Easiest RDS Setup

One of my customers is setting up a new company with users in the uk and the us and they will both want to have access to Sage at the same time and a few shared documents.

I am looking at using a Terminal Services setup for this but have a few queries!

- I was hoping to install Windows Server 2012 and enable RDP services on it (not really recommend to have RDS on a DC but this used to be possible and would keep costs down) but it seems this is pretty much impossible with server 2012. Is this the case?

-The customer already has a file server and doesn't really need a DC so is it possible to have a basic install of Windows Server 2012 with its only role being RDS. Is this possible?

-If the above would work how would I setup user access and security. Would it be a case of local user accounts and passwords like with a standard desktop OS?

Cheers!
 
Thanks for the reply.

Would it not be easier to install Server 2012 as a DC on the hardware then just have one virtual machine which would do the RDS stuff?
 
They already have the Sage licenses and all the server licenses so apart from the hardware the costs wouldn't be too bad :)
