Windows Server 2012 R2 [Solved]

Ok, here is where I am at:

  • Running Windows Server 2012 R2 on an Intel Nuc D54250WYP
  • Installed the Windows Server Essentials Role
  • Installed the wsemp package as suggested by @kevin
  • Installed the latest Intel Graphics driver
  • Installed the latest nuc bios
  • Installed Roon on the Nuc
  • Installed splashtop streaming server
  • installed splashtop personal on my ipad
  • Installed Roon on my imac set to connect to remote

And… it works.
Negates the purpose of running server 2012 (light footprint etc) as it now runs a whole stack of stuff I don’t need, but it works.

Roon will not run under remote desktop as that doesn’t support opengl.
Which means you cannot start it with remote desktop even if you want to use it as a remote ’ core’ service (hence splashtop to log in remote and start it).
