Remote Desktop Services (RDS) for Windows Server 2012 R2, formerly known as Terminal Services, allows workers to work anywhere by extending virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), session-based desktops, and application deployments across devices. Featuring automated pooled virtual desktop management and unified administration, RDS accelerates desktop and application deployments and simplifies system monitoring management.
Aventis Systems offers a number of excellent RDS client access licenses, so you can choose the quantity that best suits your business needs. The Windows server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition is for customers who want a virtual hybrid of private and cloud environments. The Windows server 2012 R2 license provides all remote license holders access to all the product features and enables your business to infinitely expand. The licensing model for Datacenter is processor plus Windows server 2012 CAL (Client Access License) per remote user.
The Windows server 2012 R2 Standard edition is the solution for customers who want a more physical environment. This Standard edition allows up to two virtual instances of Windows Server per license. The licensing model is the same as Datacenter, processor plus CAL, with each license covering a maximum of two processors on a single server.

When you use Azure Virtual Desktop to deliver remote desktops and apps to your organization, the pricing includes two parts: user access rights entitling your end-users to access Azure Virtual Desktop, and the Azure infrastructure costs associated with running and maintaining your deployment. These prices are explained in the table below.
Use Azure Virtual Desktop to securely deliver apps and desktops to users outside your organization with Remote App Streaming. Pricing consists of user access rights through per-user access pricing as well as infrastructure costs from Azure. Visit the "Enroll in per-user access pricing for Azure Virtual Desktop" Microsoft Learn documentation page to learn more about these costs.
Extend the capabilities of the Microsoft Cloud to your datacenters and securely run virtualized desktops and apps on premises with Azure Virtual Desktop for Azure Stack HCI. Use the familiar Azure portal and the exclusive Windows 11 and Windows 10 multi-session capabilities to bring together the flexibility of a cloud VDI service with the on-premises control you need to fit your unique business requirements. Visit the "Azure Virtual Desktop for Azure Stack HCI Overview" Docs page to learn more about these costs.Pricing includes three parts: user access rights entitling your end-users to access Azure Virtual Desktop, the Azure Stack HCI service fee, and the Azure Virtual Desktop service fee. These prices are explained in the table below.
Below you will find examples of how to choose the right components for compute, storage, and networking to help estimate pricing. To optimize infrastructure costs, you can take advantage of one-year or three-year Azure Reserved Virtual Machine Instances, which can save you up to 72 percent versus pay-as-you-go pricing. Reserved Virtual Machine Instances are flexible and can easily be exchanged or returned.
For most applications, multi-session provides the greatest flexibility and cost savings by sharing the desktop infrastructure, preserving the state of your OS image by operating in a pooled environment, and allowing user data and settings to be saved and accessed using FSLogix.
Single-session (Personal desktops) are typically chosen for (a) users that require administrative rights to modify the operating system and want those changes to be retained if the VM is restarted and (b) users which run applications that are not compatible with multi-session.
For determining user density and VM specifications, please consult the guidelines for remote desktop workloads. Please note that your needs will vary and after you set up your virtual machines, you should continually monitor their actual usage and adjust their size accordingly.
Quick question:I have a situation where I need to let multiple people on different PCs log into one server 2008 machine as administrator simultaneously over remote desktop. I have the CALs for it, it's just not set up correctly. When one user tries to log in, it boots the other out. What I need is to present to them a different session, just each as logged in as admin. Sorry for the slightly rambling post, I'm new here. Thanks!
A single user account can have multiple sessions in Windows 2008. On the server, run tsconfig.msc to bring up the Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration. Under "Configuration for server", double-click any of the general settings. Uncheck the box next to "Restrict each user to a single session" and click OK.
If the server is set up as a real Terminal Server (ie not just using the default Administrative Remote Desktop) then the single session per user enforcement should be possible to turn off. But the additional problem of never being able to reconnect to the same session seems like an annoying prospect - so setting forced logoff after some time would be essential and so on... it's just, wrong ^^
Yes it is possible even on windows home or home premium it can be done both manually or with a download. I use it all the time because it saves me allot of time. Its called Concurrent RDP Patcher and can be downloaded here : =125
While you can do as Craig Putnam suggests, I would not. Instead, create individual admin accounts on the machine for each user. This promotes accountability. Even with auditing disabled/not configured, some things can be tracked and you can at least have a chance at identifying the person/persons who mess up the server.
If all the users are using the same username to login, I dont even see the need to spend on the CALs. I suggest you create unique accounts for all users, and activate the CALs with per user on the terminal server.
