Guest username for RDS farm

We have a 2012 R2 RDS farm consisting of a gateway, two connection brokers, and 12 session host servers. We have several events where we have guests log into the machines, using guest 1-150. But this is difficult to manage and adds another layer of complexity. Is there any way that we could set it up so we could just use "guest" and everyone gets their own session?

Thanks!

You can look at disabling the Restrict Remote Desktop Services users to a single Remote Desktop Services session Group Policy setting found in Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Connections.

This will allow multiple users to log into the RD host with the same username without kicking off one another.

That setting is currently set, but the connection broker steps in and connects the user back to their disconnected session. We would like to retain that capability for staff.
