How to install SMA on Windows Azure Pack : Part 2

Before even starting to talk about the installation of “SMA” (which standands for “Service Management Automation” ) let’s briefly explain what it is and where it comes from. What is SMA?   In the Microsoft’s System Center family products there is a tool called “System Center Orchestrator” or “SCORCH“. This tool is an orchestration tool (like his name indicates us) and actually helps IT pros to…

Redirect Windows Azure Pack Desktop Connections through RDS Gateway

There are two different option to connect to a Virtual Machine in Windows Azure Pack. You can use the Console Connect with Remote Desktop Gateway or direct Remote Desktop Connection which will generate a RDP file with the Virtual Machine IP Address. Because Console Connect is quite limited, I modified the script which creates the RDP file with my Remote Desktop Gateway included.

On the Windows Azure Pack Tenant Site Server go to %SystemDrive%\inetpub\MgmtSvcTenantSite\Content\VM\Scripts\Commands and edit the VM.Command.VirtualMachine.RemoteDesktop.js script.

Search for:

requestUrl = service.getRdpUrlForRemoteDesktop(null, null, null, dataContext.activeVM.displayName, viewModel.getSelectedIpAddress());

And change it to:

requestUrl = service.getRdpUrlForRemoteDesktop(null, null, null, dataContext.activeVM.displayName, viewModel.getSelectedIpAddress() + "\r\ngatewayhostname:s:YourRDSGateway.domain.com\r\ngatewayusagemethod:i:2\r\ngatewayprofileusagemethod:i:1\r\npromptcredentialonce:i:1");

Change "YourRDSGateway.domain.com" with your Remote Desktop Gateway Server. Change, add or remove any other parameters if required.

npromptcredentialonce:i:1 - use my RD Gateway credentials for the remote computer.

Save the script, reset IIS and now all Remote Desktop Connections will redirect through your gateway server.

I use this modified script in a production and did not experienced any problems, nevertheless I would recommend backing up your server configuration and testing the script first in your test lab!

Hybrid cloud dreams made real with the new downloadable Windows Azure Pack

The Windows Azure Pack will be an installable feature for Windows Server 2012 R2 and will bring some of the features that are currently Azure-only to the server platform. Details are scant as to what is included/excluded but there are some key features like the Azure Management interface, Azure Service Bus and Azure Web Sites.

The barrier to developing solutions on Azure has been pretty low in the past, nearly everyone who wants to try out the platform either has MSDN or simply signed up for the free subscription. However, with Microsoft now allowing you to deploy your MSDN licenses onto Azure, developers now have a much wider range of technologies available to them in order to develop against whilst using the Azure platform.

This comes hand in hand with an overall reduction in the cost of all Azure services, per minute (rather than per hour) billing and additional credit to spend however you want on any Azure services.
