Require Client Certificates for RDS 2012
Is it possible to require RDP clients connecting to RDS 2012 to have a client certificate? I know the server has one. But, I would like to add a bit more security than just username/password. I also know that VPN is possible, but was looking for something a bit less cumbersome.

David,
I saw that but besides dealing with an older version of RDS, it is talking about getting the TLS/SSL connection by issuing a certificate to the RDS server and making sure the clients trust the issuing authority. A third party certificate is on the RDS server. What I want to know is is it possible to issue certificates to client PCs/devices and require that to connect to RDS? So, not only do you have to have the proper credentials, but you have to have a device with the proper certificate. Similar to what you can setup for an IIS website.
Thanks for the reply.
