Hi All - Any Assistance with the following would be appreciated.
I understand that the requirements for remotapp services to clients are as follows:
Scenario 10 users to access an application (application can run multiple instances simultaneously on one host (instance of server 2012)) via remoteapp over the internet.
1x Server 2012 License (Standard)
10x CAL's
10x RDS CAL's
What I would like to know is the following:
If I decide to install a bare metal framework such as vmware vshpere ESXI and then install Server 2012 Standard VM as well as a Windows 7 Ultimate VM and then install the app on the VM Windows 7 OS will my clients be able to remoteapp via the windows 7 VM?
Or
Is the remoteapp feature only available to the server 2012 package there fore the app must be installed on server 2012.?
If it is possible for my clients to remoteapp via the VM windows 7 will I require any additional licenses or requirements for the number of clients accessing the VM windows 7 via remoteapp?
Are there limitations regarding RAM/CPU capacity if I decide to take this route?
I understand that per instance of Server 2012 Standard only 2 cpus are allowed per server. Does this mean that if I have a 16 core cpu server I can only dedicate 2 cpus to a single instance of windows server 2012?
If so as a scenario if I want the windows server 2012 to make full use of the 16 cores what licensing requirements will have to be met?
Can I install any application for remoteapp purposes (if the application allows multiple instance to be executed simultaneously on one host ie instance of windows server 2012) on a Windows Server 2012 instance, similarly as if the app was installed on a Windows 7 Ultimate instance?
Will the licenses as stated in the above scenario allow my clients access to the remoteapp feature only?
Or
Will they be able to access a full virtualized desktop (with user policies and restrictions) if need be?
Thank you once again for the assistance
