Quick Start is an option in RDS deployment during the process of adding roles and features with Windows Server 2012 Service Manager. I’ll keep this pure to the setup and some PowerShell basics. I tried to do a complete setup,but doing this I noticed that I’m constantly expanding this demo with new options so. There is a new feature in the Windows Server 2016 RDS : Full OpenGL support with RDS for VDI scenarios.Īnd Yes you can use the Quickstart but I’m not using this in this demo setup. Have a look at the text in screenshot "RDS-CALs-compatibility.PNG".Setting up a RDS Farm is not that hard but anyway I created a step by step guide to build a Windows Server 2016 Remote Desktop Services deployment.

I mentioned in my first post: Are there RDS-Cals available for Server 2012? You are using the same RDS license server for the 2012 VDA. You mentioned, that you have a working 2008r2 environment using this RDS license server. Maybe this tool will show some more helpful information on your issue. (See the attached Screenshot "RDS-Licensing-LSDiag.PNG".) See the attached Screenshot "RDS-Licensing-PowerShell.PNG" for details.Īfter it is installed, you can start "lsdiag.msc". You can also use Microsoft PowerShell to check if it is installed and install it. See the attached Screenshot "RDS-Licensing.PNG" for installing it through ServerManager-UI. If I remember right, this is different to Server 2008r2. Please be aware, that LSDiag is a Windows- Feature, which has to be installed. I honestly don't know because I can't run a diag. I went into grpedit.msc and computer>admin>wincomp>RDS>RDS Session Host>Licensingīoth the Use specified and license mode options were set to the appropriate host name with the CALs for RDS and the mode to user.Īm I missing a step here? I also checked to ensure the License server's machine account was a member of the TS license server group.

I checked to see if the license server was configured and mode. On the RD connection broker server, use server manager to verify or configure the licensing settings." Remote desktop services will stop working in 90 days if this computer does not contact at least a valid windows server 2008 license server. "No remote desktop license server is available.

I get a balloon and all users get a balloon whether in their loca taskbar or a taskbar of a published desktop. VDA is 7.14.1 (was also using 7.6.4 complete and same issue before I upgraded to 7.14.1) Everything is installed and running and presumably configured correctly.
