Hi everybody,
unfortunately I wasn't able to find a conclusive answer to my question yet and https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2833839 only got me so far.
I need to set up a fairly basic RDS environment in which eight users need to connect to a Windows Server in order to run a number of applications in a remote session. Remote desktop sessions would suffice, I do no intent on deploying virtualized desktops.
Since we have an extremely tight budget, I'm looking for the 'smallest' solution possible in terms of licensing cost and hardware. So far, I came to the conclusion that I would need to get one Windows Server 2012 Standard licence with 8 RDS CALs. Unfortunately there is no DC in the network as of now. Can such a RDS environment be deployed on one instance of Server 2012 Standard? Would it make sense to use Hyper-V in order two virtualize two servers and how could that setup look like?
Thank you in advance!
