I am trying to use an Amazon EC2 vm running server 2012 to run remoteapps.  However it seems S2k12 requires the server running RD and remote apps to be joined to a domain.  However with a single machine setup using it also as a DC it wont let you use the same DC machine as the RD host machine.  With S2k8R2  remoteapps/terminal services did not have to be on a domain joined machine, but i can't seem to workout a configuration with a single machine using server 2012.

Can RemoteApps be run on single server 2012 without a DC

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.
