Joining MultiPoint Server to SBS 2011

One of the hidden gems of the Microsoft Server family is MultiPoint.

Think of it as a Term Server with wizards and a console dashboard (similar to SBS or WHS) that makes implementation and management of the server a breeze. But it’s so much more. It’s perfect for classroom scenarios, or for a training room, or as a solution in a business environment.

So, the question is: how does one join a MultiPoint server to an SBS 2011 domain?

Fortunately, Marina Roos (SBS MVP ) has written an excellent set of instructions (click here) with screenshots on exactly what to do .

Her article addresses three primary steps:

  • Add a registry key on SBS 2011
  • Create the RDP file for users
  • Create a GPO that will push the RDP file to the user’s desktop
