Remote Desktop Services on VMWare ESXi

Question

Hello.

I have a server with VMWare ESXi installed and a virtual machine with Windows Server 2019 Standard installed. I am trying to set up Remote Desktop Services on there. I have added the RDS feature and it is using the single server configuration, but when I come to make the "golden image" VM in Hyper-V it cannot connect to the internet. I have got the virtual network switch in Hyper-V connected to the host's network adapter and have all the DNS settings and such set up correctly.

I've hit a wall with this and need some help, thank you.

Hi,

I have added the RDS feature and it is using the single server configuration.

1. Do you mean you have installed {RD Virtualization host(with hyper-v role) and rdcb,rdweb} on this w2019 vm？
2. Can your RD Virtualization host(server 2019 with hyper-v role) connect to internet ?
3. Can you try to use ping command, then check if we can connect to other member servers in local network and other internet ip(or FQND) on issue "golden image" VM?
   ping hyper-v host ip address
   ping other member server address
   ping 8.8.8.8
   ping www.google.com
4. Is your golden image vm added to AD domain ?

I have got the virtual network switch in Hyper-V connected to the host's network adapter.

5. Did you set "external network" adapter in below picture for your issue gloden image vm ?
   If you try to create a new standalone vm in hyper-v host and set "external network" adapter for your new vm, will the same "internet can not access" issue happen ?

6. Did you select “create a new virtual switch on the select servers” when you create rds collection and deploy RDVirtualization host role on w2019 vm?
   

Thanks for your time!
Best Regards,
