The fact that neither the role nor the license configuration appears to be present on either machine (including the working one!) is baffling.Ĭan this be configured somehwere else? What am I missing? My understanding is that for a user to connect via RDP, you either have to be running in the "grace period" or have RDP licenses available. I also ran gpresult and there is nothing in the report at all about RDP licensing.

In gpedit, all settings related to RDP licensing are "not configured" on BOTH machines. However, the Remote Desktop system service is running on both machines. The machine where RDP works has been runnning for 3+ years so I'm pretty sure it's not working due to "grace period". The funny thing is, on both servers, neither the Remote Desktop Services nor the Remote Desktop Licensing roles or features appear to be configured or installed. "The remote session was disconnected because there are no Remote Desktop License Servers available to provide a license. On the other one, when I try to log in with my username via RDP, I get the following error: On one of them I can log in with my username via RDP.
