More simultaneous RDS into a Windows VM on GCP without AD

I have spun up a Windows VM compute engine to host a software application(exe) from a 3rd party vendor.
Multiple users (>15) will need to use this application simultaneously so they will need to RDS into the VM through their user accounts.
We have set up Cloud IAP. Currently 2 users can access the VM simulatenously as is expected because the VM provides 2 RDS licenses.
We are trying to get more licenses but apparently an Azure AD is required for those licenses to work. Is there away to have more licenses without the Azure AD or without hosting a new AD on google?
I just want to be able to have >15 people simultaneously accessing the application on the server.
It is possible to configure Windows RDS without a domain, keep in mind that you need to purchase Device CAL's - User CALs can only be used in an AD environment; and you are limiting your options for high availability.Check the following links for guidance:

Hyperion Foundation Services Servers are down

I have installed Hyperion EPM 11.1.2.4 in CentOS 7 i.e Foundation Services, Essbase and Financial Reporting. The database I have used is SQL Server.
CentOS is not the officially supported OS for Oracle HTTP server and hence I went ahead with Weblogic HTTP server.
Once I start the weblogic server and start all the EPM services, and when I login into the weblogic server administration console, I find my foundation services server in Admin state
Also when I login into my Oracle Fusion middleware, I can see all my foundation services and financial reporting Servers down.
And hence I am unable to access the servers like workspace, calculation manager.
But few of my servers are up and are in running state such as APS, CALC, EAS, EPMAWEBTIER. But I only can access Essbase.
I request you to check the images attached.
Oracle Weblogic Administration Console
Oracle Fusion Middleware
How can I access these servers?
Am I having these much of troubles just because I used weblogic HTTP server instead of Oracle HTTP server?
if you are installing EPM for learning purposes, I suggest you to take the easy way and use a supported OS. Installing this software into a non supported OS will give you additional problems that you will never be sure if are caused because the non-supported OS, or because your installation / tuning is wrong.
If you download and install a Windows Server VM, it would not expire, just show you the active license message, but it will be full working.
For learning purposes / temporal Virtual machines, it is way to go.
Thanks.

IIS: Using Kerberos with client computers that are not on the domain

Can a computer that is NOT a part of the domain (but is on the network) authenticate against to a web site published by IIS8 where the authentication for that site is "Windows Authentication" only with a single provider of "Negotiate:Kerberos" (and with Kernel-mode authentication disabled)?
I ask because I am trying to do just this, but I cannot get past the authentication to the site (yet alone trying to pass the authentication to the database). I see the "WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate" header on the response to the client, but the client only ever seems to send a "NTLM Type1: Negotiation" (NTLMSSP) in the subsequent (re)requests. Either that or I am interpreting the results from Fiddler2 incorrectly!
I am using Kerberos as most of the clients will be domain computers and I need to pass user credentials from the web application back to the database. I was hoping that I would be able to do the same with non-domain computers and they would simply be prompted for a username/domain/password that would be validated and converted to a Kerberos ticket on the server.
Note that for testing purposes, Windows 8 is both the server and the client. In production, the server will be Windows 2008 Server R2 and the client will be primarily Windows 7 (though there will be some Windows 8 clients).
Kerberos will not work on accounts/computers which are not part of the domain.
You have two options to achive your goal:
Request the user data with Basic auth and pass that to LogonUserEx. See this for answers.
Authenticate the user by other means and use S4U2self (protocol transition).

What's the most secure way to connect to Active Directory from a DMZ?

I got a web DMZ server, that hosts an "Extranet" ASP.NET application. I want that users should authenticate to this application using the same user and password that they use on their Windows at work. (we are using Active Directory)
I want to know what the best way is -the most secure way - to connect from the DMZ web server to the Active Directory.
For now I saw two possibilities:
- RODC
- LDAP Over SSL (LDAPS)
Are there any other option you recommend? What other options should I consider? Any limitation, or potential problems with any of those solution?
It exist a Microsoft document talking about that :
Active Directory Domain Services in the Perimeter Network (Windows Server 2008)
You can also take inspiration from Microsoft consideration on installing an Exchange Front-end computer into a DMZ

Not able to connect to TFS Server from TFS Proxy

In our office we have setup TFS for project development. The TFS Server is WIN 2003 server SP2 with VSTFS 2008 and is running fine. Now we need to setup a TFS Proxy server on client site for client to access. Before going for the client setup, I wanted to build and test proxy in our office on a dummy server (will call it Proxy server hereon) by keeping it on a different domain. OS configuration of the Proxy server is the same as TFS server. I have installed and configured TFS proxy on Proxy server to connect to TFS Server. Also we have built trust between the two different domains to enable communication. Now problem is that I am not able to at all connect to TFS server. I am trying to connect from Internet Explorer of proxy server using proxy service account. It gives me error: The page cannot be displayed. HTTP 500 - Internal server error. The page I was browsing was http://tfs:8080/VersionControl/v1.0/ProxyStatistics.asmx.
I think I have done all the required steps correctly to configure proxy as described in MSDN and also TFS installation guide. Here Proxy service account is a member of ‘Team Foundation Valid Users’ group. I am able to connect to TFS Server (specifying port) using Telnet from command prompt on proxy server as suggested by few sites. The TFS server web sites have been configured to use Integration Windows Authentication. Event Logs on both the servers are also not giving any error. Overall I’m not able to get it done.
Any ideas on what might be the problem???
I think the port number for accessing the proxy server is 8081.
I also do not know why you need to install the proxy server on the the client side. You only need the VS200x on the client side I assume but check on
