So here is the quick and dirty guide (no VDI, yet): Here are the servers you need: RD gateway + RD web access (in DMZ) This provides web access to RDS on the public internet. RD Connection broker (in internal network) This routes everything. I am going to install the RD license server role on this one as well.
