Windows 10 Operating system options
We have a client with 150'ish machine that need to be built to windows 10. These machines will also need to be licensed so my question is:
The client machines only connect to a Terminal Server farm and so have no requirement for local applications over and above RDP capability. Is there an operating system that is cheaper with limited functionality that could be used like a thin client OS?
Thanks

I do not think so. Enterprise, Pro and others you cannot use.
Thanks John...forgot about Enterprise...I hardly ever see that one.
As John said...you can't use Home as those machines won't be able to be joined to an AD environment.

i was thinking Linux would be a good way forward if they are not tied to a Windows operating system
I would say Linux also if all they need is a dumb RDP terminal...
