RDS cal question for Terminal Server
Main sever: Windows Server 2012R2 with 20 open usercals, and 3 RDS cals. (domain controller / AD / RDP)
Second Server: Windows Server 2008R2 (terminal server)
We have a client that wants to remote desktop into quickbooks from home, and will use a second server at the office as terminal server.
Users will connect to VPN, RDP into terminal server with their domain creds, and access quickbooks resources from the main server.
.
Client claims there shouldn't be any more than 5 users remoted in at a time.
Will all of the RDS licences including the 2 built-in admin ones be available to the terminal server (total of 5) or do we need to purchase
5 more and load them on main server?
Can any domain user in administrator's group pull from the 2 built in ones?
