We have one terminal server with Win Server 2012 R2, and one Linux file server. The Linux file server is also the Domain Controller.
The Windows server should be running terminal services for the business programs which need a Windows platform. We are continuously getting the following error message: "Remote Desktop Session Host server is within its grace period, but the RD Session Host server has not been configured with any license server".
When I try in the RD Licensing Diagnoser to connect to Remote Desktop Session Host Server, it shows the above error message.
The Windows server RD Licensing Manager has 20 Licenses installed, but shows as never issued.
The error message suggested resolution says "Configure a license server for the Remote Desktop Session Host server. If you have an existing license server, specify that license server for the RD Session Host server. Otherwise, install RD Licensing on a computer on your network and Configure RD Session Host server to use it". When I try to specify a Remote Desktop Session Host server by connecting to the Windows server, again the above message shows in the RD Licensing Diagnoser: "Configure a license server... to use it".
In the Server Manager program, when I attempt to Add Roles or Features, I get to Deployment Type, and it shows the RD Connection Broker to be the apparently correct server. I select 'Standard Deployment' and click Next. Error message shows: "Could not retrieve the deployment information from the RD Connection Broker server XXXX".
Please advise.
