Hello,
I need to setup a Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 Server (or maybe a Windows 2012), from which I need an IE running a web application.
Both the server and the application should be accessed by all the employees of the company.
Unfortunately, I have two problems.
First, we do not have an AD domain (we have SAMBA OpenLDAP), and on a previous server I didn't find any solution until now to install TS CALS with the Server being in the Domain. It works only just when it is in Workgroup. And of course, I need to create local users and so on. The first question would be: It is possible to install CALS per user with the computer outside the AD Domain? On my previos server, even if I have already activated the licenses, I am still in grace period and it support multiple connections from more users, but I don't know after the grace period will expire if the per user licensing will work. Also, by per user Licensing mode, where/how do I specify users which may connect to the Server (or do I not need to specify them) ? (without AD, the computer being just in workgroup).
Secondly, I don't know exactly for the server I want to setup now, what licenses do I need? I found on some forums that there exist simple CALs and RDS CALs, but I don't understand very well the difference. I need that all the users from workgroup to be able to login to the server (around 20 users), and also the server to support around 10 simultan connections from different users. Could you please tell me which type of licenses and how many do I need? As I already said, I just use from the Terminal Server an IE that runs an online application. (The question is also for my first server, if I also need other licenses in order to support multiple users login after grace period will expire)
Thank you very much for your help! Any answer will be highly appreciated.
