Thank you this is helpful information. I'm not really clear as if you are having the same problem Katherine is? I have not yet seen the Hyper V console but I assume at the server, if it has a sound card there could be audio when starting the virtual server with rdp enabled? Sorry if my question is off, but I'm inexperienced with Hyper V up to this point. Just trying to pre plan properly. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Timothy Spaulding Sent: Monday, November 20, 2017 1:06 PM To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Virtualization MS Hyper-V Good point, I did forget this part as the RDP capabilities are turned off by default. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Katherine Moss Sent: Monday, November 20, 2017 12:53 PM To: 'Blind sysadmins list' Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Virtualization MS Hyper-V While on this subject, I have a Windows Server 2016 image and since it does not have RDP enabled by default, I always have to (or rather someone else does for me), go into the Hyper-V VMConnect application and then enable it, though even with enhanced session mode turned on, I don't get audio by default, seemingly, and I get stuck in the application with no easy way out other than to kill it.
