How to use CSDM for "Microsoft Remote Desktop Service"

[Renee4]

Has anyone used CSDM for Microsoft Remote Desktop Service?

We started with the following as the easiest solution:

Business Application:  Microsoft Remote Desktop Service (MSRDS)

Application Service:  Microsoft Remote Desktop Service (MSRDS) – Prod

     (Related 4 production servers to above Application Service and included in the Description the Services listed below)

Then we were advised that MSRDS consists of additional Application Services as follows:

• Application Service:       Microsoft Remote Desktop Service (MSRDS) – Connection Broker

• Application Service:       Microsoft Remote Desktop Service (MSRDS) – License Server
• Application Service:       Microsoft Remote Desktop Service (MSRDS) – Session Host
• Application Service:       Microsoft Remote Desktop Service (MSRDS) – IIS Web Servers
• Application Service:       Microsoft Remote Desktop Service (MSRDS) – Profile Servers
• Application Service:       Microsoft Remote Desktop Service (MSRDS) – Virtual Host Servers

What is the best way to incorporate the above?  

1. Create 6 additional Application Services and relate them to their own Business Application? If we do it this way they will all be separate from each other.
2. Create a Technical Service and the 6 additional Application Services named above would be Service Offerings? Then create Dynamic CI Groups/CMDB Groups for the applicable servers?

Other applications will have those types of services right (connection brokers, license servers, etc.)? I think one thing you could do is create a technical service for each of those, then offerings for each of the different types/models/locations (whatever works best for you, then a dynamic ci group under each offering and write the query to pull in CI's. Then you just have the Business app and the on Prod app service that are related to the different ci's.

Something like this:
