At this point, a new window will open asking you to enter the following details:

Server name: (5) By default, the server is given a random name, but we recommend renaming it according to your organisation’s naming policy to help you easily identify your servers in the future.
Concurrent Users: (6) This is the number of users that can use the Remote Desktop service simultaneously. Bear in mind that the cost of the service will depend on the number of users.
Region: (7) The region in which you want to deploy the server, e.g., Spain, France, etc.
Operating System: (8)
Computing: (9)
Disk: (10)
Standard network: (11)

You’ll also see a drop-down section below called “Advanced Options” (12).

Once you have configured all these details, click on “Deploy Server” (13).

Enter the settings for your new Remote Desktop server

While your new server is being deployed, you will see several notifications to keep you informed of progress, but in the meantime, we recommend taking this moment to grab yourself a coffee.

While you’re waiting, if you click on “Servers” in the left-hand menu (14), the Servers screen will load again. You will see that a card for your new server has appeared and that its status is set to “Deploying”.

While the new server is being deployed, its status will show as "Deploying" — While the new server is being deployed, its status will show as “Deploying”

Finally, once the server has been deployed successfully, you will receive a notification (15) and the new server will have a green light and be shown as operational (16).

You have now successfully deployed your new server on your Remote Desktop subscription.
