Hello, I currently work on a Windows VDI infrastructure based on ovirt, i'm looking for informations or experiences about Windows/Office VDI Licensing. My pool is stateless and the domain controller is a Samba 4.5. I called Microsoft for informations they told me i need a Windows Server Active Directory because it's impossible to activate the Windows with a Samba 4 AD. Can someone confirm ? If it's possible with a Samba AD, what license do i need for Windows and for Office ? I don't know which one is better, SA / VDA / RDS CAL / ... Thank you.

Hi Maxence, the answer is clear: it depends.... If you want to use Terminal-Server I guess you have to swallow the bitter pill and go the MS AD way. If you go the 1 User - 1 VM way like Win7Pro I would say you can stay on Samba. Am Donnerstag, den 29.09.2016, 11:35 +0200 schrieb Maxence Sartiaux:
