Mastering Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V

Smart   cards

The requirements that need to be met are as follows:

Guest   OS  in  the VM  supports    Remote  Desktop Services    (for    example,    Windows

8.1/10  Pro/Enterprise/Windows  Server  2012    R2/2016).

The server  policy  in  the Hyper-V Manager server  settings    for ESM is  enabled (the

Server, Enhanced    Session Mode    Policy, and Allow   Enhanced    Session Mode    check

box are selected).  It’s    disabled    by  default.

The user    policy  in  the Hyper-V Manager server  settings    is  enabled (User   ➣

Enhanced    Session Mode    ➣   Use Enhanced    Session Mode).

The Remote  Desktop Services    service is  running in  the guest   (but    the Allow   remote

connections to  this    computer    in  System  configuration   doesn’t need    to  be  enabled).

User    logging on  is  as  a   member  of  local   administrators  or  remote  desktop users

groups  in  the guest   operating   system.

The Out Of  Box Experience  (OOBE)  Wizard  has been    completed.

When you connect to a VM that supports ESM, an initial dialog box allows the
configuration of the display and local resources that are redirected in addition to
letting you save the configuration, as shown in Figure 5.22. Any saved configurations
are written to %APPDATA%\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Client\1.0 with a
name format of vmconnect.rdp..config.
