Is this OS for me?


just installed trial of essentials on server check out don't buy wrong os. need have 3 people connected server using remote desktop , work directly desktop ie; using visual studio, ms sql etc..

is possible on essentials while using workgroup , not active directory services?

i created 2 additional users , assigned them admin rights under local users in computer management area. able log in via remote desktop @ same time me (i'm using built in admin account).

do need enable active directory allow above scenario work?

with proper cals, possible, not easy. of remote desktop management tools want active directory behind them in 2012, managing workgroup extremely difficult.

instead, i'd recommend taking advantage of 2012 standard's virtualization rights (1+2) run 2 vms. 1 domain controller , 1 rds server. one physical server, 1 server license, and easier manage, of other added benefits ad brings.

another option multipoint server. specialized rds server can run in workgroup. requires multipoint cals though price , plan accordingly.
