Hi,
I have one Windows 2012 R2 server that has two roles:
- Remote desktop licensing, it activated and it has 50 CAL being delivered
- Remote Desktop Session host.
Problem is that the server itself tells me after a logon that the RDP grace period has expired and I should configure the Remote Desktop licensing. But where? the Tool "Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration" is missing and it cannot
be found in the MMC snapins... and the instlalation of the RDP license server didn't configure the host to find itself.
So how can I configure the RDP licensing for that server so it uses the license server that runs on the same system? And I don't want to deploy a GPO for this...
Do I have to install one more role service? So far I know the others are only for setting up a bigger infrastructure, but they aren't necessarly required for "just" accessing this system via remote desktop for administation. Actually I do this through VMware console, but this is somehow inconvenient because that is a fat client software I need to install first after I was cut off from the remote desktop - with the reason "no RDP license server available".
The background behind this is the fact that on the system is already a Citrix Xendesktop demo installed, so I absolutely don't want to have there a complete RDP infrastructure too. Basically the Xendesktop installation activated the RD session host role, and later we needed for OTHER servers a license server that can distribute 2012R2 CAL beucause our productive LS is on Windows 2008R2 level.
