I'm trying to get RDS services running on a clean install of Windows Server 2012.
I followed this example http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2833839?wa=wsignin1.0
The licensing server is activated, and CALs installed OK. Nothing is reporting errors.
But when a users tries to log in, the system does not issue a CAL.
Only the 2 administrative sessions are allowed.
The machine is a AD DC, but doesn't need to be. This server was intended to run in an isolated environment (of 1 server only) for users to log on and run our suite of applications.
What am I doing wrong, or what options do I have? I know hardly anything about Windows Servers.

You can not install RDSH or Hyper-V on Windows server 2012 Essentials.
It's also dangerous to allow non-administrative users to remotely access an domain controller.
