Hi I am a newbiee at Servers and all that relate to it and i am trying to find out if remote desktop may be what we need in our company.
What I am looking for is a solution where which ever softwares installed in the server is available to everyone in the company through a (shared/floating licences), they can use the server to store and share documents and exchange emails and all this should be achived through a single login to the a server for each user from any operating system. can this be offered with RDS?
If i understand correctly in order to access the resources on the server using a remote laptop i.e at another location you would have to use Remote Desktop Services and usually the process is as follow
Laptop at another location -----> using a software it connects you to PC at work -----> which Connects you to the Sever
is this correct?
following this understanding i have the following additional question,
1. Is it possible to access the resources on the server directly i.e from a Laptop without having to go trough a desktop stetioned in an office? and if so will the programes accessed there work just as well as they would if they were running on the
used computer?
2. If I have installed a software on the server, for example "Visual studio" using a single licence and we have 15 employees in the company who require to use it, do I have to purchase 14 more licences or is the 1 licence
shared amongst the 15 people? and does this apply to other programs aswell.
Thanks in advance
