Install Server Roles, Server Role Services, and Server Features for MultiPoint Server
MultiPoint Server is designed to enable remote desktop experiences for multiple users on one desktop-class, local-host machine. It is not intended for use as a general-purpose server. It is expected that all local computer resources will be available for desktop workload local administrative tasks. By default, after you complete the MultiPoint Server installation, there are server roles, server role services, and server features that are installed. In addition, there are server roles, role services, and server features that are not installed, but are supported by MultiPoint Server and that you can install if desired.
Table 6 lists the server roles and server role services that are either installed by default or that you can install by using Server Manager in MultiPoint Server. Table 7 lists the server features that are either installed by default or that you can install by using Server Manager in MultiPoint Server.
For more information about how to use Server Manager, see Perform Advanced MultiPoint Server Tasks, or Windows Help and Support.
