Note: *Microsoft Remote Desktop Services licensing and configuration is required
regardless of which remote environment user interface (Microsoft or Citrix) will
be used. If Microsoft RDS will be providing the remote environment user
interface, Citrix XenApp licensing is not necessary.
Note: **If a multi-server farm will be used to provide support for remote desktop,
it is recommended that the administrative services of Microsoft Remote Desktop
Services or Citrix XenApp be located on a separate server from those servicing
remote user sessions.
