Windows Remote Desktop Services 2012 includes several components

The current and important Microsoft Remote Desktop Services 2012 are made up of five different components. For a detailed overview of the possible applications, we present the individual components in more detail below.

An important component is the so-called Remote Desktop Connection Broker (RDCB). This enables client computers with a so-called client access license to access the server-based desktops and the corresponding functions. For this purpose, the service establishes a connection between the clients, the virtual machines and the terminal server desktops. The tasks of the Remote Desktop Connection Broker are comprehensive and include, for example, checking user data. You can also easily manage desktop images and assign a user to a remote desktop.

A Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) is also included with Remote Desktop Services and also enables a wide range of features. With the help of a CAL, you can authorize users via this service to access session hosts or virtualization hosts in the internal company network over the Internet, while observing all the necessary security measures. This is possible via any Internet-enabled end device and applies to all session-based or virtual desktops. To ensure that communication between the end device and the gateway is secure, it is carried out using the Remote Desktop Protocol and tunneling via HTTPS.

The Remote Desktop Session Host is a special role in the services. The task of the service is quite simply to provide the various applications or desktops, which can then be accessed by multiple users. However, these users must have a CAL to do this. In addition, Remote Desktop Web Access, as a special service, regulates access to a remote or virtual desktop. A start menu or also a web browser are used for this. In Windows Server 2008 R2 and subsequent versions, this handy service also allows you to define, restrict and manage access to individual users.

Finally, the Remote Desktop Virtualization Host belongs to the Remote Desktop Services. This provides optimal support for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) scenarios. Two different virtual desktops are possible with this service. Choose between personal virtual desktops for specific users or desktop pools that can be compared to workstations. With the second variant, use by multiple users is not a problem.

For extensive use of the services you need User CALs or Device CALs

Not only do you need a license for the server itself, but also for Microsoft Remote Desktop Services 2012. Choose between Microsoft Remote Desktop Services 2012 User 1 CAL and Microsoft Remote Desktop Services 2012 Device 1 CAL. Out of the box, the Microsoft server versions include two individual access licenses, which are suitable for administrators. However, use is only permitted for administrative tasks. If you want to additionally equip a user or a device with the corresponding access licenses, you have to purchase the CAL (Client Access License) additionally. This is also available from Best Software, also for the revised version in the form of the Microsoft Remote Desktop Services 2012 R2 User 1 CAL or the Microsoft Remote Desktop Services 2012 R2 Device 1 CAL. So you always need the CAL for extensive and comprehensive use of the services, this also applies when using third-party software for administration.

The differences are of great importance and should be known before selecting the appropriate access license. A Device CAL always refers to a specified device. With this, you authorize a desktop PC, notebook or other device to use the services. You are much more mobile and flexible with a User CAL for Microsoft Remote Desktop Services. This gives a specified user direct access, regardless of the device. You can work on the move from your smartphone, tablet or notebook and use the numerous components with the appropriate license. Both types of licenses can be extended and purchased at a later date without any problems. Note, however, that it is no longer possible to use the existing licenses after upgrading to a newer version. The purchased licenses refer exclusively to Microsoft Remote Desktop Services 2012 and the revised version R2. Downgrading is possible, however, so you can use and license older server versions with the 2012 CALs if needed.
