You can install just the Session Host role service and manage it entirely with PowerShell:
You will eventually also need a License Server, which can be installed on the same Session Host or a separate sever entirely.
The RDS GUI management plug-in for Server Manager does require a domain in order to install.

That's exactly the problem i have! any solutions? because i have A LOT of standalone rds servers with windows server 2008 r2. now i'd like to create new projects with windows server 2012, but it doesn't work. and i wouldn't install always an active directory just for the remote desktop server.

This is crazy, I am also trying to configure this on a template server therefore it's not part of a domain. MICROSOFT, what are you thinking with this craziness !

This change in the Remote Desktop configuration scheme renders Windows Server 2012 useless in our environment. Here's my scenario: We have hundreds of standalone servers in service in stores across the country. The counter stations are all ThinClient terminals
connecting through RDP. The servers, for the sake of simplicity, are all configured as "workgroup" as we have no need of a domain in a single server environment. Along comes Windows "Server" 2012. In order to access the Remote Desktop configuration, the server
has to be on a domain. As it is a single server environment, the server also has to be the domain controller. Remote Desktop roles such as the RD Connection Broker can't be installed on the domain controller, so you have to demote the DC in order to install
other integral parts of RD. In order to demote the DC you have to have another DC to maintain access to the domain. Now we're forced to either install two servers per store so that one can be DC and the other can host the RD options, or set up a virtual machine
running on the server just to be a DC for a domain we don't even need. This is ridiculous! There needs to be a way to utilize Remote Desktop configuration tools in a workgroup environment.

I thought this was the windows server forum. Isn't windows 2012 server a "windows server" any more? The top of the page lists it. I have questions also as to managing a Remote Desktop server and it seems that workgroup instances have been completely left out. Management requires a session collection... but you get this when you open server manager - Remote Desktop Services - Overview - "You are currently logged on as a local administrator on the computer. You must be logged on as a domain user to manange servers and collections." Where is any information for configuring a RDP server to host sessions and RDP client licensing in a stand alone 'Workgroup' environment? Do we have to look at other OS options for hosting our applications other than Windows?
Thanks, Dale

Hi,
Thanks for your question.
For best practice, I would suggest that we post this issue at Windows Server 8 forum. You can start a discussion there, and give a feedback of server 2012 RDS component, which can get attention with experts who interested with it. Your understanding is highly appreciated.

Thank you Martin. It is disappointing because when RDS is not installed and there isn't a Session Collection, but you need to reconfigure or audit the Remote Desktop security settings for RDP, how is it done? Is there another tool or PowerShell cmdlet? After making the changes through Group Policy, it appears we'll have to query the registry directly to confirm proper settings. And if the certificate selected for TLS authentication is not correct, this will be a real pain to reconfigure by direct registry edits... Didn't Microsoft think of this??

Hi Martin,
I hate to disappoint you, but the Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration tool in no longer exists in Windows Server 2012. :-)
You need to configure this with the new server manager console.
You can find these settings on the Session Collection Properties. Assuming that you already created a Session Collection of course.
Some more info:

This is an MMC snap-in found on earlier servers, even if RDS is not installed. In Server 2012, even if the Remote Desktop Session Host role is installed, this tool is still not available.
I'm looking for the Server 2012 tool to adjust security settings like TLS authentication, High encryption level, choice of TLS certificate, NLA, etc.
Thanks!

Same problem here.It's time for us to make friends with some penguin and maybe (just maybe) sip some Wine from time to time.

So it appears for all the customers that use RDP in a workgroup environment it has become virtually impossible to host a remote application without also having the overhead of active directory. If there is a way to configure a remote app in a workgroup
setting I need to know. If power shell and hacking the registry is the only way to manage a workgroup RDP server and you can't publish a remote app, most of our clients will be forced to abandon MS for their small business needs or pay someone else to
manage it for them. Please advise.

Azzuroo, the License Mode can be set using the Group Policy Editor/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Remote Desktop Services/Remote Desktop Session Host/Licensing/Set the remote desktop licensing mode.
There are other RDS settings that can be changed through Group Policy as well. It's not as simple and straight forward as it used to be, but it can be done. Hope this helps!

How can i configure the RDSH and de Licence Server.
There is always the failure i have to configure the Licence Mode (Device or User). How can i fix that?

hey dgedes
thank you!
well than, but now i know what i have to do.
so i think for some project's i can use the RDSH in a workgroup, and i think it is supported.
the thing is, i thought i can outsource all my servers to azure, but now with a server for the active directory and one for the rds it is more expensive :(
or do you know can i use the azure active directory service for this szenario? http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/home/features/identity/
thank you for your fast answer!

What, exactly, is the logic behind making the GUI unavailable unless your server is on a domain?
I really don't want to have to train a few hundred store managers and warehouse IT staff on the various usages of PowerShell, just sayin'.
