Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services Connection Brokering
We are looking to grow from one 2008 remote desktop services server to two 2012 servers.
We would like to setup a connection broker but do not have an additional 2012 machine available for a few months.
1) Can we setup a connection broker on one of the 2012 servers itself? If so, will we be able to move the connection broker to a new server in the future?
2) Would it be better to setup one terminal server for now until we can purchase a true connection broker then clone?

This is very much possible in Windows server 2012 R2. you can add any new server any time.

That was just a typo on my part. We are, in fact, using Server 2012 R2.
I setup the RDCB with two terminal servers and it works. Are we able to bypass the web access?
Our users are accustomed to connecting directly from the RDP client. If I try to connect to the connection broker with a domain user, it tries to connect directly to the connection broker and says "This user is not authorized for logon". However, if I access the server's RDWEB page, it connect to either one of the terminal servers.
