Remote desktop pool - monitor

I have a pool of 15 desktops (citrix replacement thing) I have a group of users that will connect to any one of these identical desktops. I will present these desktops through APM.

 

How can I manage this connection so users will connect to an available desktop and not one where someone else is already logged in?

 

Can I do an RDP pool? And an RDP monitor to allow only a desktop that is not logged in to be available?

 

APM
application delivery
LTM

    For my issue, I think I've solved this by simply setting my connection limit for each pool member to 1. Restating that I am not managing access to an RDS server (RDS would be a better solution) I have several Windows 10 machines that users are accessing. For this setup, it looks like I'm good by setting the connection limit to 1 on each pool member. LTM will not direct connections to a connected RDP session.
