Running Windows Server R2 Standard Edition on a Lenovo ThinkServer. Trying to get licensing mode set up, and we're not running in a domain setting. One server, 10 user network, so no real need to set up a DC that I can see.
Trying to set up licensing mode before the 120 day grace period expires. We're using a per device licensing mode. I thought installing the licenses took care of setting up licensing mode, but it apparently doesn't.
Anyway, when I fire up Server Manager, and navigate to the section that pertains to Remote Desktop Services, I get a "you must be logged on as a domain user to manage servers and collections." When I ran the "Configure your server" wizard when setting up the new server, it didn't show Active Directory as one of the requirements for setting up Remote Desktop Services.
What steps do I need to take to set up licensing mode? What do I specify as a licensing server? When I set up our old Server 2003 server, it filled in the licensing server information automatically.
