Hello Team,
I have 30 session host servers and I am using non persistent servers where my users will simply login and use it for a day and log off. Whenever they log off the server will get back to its initial state and all the changes made to the servers will be lost.
I have purchased the Per user licenses and configured them. I have installed licensing role on the sever and applied the below group policies to my session host servers.
- Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Licensing\Specify RD License Servers - I have specified my licensing server.
- Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Licensing\Specify the Remote Desktop licensing mode - I have specified per user licensing mode.
But the licenses are not getting issued. These servers are still depending on 120 days grace period. In the event viewer it says " The Remote Desktop Session Host server does not have a Remote Desktop license server specified. To specify a license server for the Remote Desktop Session Host server, use the Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration tool".
I am wondering that I have already specified the group policies and still it displays the above error.
I tried deleting the grace period registry key as I read in on the forums, since these are non-persistent VM's at the end of the day the registry key will regenerates and starts issuing the free licenses. I am afraid now, what happens after 120 days?
There are no error messages on licensing diagnose? Please advise is this a kind of bug or something else?
Any kind of help is much appreciated
Thanks,
SM
