    Hi, Marius.

    Since you mention "RD session host" in the singular, not plural, context, then I'd suggest there's no value in deploying a session broker. The real answer is probably "it depends" but I'm trying to give you something a little more tangible.

    If you were deploying two or more session hosts then it might be worth deploying a broker. The same would be true if you wanted your pilot to reflect a production-quality pilot for comprehensive testing purposes.

    But if your main focal points are things like the user experience, application compatibility (including the nefarious context of printer drivers!) with perhaps a longer-term view of running a pilot or demonstration, then just skip the broker.

    Cheers,
    Lain
