thin client for Server 2012 R2 remote desktop
-
I have a training room with 12 seats that is using Wyse P20s to connect to VMware View/Horizon currently. I discovered that I can't connect the P20 to Windows Server 2012 R2 remote desktop because the P20 has RDS 5 installed and Server 2008 R2 and up require RDS 6 clients.
Can anyone recommend a RDS 6 or higher thin client? I'm looking for something that supports a single monitor and will fit in an 8"x6"x2" enclosure.
Does anyone have an thin clients using wireless? That would be nice since they get remove and installed a lot and it would be one less wire to connect.

Can you not configure the server to support older versions of RDS?

The enclosure size confuses me. Are you going to lock the thin client into a small box? I'm not sure what anything needs for airflow for cooling.
that said, I'd be surprised if you couldn't get a raspberry pi to run a Linux distro with and RDS session.

From what I found, if you have licenses, you can activate them then hack your registry to get the older clients to work. I haven't been able to reproduce that in my lab.
The size comes to the fact that I have metal brackets on the back of the monitors that fit the Wyse P20. If I can find something that fits that, I can just swap them out and it makes for a quicker set up and tear down of the room.
I came across this thread, and it the Remix Mini might work. http://mangolassi.it/topic/7992/remix-mini-as-a-thin-client/3
I tested connecting to the 2012 R2 server from a tablet and that works.
