These are bare minimum ports that must be opened for a single-server installation supporting PXE clients.

You need a minimal but functional RDS server before it will work with 2X as a terminal server.

Add Domain Users to the allowed RDS users list:

2X Client connects to a 2X Gateway over port 80 or port 443 (SSL) then negotiates a direct RDP connection to the Terminal Server.

• Best performance for multimedia

The 2X Client connects to a 2X Gateway over port 80 or port 443 (SSL) which negotiates an RDP connection to the Terminal Server. The RDP traffic is tunneled over the HTTP/HTTPS connection.

• Easier to get through firewalls
• Potentially more secure
• Not as good for multimedia

• Enable all three settings

Local Computer Policy → Computer Configurations → Administrative Templates → Windows Components → Remote Desktop Services → Remote Desktop Session Host → Remote Session Environment

Under Remote Session Environment, enable and disable the following adjusting as necessary:

2X Universal printing is automatically installed when the Agents for Terminal Server, VDI Guest and Remote PC are installed. With 2X Universal Printing specific printer drivers are not necessary on the server.

You must login to the session from the terminal with the local printer installed for the local printer to show up in the session. If you take over a disconnected session the local printers will not show
