user or group account to the Remote Desktop Users group.

-title: Attach additional stations to your MultiPoint server
-description: Add more stations to your MultiPoint Services deployment
-ms.topic: how-to

----
-# Attach additional stations to MultiPoint Services
-In your MultiPoint Services environment, your users use stations to connect to MultiPoint Services and do their work. The stations are the user endpoints for connecting to the computer running Multipoint Services.
-
-MultiPoint services supports three types of station:
-
-- Direct-video-connected stations
-
-- USB zero client-connected stations (and USB over Ethernet zero client connected stations)
-
-- RDP-over-LAN connected stations
-
-The classifications are based on a station's hardware and the type of connection that it uses. You can mix and match connection types for your stations. The only requirement is that the primary station (which you installed earlier) must be a direct-video-connected station. For more information about station setups, see [MultiPoint Stations](MultiPoint-services-Stations.md).
-
-For instructions that explain how to set up each type of station, see the following:
-
-- [Set up a direct-video-connected station](Set-up-a-direct-video-connected-station-in-MultiPoint-services.md)
-
-- [Set up a USB zero client-connected station](Set-up-a-USB-zero-client-connected-station-in-MultiPoint-services.md)
-
-- [Set up an RDP-over-LAN connected station](Set-up-an-RDP-over-LAN-connected-station-in-MultiPoint-services.md)
-
-For a detailed comparison of station types, see [Station type comparison](multipoint-services-stations.md#BKMK_StationTypeComparison).
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> - The procedures for attaching stations do not describe how to set up intermediate hubs or downstream hubs. For information about where to install these hubs, see [MultiPoint Stations](MultiPoint-services-Stations.md).
-> - In some cases, you might need to create station virtual desktops, which run in virtual machines. For example, you use applications that cannot be installed on Windows Server or applications that will not run multiple instances on the same host computer. For more information, see [Create Windows 10 Enterprise virtual desktops for stations](Create-Windows-10-Enterprise-virtual-desktops-for-stations.md).
-
-> [!TIP]
-> It is useful to create your stations in the order of their physical locations so that they are identified sequentially in MultiPoint Server. If you later want to change the name of a station, you can do that in MultiPoint Manager. For more information, see Remap all stations in MultiPoint Server Help and Support.

-# Collect hardware and device drivers needed for the installation
-Before you start deploying your MultiPoint Services system, you will need:
-
-- **Hardware components for the server** - Install any additional video cards or other system components at this time.
-
-- **Hardware components for the stations** - For information about planning stations for your environment, see [Selecting Hardware for Your MultiPoint Services System](./select-hardware-mps.md).
-- **The latest drivers for your video cards** - If your OEM or device manufacturer did not supply these, you will need to download them from the device manufacturer's website.
-
-- **The latest USB zero client drivers** - If you are using USB zero client stations, you must install the latest USB zero client drivers.
-
- > [!IMPORTANT]
- > For a MultiPoint Services installation, you must install the 64-bit version of any drivers.
-
-> [!TIP]
-> If you are installing MultiPoint Services on a computer with a different version of Windows already installed, you should find out the video card make and model in Device Manager before you start the Windows Server installation and ensure you can get drivers which are available for Windows Server 2016. Open Device Manager, open **Computer Management** from the **Start** screen. Then, in the console tree, click **Device Manager**.

-# MultiPoint Services migration in Windows Server 2016
->
-
-You can migrate from a previous release of Windows Server 2016 MultiPoint Services to the RTM version of MultiPoint Services. The following information provides preparation information and migration and verification steps.
-
-Migration documentation and tools ease the migration of server role settings and data from an existing server to a destination server that is running Windows Server 2016. By using the process described in this guide, you can simplify the migration process, reduce migration time, increase the accuracy of the migration process, and help eliminate possible conflicts that might otherwise occur during the migration process.
-
-## What to know before you begin
-Before you begin the migration process, please note the following:
-
-- The migration process does not automatically gather or record settings for applications on the MultiPoint Services role. You should create a customized migration plan for any applications that you want to migrate. This is also true when using the virtual desktops feature in MultiPoint Services.
-- This guide does not provide guidance for moving data saved in user or shared folders on the MultiPoint server. This applies to regular stations and virtual desktop stations.
-- This guide does not contain instructions on how to migrate when the source server is running multiple roles. If your server is running multiple roles, you need to design a custom migration procedure that is specific to your server environment, based on information provided in the role migration guides.
-- This guide does not contain information for migrating Remote Desktop Services CALS. For this information, see [Migrate Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licenses (RDS CALs)](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/dd851844(v=ws.11)).
-
-## Supported migration scenarios for MultiPoint Services in Windows Server 2016
-The MultiPoint Service role services is available in Windows Server 2016 Standard and Datacenter. This migration guide describes how to migrate the Multipoint Services role services from a source server running Windows Server 2016 to a destination server running the same version.
-
-## Scenarios that are not supported
-
-The following migration scenarios are not supported:
-
-- Migrating or upgrading from Windows MultiPoint Server 2012 and 2011.
-- Migrating from a source server to a destination server that is running on operating system with a different system UI language installed.
-- Migrating the MultiPoint Services role service from physical servers to virtual machines.
-- Migrating any applications or application settings from the MultiPoint Server.
-
-## The impact of migration on MultiPoint Services
-Be aware that the MultiPoint Services role will not be available during the migration. Plan your data migration to occur during off-peak hours to minimize downtime and reduce impact to users. Notify users that the resources will be unavailable during that time.
-
-## Migration information and steps
-Use the following information to plan and carry out your MultiPoint Services migration:
-
-- [Gather the information you need for the migration.](multipoint-services-migration-preparation.md)
-- [Migrate the MultiPoint Services role service.](multipoint-services-migration-steps.md)
-- [Validate the migration and do any post-migration clean-up tasks](multipoint-services-post-migration-steps.md)

-# MultiPoint Services - post-migration tasks
-
-After you migrate to MultiPoint Services in Windows Server 2016, use the following information to validate the migration and to perform clean-up steps.
-
-## Validate the migration by running a pilot program
-
-You can validate your MultiPoint Services migration by creating a pilot project in the production environment. Run the pilot project on the servers before you put the migrated role services into production to verify that your deployment works as you expect. Consider limiting the number of connections at first, slowly increasing the number of users accessing MultiPoint Services.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Always use test accounts to test the migration. Use an account with administrative privileges and an account for a valid user.
-
-## Retire the source server
-After you validate your migration, you can shut down or disconnect the source server from your network. If the server was domain-joined, remove it from the domain before you disconnect it.

-title: Selecting Hardware for Your MultiPoint Services System
-description: Hardware considerations for MultiPoint Services
-ms.date: 07/22/2016
-ms.topic: concept-article

-
-# Selecting Hardware for Your MultiPoint Services System
-
-When you build a MultiPoint Services system, you should select a computer that meets the Windows Server 2016 system requirements. If you are deciding which components to select, consider the following:
-
-- The target price range of your complete solution.
-
-- The types of usage scenarios that you might expect for the MultiPoint Services system, such as whether the users are running multimedia programs, using word processing or productivity programs, or browsing the Internet.
-
-- Whether your scenario has large processing or memory demands.
-
-- The number of users who could be using the system at the same time. If you plan to have many users on your system at the same time, or users who use system-intensive programs, you should plan for more computing power for your system.
-
-- The type of stations. How many USB ports or video ports do you need?
-
-- Future expansion plans. Do you plan to add stations to the MultiPoint Services system at a later date? Will you have enough video card slots, USB ports, or network taps? How many additional users will your hardware need to support?
-
-- Physical layout. For more information, see [MultiPoint Services Site Planning](MultiPoint-services-Site-Planning.md).
-
-A MultiPoint Services system typically includes the following components:
-
-- One computer that is running MultiPoint Services, which includes a CPU, RAM, hard disk drives, and video cards.
-
-- A monitor, station hub, keyboard, and mouse for each station.
-
-- Optional peripheral devices for the MultiPoint Services stations, including speakers, headphones, microphones, or storage devices that are available only to the user of the station.
-
-- Optional peripheral devices that are available to all users of the MultiPoint Services system, connected directly to the host computer, such as printers, external hard disk drives, and USB storage devices.
-
-Use the following information to make hardware decisions:
-
-- [Selecting a CPU](#selecting-a-cpu)
-- [Selecting hardware components](#selecting-hardware-components)
-
-## Selecting a CPU
-
-A MultiPoint Services system is a multiple\-user environment, with all users connected to a single host computer. This increases the CPU usage because all users share the same computer. Some tasks, such as multimedia programs \(for example, media players or video\-editing software\), have larger processing demands. Therefore, make sure to select a CPU that can handle the processing requirements for the number of users and types of user scenarios that it will need to support.
-
-MultiPoint Services requires an x64\-based CPU, and must meet the system requirements for the computer as described in [Hardware Requirements and Performance Recommendations](./hardware-and-performance-recommendations.md).
-
-The following types of processors have been tested to be used on a MultiPoint Services system with high\-demand processing programs, such as multimedia programs:
-
-- **Dual\-core processor:** Can support up to 8 stations.
-- **Quad\-core processor:** Can support up to 16 stations.
-- **Quad\-core processor with multithreading:** Can support up to 20 stations.
-- **Six\-core processor with multithreading:** Can support up to 24 stations.
-
-With this information, select a CPU that meets the processing requirements for your MultiPoint Services system.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> If you are running video intensive applications the recommendation is at least one core per station.
-
-## Selecting hardware components
-
-When you are building a MultiPoint Services system, consider the following hardware components that you may need:
-
-- Video hardware
-
-- MultiPoint Services station hardware
-
- - *USB hubs*
-
- - USB zero clients
-
- - Keyboards and mouse devices
-
- - Monitors
-
-- Peripheral devices
-
- - Audio devices, such as speakers and headphones
-
- - Microphones
-
- - USB mass storage devices
-
-When you have selected the hardware components for your MultiPoint Services system, make sure that you obtain current, 64\-bit drivers for the components.
-
-The following topics provide detailed information to help you select components for your MultiPoint Services system:
-
-[Selecting video hardware](#selecting-video-hardware)
-[Selecting direct\-video\-connected or USB zero client station devices](#BKMK_Selectingdirect-video-connectedorUSBzeroclientstationdevices)
-[Selecting other station peripheral devices](#selecting-other-station-peripheral-devices)
-[Selecting RDP\-over\-LAN\-connected station hardware](#BKMK_SelectingRDP-over-LAN-connectedstationhardware)
-[Selecting audio devices](#selecting-audio-devices)
-
-## Selecting video hardware
-
-The video hardware that you select should support the number of monitors that you will require for the number of users you intend to have working at MultiPoint Services stations. In addition, different types of video hardware can provide a higher\-performance solution for graphics\-intensive programs, such as multimedia content.

-Select the video hardware that can support the maximum number of monitors for the type of performance that your MultiPoint Services system requires. Make sure that you validate the performance of the video hardware that you choose to ensure that it meets your performance requirements.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> You must install a video driver that supports extending your desktop across multiple monitors.
-
-Video hardware options include:
-
-- Internal video cards that use a PCI or a PCIe bus interface
-
-- External video controllers connected by USB
-
-The following sections describe the capabilities of each of these video hardware types. You can combine internal video cards and external video controllers to create the system that you want.
-
-### Internal video cards
-An internal video card is plugged\-in to the motherboard on the computer. The internal video card is a solution that can help the performance of graphics\-intensive multimedia programs. However, an internal video card requires an available PCI or PCIe slot to plug\-in to the motherboard. Many high\-performance video cards require a PCIe slot, but there are a limited number of PCIe slots on a motherboard. You should know what kind of video card slots are available on your computer so that you can purchase the correct type of video cards.
-
-The number of monitors that can connect to each video card depends on the GPU that is used on the card and the number of ports it supports, which typically ranges from 2 to 6.
-
-When you are selecting internal video cards, select video cards that support the number of monitors required to create the desired number of direct video connected stations. The maximum number of monitors that can be supported is equal to the number of internal video cards that are plugged\-in to the motherboard multiplied by the number of monitor ports on each of those video cards. For example, if you had two internal video cards and each card had two monitor ports, you could support up to four monitors.
-
-### External video controllers
-USB zero clients contain an external video controller to connect a monitor to the client. The USB zero client might also include connections for headphones, speakers, a microphone, or other peripheral devices.
-
-Select a USB zero client if you want to enable support for additional monitors without opening the computer, or if you want to support more stations than available video outputs. For example, if you previously had four monitors plugged\-in to internal video cards, and you want to add two more monitors, you can plug\-in two external video controllers to the computer and have room for two more monitors. In this manner, you can combine a USB zero client with the video controller and not use additional PCI or PCIe slots on the motherboard.
-
-## Selecting direct\-video\-connected or USB zero client station devices
-A MultiPoint Services station consists of a station hub or USB zero client with a keyboard and mouse plugged\-in, and a monitor that is plugged\-in to the host computer or in to a USB zero client. Other peripheral devices can be plugged\-in to the station hub or USB zero client, but they are not required to create MultiPoint station. These other peripheral devices are described in [Selecting other station peripheral devices](#selecting-other-station-peripheral-devices).
-
-The devices that you select to create a MultiPoint Services station should meet minimum requirements to work with MultiPoint Services. Details about the requirements for the following MultiPoint Services station devices are provided in this topic:
-
-- [Selecting USB hubs](#selecting-usb-hubs)
-- [Selecting USB zero clients](#selecting-usb-zero-clients)
-- [Selecting keyboards and mouse devices](#selecting-keyboards-and-mouse-devices)
-- [Selecting monitors](#selecting-monitors)
-
-### Selecting USB hubs
-The USB hubs that are used in a MultiPoint Services system can be a generic USB hub. Such hubs typically have four or more USB ports, and they allow multiple USB devices to be connected to a single USB port on the computer. Some other devices, such as keyboards and video monitors, may also incorporate a USB hub into their design.
-
-An additional consideration is the use of an *externally powered* hub, instead of a *bus\-powered* hub. With a bus\-powered hub, the amount of current that is provided by the host computer must be sufficient to provide power to all the peripheral devices that are plugged\-in to the hub, without degrading system performance. An externally powered hub allows you to connect more peripheral devices and provide sufficient power to all of them. The use of externally powered hubs can help prevent performance issues, port failures, and other intermittent issues.
-
-When selecting a USB hub for your MultiPoint Services system, consider its use. The hub can be used as a *station hub*, an *intermediate hub*, or a *downstream hub*. Refer to the following table for descriptions about each hub type. We recommend all USB devices to be USB 2.0 or later.
-
-| Description | Powered |
-|--|--|
-| Station Hub | Can be bus\-powered unless high\-powered devices will be plugged\-in to it or a downstream hub will be connected to it |
-| Intermediate Hub | Should be externally powered |
-| Downstream Hub | Can be externally powered or bus powered depending on the devices that are plugged\-in to the hub |
-| Active USB Extender Cable | Active USB cables that include a USB hub are typically bus powered; therefore, they are not recommended for connecting station hubs to the computer. |
-
-### Selecting USB zero clients
-A USB zero client is a USB hub that contains a video output. Therefore, it allows a monitor to be connected to the computer through a USB connection. For more information about using USB zero clients for video, see [Selecting video hardware](#selecting-video-hardware) in this document. A USB zero client can also enable the connection of a variety of USB and non\-USB devices to the hub. USB zero clients are produced by specific hardware manufacturers, and they require installing a device\-specific driver.
-
-### Selecting keyboards and mouse devices
-The keyboard and mouse devices that you plug\-in to the station will typically be USB devices. Some USB zero clients provide PS\/2 ports, in which case, the keyboard and mouse should use PS\/2 to connect to the station hub. You can also use a PS\/2 keyboard and mouse if you are setting up a PS\/2 direct\-video\-connected station.
-
-A keyboard with an internal hub can be used as a station hub. However, all other station devices must connect to the internal hub by using ports on the keyboard. If such a keyboard is connected to the computer through another hub, that hub will be treated as an intermediate hub.
-
-If you are using split\-screen stations, you may want to consider using a mini keyboard that does not have a number pad so that the two keyboards can fit in front of the monitor.
-
-### Selecting monitors
-There should be one monitor provided for each MultiPoint Services station, unless a split\-screen is planned. Monitors are plugged into the video card on the computer, the USB zero client or the LAN\-based client. Any type of monitor that is supported by the video card, USB zero client, or LAN\-based client can be used, including CRT monitors.
-
-Some special monitors include an internal LAN\-based client or USB zero client. Such monitors will typically include audio input\/output jacks and internal USB hubs for connecting keyboards and mice. They connect to the server through a USB or a LAN connection.
-
-#### Display resolution
-The minimum supported resolution for a station's display area is 512 x 768 pixels. If the MultiPoint Services system starts and finds that a station's display area is less than the minimum resolution, a blank screen will be displayed on that station and the station will not be usable.
-
-If a display monitor is going to be shared by two stations as split\-screen stations, the minimum requirement for the display is 1024 x 768, so that the resulting individual station screen areas are at least 512 x 768. For the best split\-screen user experience, a wide screen with a minimum of resolution of 1600 x 900 is recommended.
-
-## Selecting other station peripheral devices
-MultiPoint Services supports peripheral devices that are connected to a station hub, a USB zero client, or directly to the computer. Devices plugged into a station hub will be associated with that specific station. Other devices are available to every station when plugged directly into the computer. LAN clients can also support peripheral devices.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> A keyboard cannot be connected to a downstream hub \(for example, a hub that is plugged into a station hub\). If you plug in a keyboard to a downstream hub, any peripherals that are plugged\-in to the downstream hub will no longer be available to that station. This behavior allows the support of daisy\-chained station hubs.
-
-**Available to all stations** A USB device that is plugged into the computer \(for example, not through a station hub\) is available to all stations. Depending on the device, it can be used by multiple users at one time, or only one user can access it at a time. The following table explains how USB devices can be accessed.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> The "Connected to Host Computer" column in the table refers to the behavior when the computer running MultiPoint Services is running in station mode with stations. If you are running in console mode, the peripherals that are plugged anywhere behave in the same way as a standard server in a console session.
-
-| Description | Connected to Host Computer | Connected to Station Hub or Downstream Hub |
-|--|--|--|
-| Keyboard | Not functional, unless it is part of a PS/2 station. | Available to individual station
Cannot be connected to a downstream hub |
-| Mouse | Not functional, unless it is part of a PS/2 station. | Available to individual station |
-| Speaker/headphones | Not functional, unless it is part of a PS/2 station. | Available to individual station |
-| USB storage device | Available to all stations | Available to individual station |
-| HID Consumer Control | Not functional | Available to individual station |
-| Other USB devices, such as cameras, document readers, and DVD drives | Available to all stations if supported by Windows Server 2012 | Available to all stations if supported by Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services |
-
-## Selecting RDP\-over\-LAN\-connected station hardware
-Any LAN client that can connect to Remote Desktop Services, by using Remote Desktop Protocol, can become a MultiPoint Services station.
-
-If you want the LAN client to only be used as a MultiPoint station, you may want to "lock down" your LAN client. For example, configure your thin client so that it can only connect to a MultiPoint Services session, or configure your desktop computers so that access to desktop icons and Start Menu items such as a web browser is removed to prevent direct Internet access. You can make these configurations using your LAN client configuration tools or group or local policies.
-
-## Selecting audio devices
-It is important to make sure that when you select audio devices, they can be plugged into the station hub, USB zero client or LAN client. Some USB hubs, USB zero clients, and LAN clients have an analog audio jack that can be used with traditional analog audio devices \(such as headphones or earbuds\). Station hubs that do not have analog jacks can use USB audio devices.
-
-If you have configured a PS\/2 direct\-video\-connected station by using PS\/2 ports on the computer's motherboard for the keyboard and mouse, you must use the analog audio on the computer's motherboard in order for the audio device to be available to this station when the MultiPoint Services system is running in station mode.
-
-If you do not have a PS\/2 direct\-video\-connected station, the host audio device on the system's motherboard will be available only when the MultiPoint Services system is running in console mode.

+
+With Dynamic Memory, you can attain higher consolidation numbers with improved reliability for restart operations. This capability can lead to lower costs, especially in environments that have many idle or low-load virtual machines, such as pooled VDI environments. Dynamic Memory run-time configuration changes can reduce downtime and provide increased agility to respond to requirement changes.
+
+Hyper-V running on Windows Server automatically calculates an amount of memory to reserve for exclusive use by the management host operating system. This memory is used to run virtualization services. If the computer is part of a failover cluster, Hyper-V also reserves enough memory to run failover cluster services.
+
+## Technical overview
+
+Dynamic Memory defines startup memory as the minimum amount of memory that a virtual machine can have. However, Windows requires more memory during startup than the steady state. As a result, administrators sometimes assign extra memory to a virtual machine because Hyper-V can't reclaim memory from these virtual machines after startup. Dynamic Memory introduces a minimum memory setting, which allows Hyper-V to reclaim the unused memory from the virtual machines. This feature is reflected as increased virtual machine consolidation numbers, especially in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environments.
+
+Windows Server also introduced Smart Paging for reliable virtual machine restart operations. Although minimum memory increases virtual machine consolidation numbers, it also brings a challenge. If a virtual machine has a smaller amount of memory than its startup memory and if it's restarted, Hyper-V needs additional memory to restart the virtual machine. Due to host memory pressure or virtual machine states, Hyper-V might not always have additional memory available. This limitation can cause sporadic virtual machine restart failures. Smart Paging bridges the memory gap between minimum memory and startup memory, and allows virtual machines to restart reliably.
+
+### Minimum memory configuration with reliable restart operation
+
+As in the previous version of Dynamic Memory, you can configure a minimum memory amount for virtual machines, and Hyper-V continues to ensure that it always assigns this amount to running virtual machines.
+
+To provide a reliable restart experience for virtual machines configured with less minimum memory than startup memory, Hyper-V uses Smart Paging. This memory management method uses disk resources as additional, temporary memory when more memory is required to restart a virtual machine. This approach has advantages and drawbacks. It provides a reliable way to keep the virtual machines running when there's no available physical memory. However, it can degrade virtual machine performance because disk access speeds are much slower than memory access speeds.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> When installing or upgrading the operating system of a virtual machine, the amount of memory that's available to the virtual machine during the installation and upgrade process is the value specified as **Startup RAM**. Even if you configure Dynamic Memory for the virtual machine, the virtual machine uses only the amount of memory configured in the **Startup RAM** setting. Ensure the **Startup RAM** value meets the minimum memory requirements of the operating system during the install or upgrade procedure.
+
+To minimize the performance impact of Smart Paging, Hyper-V uses it only when all of the following conditions occur:
+
+- The virtual machine is being restarted.
+- There's no available physical memory.
+- No memory can be reclaimed from other virtual machines running on the host.
+
+Hyper-V doesn't use Smart Paging when:
+
+- You start a virtual machine from an "off state" (instead of a restart).
+- You oversubscribe memory for a running virtual machine.
+- A virtual machine fails over in Hyper-V clusters.
+
+When you oversubscribe host memory, Hyper-V continues to rely on the paging operation in the guest operating system because it's more effective than Smart Paging. The paging operation in the guest operating system is performed by Windows Memory Manager. Windows Memory Manager has more information than the Hyper-V host about memory usage within the virtual machine, which means it can provide Hyper-V with better information to use when choosing the memory to be paged. Because of this, the system incurs less overhead compared to Smart Paging.
+
+To further reduce the impact of Smart Paging, Hyper-V removes memory from the virtual machine after it completes the start process. It accomplishes this goal by coordinating with Dynamic Memory components inside the guest operating system ("ballooning"), so the virtual machine stops using Smart Paging. With this technique, the use of Smart Paging is temporary and isn't expected to last longer than 10 minutes.
+
+Also note the following about how Hyper-V uses Smart Paging:
+
+- It creates Smart Paging files only when needed for a virtual machine.
+- It deletes Smart Paging files after it removes the additional amount of memory.
+- It doesn't use Smart Paging for this virtual machine again until another restart occurs and there's not enough physical memory.
+
+### Run-time Dynamic Memory configuration changes
+
+Hyper-V enables you to make the following configuration changes to Dynamic Memory when the virtual machine is running:
+
+- Increase the maximum memory.
+- Decrease the minimum memory.
+
+## About the Dynamic Memory settings
+
+The following virtual machine settings in Hyper-V Manager allow you to configure Dynamic Memory. Review the following descriptions to understand how the features work and how they are related.
+
+| Setting | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| Startup RAM | Specifies the amount of memory required to start the virtual machine. The value needs to be high enough to allow the guest operating system to start, but should be as low as possible to allow for optimal memory utilization and potentially higher consolidation ratios. |
+| Minimum RAM | Specifies the minimum amount of memory that should be allocated to the virtual machine after the virtual machine starts. Set the value as low as 32 MB up to a maximum value equal to the **Startup RAM** value. |
+| Maximum RAM | Specifies the maximum amount of memory that this virtual machine can use. Set the value from as low as the value for Startup RAM up to as high as 1 TB. However, a virtual machine can use only as much memory as the maximum amount supported by the guest operating system. For example, if you specify 64 GB for a virtual machine running a guest operating system that supports a maximum of 32 GB, the virtual machine can't use more than 32 GB. |
+| Memory buffer | Specifies how much memory Hyper-V attempts to assign to the virtual machine compared to the amount of memory actually needed by the applications and services running inside the virtual machine. Memory buffer is specified as a percentage because the actual amount of memory that represents the buffer changes in response to changes in memory usage while the virtual machine is running. Hyper-V uses performance counters in the virtual machine that identify committed memory to determine the current memory requirements of the virtual machine and then calculates the amount of memory to add as a buffer. The buffer is determined using the following formula: Amount of memory buffer = how much memory the virtual machine actually needs / (memory buffer value / 100). For example, if the memory committed to the guest operating system is 1,000 MB and the memory buffer is 20%, Hyper-V attempts to allocate an additional 20% (200 MB) for a total of 1,200 MB of physical memory allocated to the virtual machine. **Note:** The buffer isn't maintained when there's not enough physical memory available in the computer to give every virtual machine its requested memory buffer. |
+| Memory weight | Provides Hyper-V with a way to determine how to distribute memory among virtual machines if there's not enough physical memory available in the computer to give every virtual machine its requested amount of memory. |
+
+## Dynamic Memory / Hyper-V Memory Management FAQs
+
+The following are some frequently asked questions regarding Dynamic Memory.
+
+### Do I need to manually configure the size of the page file after installing the Hyper-V role?
+
+No, it's recommended to allow the system to manage the page file size when running Hyper-V.
+
+### How is the memory divided between the host operating system and running virtual machines?
+
+Hyper-V monitors the runtime health of the host operating system to determine how much memory it can safely allocate to virtual machines.
+
+### My virtual machine failed to start with the following error message “Not enough memory in the system to start the virtual machine” or “Could not initialize memory: Ran out of memory (0x8007000E)”. How can I tell how much memory is available for virtual machines?
+
+As described earlier, Hyper-V monitors the runtime health of the host operating system to determine how much memory it can safely allocate to virtual machines.
+
+You can view the current amount of memory available to virtual machines in the following Performance Monitor counter: **Hyper-V Dynamic Memory Balancer – Available Memory**.

+# Network recommendations for Hyper-V in a failover cluster
+
+When you deploy a highly available Hyper-V solution, you must consider and plan for several different types of network traffic. Design your network configuration with the following goals in mind:
+
+- Ensure network quality of service
+- Provide network redundancy
+- Isolate traffic to defined networks
+- Where applicable, take advantage of Server Message Block (SMB) Multichannel
+
+This topic provides network configuration recommendations that are specific to a Hyper-V cluster running Windows Server. It includes an overview of the different network traffic types, recommendations for how to isolate traffic, recommendations for features such as NIC Teaming, Quality of Service (QoS), and Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ), and a Windows PowerShell script that shows an example of converged networking, where the network traffic on a Hyper-V cluster routes through one external virtual switch.
+
+Windows Server supports the concept of converged networking, where different types of network traffic share the same Ethernet network infrastructure. Features such as Hyper-V QoS and the ability to add virtual network adapters to the management operating system enable you to consolidate the network traffic on fewer physical adapters. Combined with traffic isolation methods such as VLANs, you can isolate and control the network traffic.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> If you use System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) to create or manage Hyper-V clusters, you must use VMM to configure the network settings that are described in this topic.
+
+## Overview of different network traffic types
+
+When you deploy a Hyper-V cluster, you must plan for several types of network traffic. The following table summarizes the different traffic types.
+
+| Network Traffic Type | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| Management | Provides connectivity between the server that is running Hyper-V and basic infrastructure functionality. Use it to manage the Hyper-V management operating system and virtual machines. |
+| Cluster | Use it for inter-node cluster communication such as the cluster heartbeat and Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) redirection. |
+| Live migration | Use it for virtual machine live migration. |
+| Storage | Use it for SMB traffic or for iSCSI traffic. |
+| Replica traffic | Use it for virtual machine replication through the Hyper-V Replica feature. |
+| Virtual machine access | Use it for virtual machine connectivity. Typically requires external network connectivity to service client requests. |
+
+The following sections provide more detailed information about each network traffic type.
+
+### Management traffic
+
+A management network provides connectivity between the operating system of the physical Hyper-V host (also known as the *management operating system*) and basic infrastructure functionality such as Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), Domain Name System (DNS), and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). It also manages the server that is running Hyper-V and the virtual machines.
+
+The management network must have connectivity between all required infrastructure, and to any location from which you want to manage the server.
+
+### Cluster traffic
+
+A failover cluster monitors and communicates the cluster state between all members of the cluster. This communication is very important to maintain cluster health. If a cluster node doesn't communicate a regular health check (known as the *cluster heartbeat*), the cluster considers the node down and removes the node from cluster membership. The cluster then transfers the workload to another cluster node.
+
+Inter-node cluster communication also includes traffic that's associated with CSV. For CSV, where all nodes of a cluster can access shared block-level storage simultaneously, the nodes in the cluster must communicate to orchestrate storage-related activities. Also, if a cluster node loses its direct connection to the underlying CSV storage, CSV has resiliency features which redirect the storage I/O over the network to another cluster node that can access the storage.
+
+### Live migration traffic
+
+Live migration enables the transparent movement of running virtual machines from one Hyper-V host to another without a dropped network connection or perceived downtime.
+
+Use a dedicated network or VLAN for live migration traffic to ensure quality of service and for traffic isolation and security. Live migration traffic can saturate network links. This saturation can cause other traffic to experience increased latency. The time it takes to fully migrate one or more virtual machines depends on the throughput of the live migration network. Therefore, you must ensure that you configure the appropriate quality of service for this traffic. To provide the best performance, live migration traffic isn't encrypted.
+
+You can designate multiple networks as live migration networks in a prioritized list. For example, you might have one migration network for cluster nodes in the same cluster that is fast (10 GB), and a second migration network for cross-cluster migrations that is slower (1 GB).
+
+All Hyper-V hosts that can initiate or receive a live migration must have connectivity to a network that is configured to allow live migrations. Because live migration can occur between nodes in the same cluster, between nodes in different clusters, and between a cluster and a stand-alone Hyper-V host, make sure that all these servers can access a live migration-enabled network.
+
+### Storage traffic
+
+For a virtual machine to be highly available, all members of the Hyper-V cluster must access the virtual machine state. This state includes the configuration state and the virtual hard disks. To meet this requirement, you must have shared storage.
+
+In Windows Server, you can provide shared storage in two ways:
+
+- **Shared block storage**. Shared block storage options include Fibre Channel, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), iSCSI, and shared Serial Attached SCSI (SAS).
+- **File-based storage**. Remote file-based storage is provided through SMB 3.0.
+
+SMB 3.0 includes new functionality known as SMB Multichannel. SMB Multichannel automatically detects and uses multiple network interfaces to deliver high performance and highly reliable storage connectivity.
+
+By default, SMB Multichannel is enabled and requires no additional configuration. Use at least two network adapters of the same type and speed so that SMB Multichannel is in effect. Network adapters that support RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) are recommended but not required.
+
+SMB 3.0 also automatically discovers and takes advantage of available hardware offloads, such as RDMA. A feature known as SMB Direct supports the use of network adapters that have RDMA capability. SMB Direct provides the best performance possible while also reducing file server and client overhead.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The NIC Teaming feature is incompatible with RDMA-capable network adapters. Therefore, if you intend to use the RDMA capabilities of the network adapter, don't team those adapters.
+
+Both iSCSI and SMB use the network to connect the storage to cluster members. Because reliable storage connectivity and performance are very important for Hyper-V virtual machines, use multiple networks (physical or logical) to ensure that these requirements are achieved.
+
+For more information about SMB Direct and SMB Multichannel, see [Improve Performance of a File Server with SMB Direct](/windows-server/storage/file-server/smb-direct).
+
+### Replica traffic
+
+Hyper-V Replica provides asynchronous replication of Hyper-V virtual machines between two hosting servers or Hyper-V clusters. Replica traffic occurs between the primary and Replica sites.
+
+Hyper-V Replica automatically discovers and uses available network interfaces to transmit replication traffic. To throttle and control the replica traffic bandwidth, define QoS policies with minimum bandwidth weight.
+
+If you use certificate-based authentication, Hyper-V Replica encrypts the traffic. If you use Kerberos-based authentication, traffic isn't encrypted.
+
+### Virtual machine access traffic
+
+Most virtual machines require some form of network or Internet connectivity. For example, workloads that run on virtual machines typically need external network connectivity to service client requests. This connectivity can include tenant access in a hosted cloud implementation. Because multiple subclasses of traffic exist, such as traffic that's internal to the datacenter and traffic that's external (for example, to a computer outside the datacenter or to the Internet), these virtual machines need one or more networks to communicate.
+
+To separate virtual machine traffic from the management operating system, use VLANs that aren't exposed to the management operating system.
+
+## How to isolate the network traffic on a Hyper-V cluster
+
+To provide the most consistent performance and functionality and to improve network security, isolate the different types of network traffic.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> If you want to have a physical or logical network that's dedicated to a specific traffic type, you must assign each physical or virtual network adapter to a unique subnet. For each cluster node, Failover Clustering recognizes only one IP address per subnet.
+
+### Isolate traffic on the management network
+
+Use a firewall or IPsec encryption, or both, to isolate management traffic. In addition, use auditing to ensure that only defined and allowed communication is transmitted through the management network.
+
+### Isolate traffic on the cluster network
+
+To isolate inter-node cluster traffic, configure a network to either allow cluster network communication or not to allow cluster network communication. For a network that allows cluster network communication, you can also configure whether to allow clients to connect through the network. This configuration includes client and management operating system access.
+
+A failover cluster can use any network that allows cluster network communication for cluster monitoring, state communication, and for CSV-related communication.
+
+To configure a network to allow or not to allow cluster network communication, use Failover Cluster Manager or Windows PowerShell. To use Failover Cluster Manager, select **Networks** in the navigation tree. In the **Networks** pane, right-click a network, then select **Properties**.
+
+:::image type="content" source="media/failover-cluster-network-recommendations/management-network-properties.png" alt-text="A screenshot of the Failover Cluster Manager Network Properties dialog showing options to allow cluster communication and client connectivity.":::
+
+The following Windows PowerShell example configures a network named *Management Network* to allow cluster and client connectivity.
+
+```powershell
+(Get-ClusterNetwork -Name "Management Network").Role = 3
+```
+
+The **Role** property has the following possible values.
+
+| Value | Network Setting |
+| --- | --- |
+| 0 | Do not allow cluster network communication |
+| 1 | Allow cluster network communication only |
+| 3 | Allow cluster network communication and client connectivity |
+
+The following table shows the recommended settings for each type of network traffic. Virtual machine access traffic isn't listed because you should isolate these networks from the management operating system by using VLANs that aren't exposed to the host. Therefore, virtual machine networks shouldn't appear in Failover Cluster Manager as cluster networks.
+
+| Network Type | Recommended Setting |
+| --- | --- |
+| Management | Both of the following: - Allow cluster network communication on this network - Allow clients to connect through this network |
+| Cluster | Allow cluster network communication on this network **Note:** Clear the **Allow clients to connect through this network** check box. |
+| Live migration | Allow cluster network communication on this network **Note:** Clear the **Allow clients to connect through this network** check box. |
+| Storage | Do not allow cluster network communication on this network |
+| Replica traffic | Both of the following: - Allow cluster network communication on this network - Allow clients to connect through this network |
+
+### Isolate traffic on the live migration network
+
+By default, live migration traffic uses the cluster network topology to discover available networks and to establish priority. However, you can manually configure live migration preferences to isolate live migration traffic to only the networks that you define. To do this, you can use Failover Cluster Manager or Windows PowerShell. To use Failover Cluster Manager, in the navigation tree, right-click **Networks**, then select **Live Migration Settings**.
+
+:::image type="content" source="media/failover-cluster-network-recommendations/live-migration-settings.png" alt-text="A screenshot of the Live Migration Settings dialog in Failover Cluster Manager listing available cluster networks and their priority order.":::
+
+The following Windows PowerShell example enables live migration traffic only on a network named *Migration_Network*.
+
+```powershell
+Get-ClusterResourceType -Name "Virtual Machine" | Set-ClusterParameter -Name MigrationExcludeNetworks -Value ([String]::Join(";",(Get-ClusterNetwork | Where-Object {$_.Name -ne "Migration_Network"}).ID))
+```
+
+### Isolate traffic on the storage network
+
+To isolate SMB storage traffic, use Windows PowerShell to set SMB Multichannel constraints. SMB Multichannel constraints restrict SMB communication between a given file server and the Hyper-V host to one or more defined network interfaces.
+
+For example, the following Windows PowerShell command sets a constraint for SMB traffic from the file server *FileServer1* to the network interfaces *SMB1*, *SMB2*, *SMB3*, and *SMB4* on the Hyper-V host from which you run this command.
+
+```powershell
+New-SmbMultichannelConstraint -ServerName "FileServer1" -InterfaceAlias "SMB1", "SMB2", "SMB3", "SMB4"
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+>
+> - You must run this command on each node of the Hyper-V cluster.
+> - To find the interface name, use the **Get-NetAdapter** cmdlet.
+
+For more information, see [New-SmbMultichannelConstraint](/powershell/module/smbshare/new-smbmultichannelconstraint).
+
+To isolate iSCSI traffic, configure the iSCSI target with interfaces on a dedicated network (logical or physical). Use the corresponding interfaces on the cluster nodes when you configure the iSCSI initiator.
+
+### Isolate traffic for replication
+
+To isolate Hyper-V Replica traffic, use a different subnet for the primary and Replica sites.
+
+If you want to isolate the replica traffic to a particular network adapter, define a persistent static route that redirects the network traffic to the defined network adapter. To specify a static route, use the following command:
+
+`route add mask if -p`
+
+For example, to add a static route to the 10.1.17.0 network (example network of the Replica site) that uses a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, a gateway of 10.0.17.1 (example IP address of the primary site), where the interface number for the adapter that you want to dedicate to replica traffic is 8, run the following command:
+
+`route add 10.1.17.1 mask 255.255.255.0 10.0.17.1 if 8 -p`
+
+## NIC Teaming (LBFO) recommendations
+
+Team physical network adapters in the management operating system. This configuration provides bandwidth aggregation and network traffic failover if a network hardware failure or outage occurs.
+
+The NIC Teaming feature, also known as load balancing and failover (LBFO), provides two basic sets of algorithms for teaming.
+
+- **Switch-dependent modes**. Requires the switch to participate in the teaming process. Typically requires all the network adapters in the team to be connected to the same switch.
+- **Switch-independent modes**. Doesn't require the switch to participate in the teaming process. Although not required, team network adapters can be connected to different switches.
+
+Both modes provide bandwidth aggregation and traffic failover if a network adapter failure or network disconnection occurs. However, in most cases only switch-independent teaming provides traffic failover for a switch failure.
+
+NIC Teaming also provides a traffic distribution algorithm that's optimized for Hyper-V workloads. This algorithm is referred to as the *Hyper-V port* load balancing mode. This mode distributes the traffic based on the MAC address of the virtual network adapters. The algorithm uses round robin as the load-balancing mechanism. For example, on a server that has two teamed physical network adapters and four virtual network adapters, the first and third virtual network adapter use the first physical adapter, and the second and fourth virtual network adapter use the second physical adapter. Hyper-V port mode also enables the use of hardware offloads such as virtual machine queue (VMQ) which reduces CPU overhead for networking operations.
+
+### NIC Teaming recommendations
+
+For a clustered Hyper-V deployment, use the following settings when you configure the additional properties of a team.
+
+| Property Name | Recommended Setting |
+| --- | --- |
+| Teaming mode | Switch Independent (the default setting) |
+| Load balancing mode | Hyper-V Port |
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> NIC teaming disables the RDMA capability of the network adapters. To use SMB Direct and the RDMA capability of the network adapters, don't use NIC Teaming.
+
+For more information about the NIC Teaming modes and how to configure NIC Teaming settings, see [Hyper-V Virtual Switch](/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v/virtual-switch).
+
+## Quality of Service (QoS) recommendations
+
+Use QoS technologies that are available in Windows Server to meet the service requirements of a workload or an application. QoS provides the following features:
+
+- Measures network bandwidth, detects changing network conditions (such as congestion or availability of bandwidth), and prioritizes or throttles network traffic.
+- Enables you to converge multiple types of network traffic on a single adapter.
+- Includes a minimum bandwidth feature that guarantees a certain amount of bandwidth to a given type of traffic.
+
+Configure appropriate Hyper-V QoS on the virtual switch to ensure that network requirements are met for all appropriate types of network traffic on the Hyper-V cluster.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> You can use QoS to control outbound traffic, but not the inbound traffic. For example, with Hyper-V Replica, you can use QoS to control outbound traffic (from the primary server), but not the inbound traffic (from the Replica server).
+
+### QoS recommendations
+
+For a Hyper-V cluster, configure Hyper-V QoS that applies to the virtual switch. When you configure QoS, complete the following steps:
+
+- **Configure minimum bandwidth in weight mode instead of in bits per second.** Minimum bandwidth specified by weight is more flexible and it's compatible with other features, such as live migration and NIC Teaming. For more information, see the **MinimumBandwidthMode** parameter in [New-VMSwitch](/powershell/module/hyper-v/new-vmswitch).
+- **Enable and configure QoS for all virtual network adapters.** Assign a weight to all virtual adapters. For more information, see [Set-VMNetworkAdapter](/powershell/module/hyper-v/set-vmnetworkadapter). To make sure that all virtual adapters have a weight, configure the **DefaultFlowMinimumBandwidthWeight** parameter on the virtual switch to a reasonable value. For more information, see [Set-VMSwitch](/powershell/module/hyper-v/set-vmswitch).
+
+The following table recommends some generic weight values. You can assign a value from 1 to 100. For guidelines to consider when you assign weight values, see [QoS minimum bandwidth best practices](network-quality-of-service-bandwidth-limits.md).
+
+| Network Classification | Weight |
+| --- | --- |
+| Default weight | 0 |
+| Virtual machine access | 1, 3, or 5 (low, medium, and high-throughput virtual machines) |
+| Cluster | 10 |
+| Management | 10 |
+| Replica traffic | 10 |
+| Live migration | 40 |
+| Storage | 40 |
+
+## Virtual machine queue (VMQ) recommendations
+
+Virtual machine queue (VMQ) is a feature that's available to computers that have VMQ-capable network hardware. VMQ uses hardware packet filtering to deliver packet data from an external virtual network directly to virtual network adapters. This feature reduces the overhead of routing packets. When you enable VMQ, a dedicated queue is established on the physical network adapter for each virtual network adapter that requests a queue.
+
+Not all physical network adapters support VMQ. Those that support VMQ have a fixed number of queues available, and the number varies. To determine whether a network adapter supports VMQ, and how many queues it supports, use the [Get-NetAdapterVmq](/powershell/module/netadapter/get-netadaptervmq) cmdlet.
+
+You can assign virtual machine queues to any virtual network adapter. This capability includes virtual network adapters that you expose to the management operating system. Assign queues according to a weight value, in a first-come first-serve manner. By default, all virtual adapters have a weight of 100.
+
+### VMQ recommendations
+
+Increase the VMQ weight for interfaces with heavy inbound traffic, such as storage and live migration networks. To do this, use the [Set-VMNetworkAdapter](/powershell/module/hyper-v/set-vmnetworkadapter) Windows PowerShell cmdlet.
+
+## Example of converged networking: routing traffic through one Hyper-V virtual switch
+
+The following Windows PowerShell script shows an example of how you can route traffic on a Hyper-V cluster through one Hyper-V external virtual switch. The example uses two physical 10 GB network adapters that are teamed by using the NIC Teaming feature. The script configures a Hyper-V cluster node with a management interface, a live migration interface, a cluster interface, and four SMB interfaces. After the script, there is more information about how to add an interface for Hyper-V Replica traffic. The following diagram shows the example network configuration.
+
+:::image type="content" source="media/failover-cluster-network-recommendations/converged-networking-diagram.png" alt-text="A diagram of a converged Hyper-V networking configuration using a teamed 10 Gb virtual switch with separate VLANs for management, cluster, live migration, and four SMB interfaces.":::
+
+The example also configures network isolation which restricts cluster traffic from the management interface, restricts SMB traffic to the SMB interfaces, and restricts live migration traffic to the live migration interface.
+
+```powershell

+
+### Hyper-V Replica considerations
+
+If you also use Hyper-V Replica in your environment, you can add another virtual network adapter to the management operating system for replica traffic. For example:
+
+```powershell
+Add-VMNetworkAdapter –ManagementOS –Name "Replica" –SwitchName "TeamSwitch"
+Set-VMNetworkAdapterVlan -ManagementOS -VMNetworkAdapterName "Replica" –Access –VlanId 17
+Set-VMNetworkAdapter -ManagementOS -Name "Replica" -VmqWeight 80 -MinimumBandwidthWeight 10
+
+# If the host is clustered – configure the cluster name and role
+(Get-ClusterNetwork | Where-Object {$_.Address -eq "10.0.17.0"}).Name = "Replica"
+(Get-ClusterNetwork -Name "Replica").Role = 3
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> If you're instead using policy-based QoS, where you can throttle outgoing traffic regardless of the interface on which it is sent, you can use either of the following methods to throttle Hyper-V Replica traffic: Create a QoS policy that is based on the destination port. In the following example, the network listener on the Replica server or cluster is configured to use port 8080 to receive replication traffic.
+
+## Appendix: Encryption
+
+### Cluster traffic encryption
+
+By default, cluster communication isn't encrypted. You can enable encryption if you want. However, encryption adds performance overhead. To enable encryption, use the following Windows PowerShell command to set the security level for the cluster.
+
+```powershell
+(Get-Cluster). SecurityLevel = 2
+```
+
+The following table shows the different security level values.
+
+| Security Description | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Clear text | 0 |
+| Signed (default) | 1 |
+| Encrypted | 2 |
+
+### Live migration traffic encryption
+
+Live migration traffic isn't encrypted. You can enable IPsec or other network layer encryption technologies if you want. However, encryption technologies typically affect performance.
+
+### SMB traffic
+
+By default, SMB traffic isn't encrypted. Therefore, use a dedicated network (physical or logical) or use encryption. For SMB traffic, you can use SMB encryption, layer-2, or layer-3 encryption. SMB encryption is the preferred method.
+
+### Replica traffic encryption
+
+If you use Kerberos-based authentication, Hyper-V Replica traffic isn't encrypted. Encrypt replication traffic that transits public networks over the WAN or the Internet. Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption as the encryption method. You can also use IPsec. However, using IPsec might significantly affect performance.

+# Data Exchange: Using key-value pairs to share information between the host and guest on Hyper-V
+
+Data Exchange is an integration service (also known as key-value pair exchange or KVP) that can be used to share small pieces of information between a virtual machine (guest) and its Hyper-V host. General information about the virtual machine and host is automatically created and stored as key-value pairs. You can also create your own pairs to share custom data.
+
+Key-value pairs consist of a "key" and a "value". Both are strings; no other data types are supported. When a key-value pair is created or changed, it becomes visible to both the guest and the host. KVP data travels over the Hyper-V VMbus and doesn't require any network connectivity between the guest and host.
+
+Once created, key-value pairs remain until they're deleted. Any application that creates key-value pairs should delete them when they're no longer needed. Key-value pairs move with the virtual machine during Live Migration.
+
+## Windows guests
+
+On Windows guests, KVP data is stored in the registry under:
+
+```text
+HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Virtual Machine
+```
+
+The data is organized in these subkeys:
+
+- **Virtual Machine\\Auto** – Data describing the guest. Created by integration service drivers after they load. Visible to the host as intrinsic data.
+- **Virtual Machine\\External** – Data pushed to the guest from the host by a user.
+- **Virtual Machine\\Guest** – Data created on the guest. Visible to the host as non‑intrinsic data.
+- **Virtual Machine\\Guest\\Parameter** – Data pushed to the guest from the host that describes the host.
+
+Adding values from within the guest is as simple as creating a new string value under `HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Virtual Machine\Guest`. You must be an administrator in the guest to modify this location. You can use WMI (PowerShell or other tooling) from the host or a remote machine (with permissions) to retrieve the value.
+
+For information about registry size limits, see the (legacy) article [Registry Element Size Limits](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/desktop/ms724872.aspx).
+
+### Add a new key-value pair in the guest
+
+In this example, the value of **Status** is set to `Ready`:
+
+```powershell
+$regPath = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Virtual Machine\Guest"
+Set-ItemProperty -Path $regPath -Name "Status" -Value "Ready" -Type String
+```
+
+You can use the same syntax to change the value.
+
+### Query key-value pairs in the guest
+
+To query the value of the **External** subkey (data pushed to the guest from the host):
+
+```powershell
+$regPath = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Virtual Machine\External"
+Get-ItemProperty -Path $regPath -Name "Name"
+```
+
+## Linux guests
+
+Linux doesn't have a registry, so KVP items are stored in the file system. A daemon process, `hv_kvp_daemon`, must be running to handle processing. For most distributions with Linux Integration Services (LIS) or in-kernel drivers installed, this daemon starts automatically. In some cases, extra steps may be required to install and start the daemon.
+
+The Linux integration services implement data exchange with KVP pools. A KVP pool is a file stored in a specific path. There are four pool files:
+
+```text
+/var/lib/hyperv/.kvp_pool_0
+/var/lib/hyperv/.kvp_pool_1
+/var/lib/hyperv/.kvp_pool_2
+/var/lib/hyperv/.kvp_pool_3
+```
+
+These pool files map to the following Windows registry key sets:
+
+- Pool 0: `Virtual Machine\External`
+- Pool 1: `Virtual Machine\Guest`
+- Pool 2: `Virtual Machine\Auto`
+- Pool 3: `Virtual Machine\Guest\Parameter`
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> For more information about Linux KVP support, see [Linux and FreeBSD Virtual Machines on Hyper-V](Supported-Linux-and-FreeBSD-virtual-machines-for-Hyper-V-on-Windows.md).
+>
+> The key-value pair infrastructure might not function correctly without a Linux software update. Contact your distribution vendor for an update if you encounter issues.
+
+### Pool structure
+
+Each pool file contains records with this structure:
+
+```c
+struct kvp_record
+{
+ unsigned char key[ HV_KVP_EXCHANGE_MAK_KEY_SIZE ];
+ unsigned char value[ HV_KVP_EXCHANGE_MAX_VALUE_SIZE ];
+};
+```
+
+Those size constants are defined in `hyperv.h` (a kernel header distributed with the Linux kernel sources).

+## Working with key-value pairs from the host using WMI
+
+The following examples use the WMI v2 namespace. For WMI v1 (older versions), remove the `\v2` segment from the namespace path.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> If you're using Windows 8 or Windows 8.1, install Client Hyper-V to get the namespaces.
+
+### Read the value from the host
+
+This example gets the value of the key `Status` from a VM named `Vm1`:
+
+```powershell
+$vm = Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\virtualization\v2 -Class \
+ Msvm_ComputerSystem -Filter {ElementName = 'Vm1'}
+$vm.GetRelated("Msvm_KvpExchangeComponent").GuestExchangeItems | % { \
+ $GuestExchangeItemXml = ([XML]$_).SelectSingleNode(\
+ "/INSTANCE/PROPERTY[@NAME='Name']/VALUE[child::text() = 'Status']")
+ if ($GuestExchangeItemXml -ne $null)
+ {
+ $GuestExchangeItemXml.SelectSingleNode(\
+ "/INSTANCE/PROPERTY[@NAME='Data']/VALUE/child::text()" ).Value
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### Add or modify key-value pairs from the host
+
+To add a key-value pair from the host, get instances of both the management service and the VM and create a new instance of `Msvm_KvpExchangeDataItem`. When creating the new instance, specify the `Name`, `Data`, and `Source` (must be `0`). Then call `AddKvpItems`.
+
+Querying for host-created key-value pairs is similar to guest queries but requires an additional association hop to `Msvm_KvpExchangeComponentSettingData`. Modifying and deleting values works the same way—specify the same key name and call the appropriate `Modify` or `Remove` method.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> The examples below use the v2 namespace. If you're using Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2, remove the `\v2` segment.
+
+### Add a new key-value pair
+
+```powershell
+$VmMgmt = Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\virtualization\v2 -Class \

+title: Network QoS Minimum Bandwidth Best Practices for Hyper-V
+description: Guidance and best practices for configuring Hyper-V Quality of Service (QoS) minimum bandwidth on Windows Server.
+author: dknappettmsft
+ms.author: daknappe
+ms.topic: best-practice

+
+# Network QoS minimum bandwidth best practices for Hyper-V
+
+Use these best practices to configure Hyper‑V network Quality of Service (QoS) Minimum Bandwidth on Windows Server. The guidance helps you choose the appropriate mode (weight or bits per second), assign effective weights, and avoid configuration pitfalls with NIC Teaming and Data Center Bridging (DCB).
+
+The article covers: weight assignment strategy, when to prefer weight over absolute bandwidth, interaction with teaming algorithms, coexistence considerations for QoS and DCB, and mitigation techniques for uneven bandwidth distribution.
+
+## Guidelines for using Minimum Bandwidth
+
+Following are guidelines for configuring Minimum Bandwidth.
+
+1. **Keep the sum of the weights near or under 100**. The larger the value for weight, the higher rounding error or quantization error there is when QoS Packet Scheduler partitions the bandwidth among workloads. For example, if there are 20 VMs that you want to share the network bandwidth, rather than assigning a weight of 10 to each of them (sum would be 200), assign each VM a weight of 1.
+1. **Assign a relatively large weight to critical workloads even if they don't require that percentage of bandwidth**. For example, management and cluster heartbeat traffic on a computer that is running Hyper-V rarely require more than 1–2% of bandwidth over a 10 GbE NIC—but they're critical. Instead of assigning them a weight of 1 or 2, assign each a weight of 5 or more.
+1. **Gap the weight assignment to differentiate service levels**. Don't use consecutive numbers (1,2,3). For example, if you have VMs named Gold, Silver, and Bronze on the same Hyper-V virtual switch, assign weights 5 (Gold), 3 (Silver), 1 (Bronze) rather than 3,2,1.
+1. **Account for unfiltered / catch‑all traffic**. For example, if Storage, Live Migration, and Cluster are filtered out with workload-specific filters, group the rest of the network traffic with a wildcard filter as a single flow that has a weight assignment.
+
+## Minimum Bandwidth modes
+
+When you create a Hyper-V virtual switch with PowerShell, choose one of two Minimum Bandwidth configuration modes. These modes determine how you quantify minimum bandwidth for a workload:
+
+- Weight (integer 1–100)
+- Bits per second (BPS)
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Configure Minimum Bandwidth by weight rather than BPS. Weight is more flexible and compatible with features such as Live Migration and NIC Teaming.
+
+Example scenario: A VM configured with a Minimum Bandwidth of 500 Mbps might fail Live Migration to a destination host that can't guarantee 500 Mbps spare bandwidth. If you specify Minimum Bandwidth by weight (for example, 3), the sum of weights simply increases by 3 and migration succeeds (assuming no other constraints).
+
+If you must specify minimum bandwidth in an absolute number (BPS), use these guidelines:
+
+- The minimum unit is 1% of link capacity. On a 10 GbE NIC, the minimum allocatable bandwidth per virtual network adapter is 100 Mbps.
+- Values are rounded to the nearest percent point. For example, 234 Mbps rounds down to 200 Mbps (2% of a 10 GbE link).
+
+Use the `-MinimumBandwidthMode` parameter of `New-VMSwitch` to specify the mode:
+
+```powershell
+New-VMSwitch "QoS Switch by Weight" -NetAdapterName "External NIC" -MinimumBandwidthMode Weight
+```
+
+```powershell
+New-VMSwitch "QoS Switch by BPS" -NetAdapterName "External NIC" -MinimumBandwidthMode Absolute
+```
+
+For more information, see the PowerShell reference topic `New-VMSwitch`.
+
+## Minimum Bandwidth and Data Center Bridging (DCB)
+
+QoS Minimum Bandwidth (enforced by QoS Packet Scheduler in Windows) and Data Center Bridging (DCB, enforced by a capable NIC) both ensure a workload receives its fair share of bandwidth under congestion. They're **not** designed to work together for the same networking stack or NIC.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Don't enable both Minimum Bandwidth and DCB for workloads that share the same networking stack or NIC.
+
+You can enable both Minimum Bandwidth and DCB on one server only when they apply to separate networking stacks or separate NICs.
+
+## Configuring QoS and NIC Teaming
+
+NIC Teaming provides:
+
+- Bandwidth aggregation (distribution across team members)
+- Traffic failover (maintains connectivity on component failure)
+
+NIC Teaming distribution algorithms:
+
+- Hyper-V virtual switch port (hash based on switch port of a VM or management OS virtual NIC)
+- Address hashing (hash based on MAC, IP, and transport port fields)
+
+QoS interaction with NIC Teaming:
+
+- **Classification and Tagging** – Works seamlessly; traffic is tagged before hashing.
+- **Priority-based Flow Control (PFC)** – Works seamlessly; ensure consistent enablement across all team members.
+- **Bandwidth Management** – Details in the following section.
+
+### Maximum Bandwidth
+
+Works seamlessly: QoS Packet Scheduler throttles flows before NIC Teaming hashes them to team members.
+
+### Minimum Bandwidth (weight mode)
+
+QoS Packet Scheduler partitions bandwidth among flows by assigned weights before hashing. A problem can occur when the NIC Teaming algorithm is Hyper-V switch port: each VM (single vNIC) becomes a single flow. Teaming could hash high‑weight VMs to one member and low‑weight VMs to another, resulting in effective equal share rather than proportional share.
+
+This issue is less pronounced when:
+
+- Many VMs share the virtual switch
+- The NIC Teaming algorithm is Address hashing (more granular flows – e.g., each TCP connection)
+
+Mitigation: script VM startup order so groups of same-weight VMs are brought up together. NIC Teaming hashes virtual NICs round‑robin; grouping preserves more even weight distribution.
+
+### Hardware enforced Minimum Bandwidth (DCB)
+
+The same uneven distribution issue can arise with multiple DCB-capable NICs if hashing is skewed.
+
+### Absolute (BPS) Minimum Bandwidth with NIC Teaming
+
+If a Hyper-V switch is bound to a two‑member 1 Gb NIC team (aggregate 2 Gb), you can't safely allocate more than 1 Gb to a VM—upon single NIC failure only 1 Gb remains. Weight mode avoids this complexity, as remaining bandwidth is repartitioned proportionally.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Prefer weight mode for most deployments; it gracefully handles migration, teaming, and failure scenarios.
+
+## Summary: QoS and NIC Teaming
+
+| QoS feature | Functionality with NIC Teaming |
+|-------------|--------------------------------|
+| Maximum Bandwidth | Works seamlessly |
+| Minimum Bandwidth (weight) | Potential uneven enforcement if switch‑port algorithm skews distribution |
+| Hardware enforced Minimum Bandwidth (DCB) | Potential uneven enforcement if traffic distribution is skewed |
+| Classification and Tagging | Works seamlessly |
+| Priority-based Flow Control | Works seamlessly |

|Resize the VMConnect window|You can change the size of the VMConnect window for generation 2 virtual machines that run a Windows operating system. To do this, you might need to turn on enhanced session mode on the Hyper-V host. For virtual machines that run Ubuntu, see [Changing Ubuntu Screen Resolution in a Hyper-V VM](/archive/blogs/virtual_pc_guy/changing-ubuntu-screen-resolution-in-a-hyper-v-vm).|
