I have configured "RD Session Host servers and RD Licensing servers are in the same workgroup" and used USER CALs. Do you know if this works?
ReplyDeleteThe KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2473823/en-us?sd=rss&spid=14134 says that it has to be DEVICE CALs if it's in a Workgroup. So I'm just checking if it's possible to use USER CALs instead?
