Ok I have Windows server essentials 2012 r2 installed as the DC and ran through the Anywhere access setup using an MS account to save on the certificate. So far so good.
I have added to the domain a second server 2012 R2 std to be used by 5 remote workers. This is to be the RDS server.
I have been doing a lot of head scratching on where to install the rds deployment and which server requires which roles.
I think the gateway needs to stay on the DC but I read that once essentials is a DC you cannot add rds services. If I run the rds setup on the second server (which I presume is right) which roles do I install and how does the gateway on the DC know to connect incoming connections to it?
I also read the license server for my 5 rds cals should be on the Essential server but how?
I can't find a setup guide for this which I would have thought is a fairly common usage?
hope someone can help!
