• Manage licenses for your employees by bringing the ability for the RD Licensing servers to update RDS user Client Access Licenses (CALs) into AD objects without accessing AD directly.
• Performance Counters APIs provides partners an easy way to access data to build monitoring dashboards and deliver a consistent user experience.
