when install new rd licensing role service, need specify discovery scope, determines how terminal services license server automatically discoverable terminal servers.

 

the 3 discovery scopes are:

  • workgroup
  • domain
  • forest

the recommended discovery scope license server forest.

 

if configure forest discovery scope, terminal servers, without additional configuration, can automatically discover license server in same forest, because license server published in active directory domain services. configure forest discovery scope, must logged on enterprise administrator forest in license server member.

 

in addition, go remote desktop session host configuration , check licensing mode if equal rds cals have installed , activated.

a terminal server must able contact (discover) terminal services license server in order request terminal services client access licenses (ts cals) users or computing devices connecting terminal server.

if specify license server discovery mode choices dimmed , cannot make selection, use specified terminal services license servers group policy setting has been enabled , has been applied terminal server.

 

2.       by applying use specified terminal services license servers group policy setting.

this group policy setting located in computer configuration\administrative templates\windows components\remote desktop services\remote desktop session host \licensing , can configured using either local group policy editor or group policy management console (gpmc). note group policy setting take precedence on setting configured in terminal services configuration.

 

3.       to specify license server discovery mode on terminal server using terminal services configuration
