Hello Sher,
For licensing i suggest to use MS support, there are too many options for
licensing available. Make sure you know how the users should access the server
and then use MS support.
To have more then 2 concurrent connections you have to configure a server
as Terminal server, with TS Client access licenses and install it in application
mode, otherwise you can use remote administration mode(2 users remote) without
any additional licenses.
If the server is domain controller, NO domain user should be able to logon.
Basically domain users should only access Terminal servers if used. They
can use services like file/print/web etc. but this doesn't require them to
logon to the server itself.
To connect from home you need a firewall between the server and the internet
which is configured according to your needs.
But for this all in a package i suggest to use a company in your location
that can give you a complete package overview especially for your needs.
Also MS support can help you with this.
Best regards
Meinolf Weber
