Install TS Licenses on DC

[Guest Julio]

I know that you can install the TS licensing role on either a member server

or a domain controller but are their any benefits of installing it on a DC?

 

Thanks,

Not really. When installed on a DC, the LS is autodetect more easy,

but you can easily overcome that by pointing the TS to the LS, either

in Terminal Services Configuration or a GPO.

Another advantage could be that you already have a backup job running

on your DC, making it easy to backup the LS database on the DC, while

you probably don't have a backup job running on your TS (which

shouldn't store any data).
