I have a number of discussions around RDS, especially around Microsoft Azure and the question of What Office 365 SKUs can I use in an Azure based RDS environment?   The Office 365 ProPlus, E3 and E4 SKUs are the only Office 365 SKUs supported in an Azure based RDS environment, the new Office 365 Business SKUs are not supported RDS deployment.  One of the recent additions to our E3 & E4 SKUs is the ability to install the native Office 365 ProPlus bits (Shared Computer Activation) from your E3 & E4 download.  My teammate Todd Sweetser talked about how to install Office 365 ProPlus in an RDS environment here. 

The details of the new Office 365 Business SKUs can be seen here.

Until next time,
