Windows Server 2012 R2 with NVIDIA GRID GPU Driver

Nice solution but quite intricate
I have spent a copule of hours just to realize how to make the 3d hardware acceleration work on a remote connection.
The description tells to use TeamViewer but it does not specify that it is not the only step to take.
1. Install the latest version of TeamViewer as a service;
2. Configure it properly for unattended connection and get the connection info;
3. In the options, allow login for administrators;
4. In the Device Manager, find the Microsoft Graphic Adapter and disable + uninstall it (you should also see at least another NVIDIA GPU: ensure that it is working correctly first);
5. Move/delete the system file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\BasicDisplay.sys (you need to take ownership and full control of the file first);
6. Reboot the instance.
Now you cannot connect anymore using Remote Desktop Connection but you can use Teamviewer AND you will be able to use the 3d hardware acceleration as well!
I was able to create a render using Blender in a few minutes compared to the hours on my laptop.
