Question
You have an on-premises network.
All users have computers that run Windows 10 Pro.
You plan to deploy Azure Virtual Desktop to meet the department requirements shown in the following table.
| Department | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Research | Run an application that can run only on Windows Server. The application will be published as a RemoteApp. |
| Finance | Run Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session. |
You need to recommend licenses for the departments. The solution must minimize costs.
Which license should you recommend for each department?
Explanation
Research: the application runs only on Windows Server, so the session hosts must run Windows Server, and Azure Virtual Desktop access to Windows Server session hosts is licensed with a Remote Desktop Services CAL with Software Assurance. A plain Windows Server CAL does not grant remote desktop access, and Windows or Microsoft 365 licenses only cover Windows client session hosts.
Finance: Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session is covered by Microsoft 365 E3 or Windows Enterprise E3, among others. Windows 10 Enterprise E3 is the cheaper of the two because it does not include the Office and other Microsoft 365 services, so it meets the cost requirement.
