Replace 2003 Terminal Server with 2012 RDS and keep same name, Can I rename after installing 2012 RDS?

-

i want replace production 2003 file server has 15 terminal thin clients, 2012 rds server.
, need keep same name hundreds of devices , shortcuts still function afterwards.
server has 139 printers , active 24-7, don't want mess up.

original plan create new 2012 server temporary name, , rename after getting rds work , moving files.
after seeing how more complex the new rds setup old terminal server, i'm thinking not going smooth transition...?
can recommend better way this, or on correct path?

hi,

as far know, cannot rename rd session host directly, instead need remove server rds deployment, rename server add rds deployment.

in addition, cannot rename rd connection broker without removing whole rds deployment.

here related thread below you:

renaming computers in win2012r2 session host farm

in opinion, might more appropriate set new rds deployment new farm name , deliver shortcuts or printers via group policy.

best regards,

amy
