Remote Desktop : Install RDS (Session based)2020/12/15

	Install Remote Desktop Service (RDS). It can connect to Desktop or Applications on a Server from remote Computers. If many users or devices connect to RDS, it needs to buy RDS CAL.
[1]	It needs that the Computer you'd like to install RDS is a member Host of an AD domain. So Prepare Active Directory Domain Server in your network. (It is not recommended to install RDS in Domain Controller because of security risk or performance reasons.)
[2]	Join RDS Server to Active Directory Domain, refer to here.
[3]	Logon with an user who are in [Domain Admins] group and Run PowerShell with Admin Privilege.
