On the RD Session Host, you can place credentials but this is only used during commication/diagnostic tests.Īnyway, I just wanted to update the post here to help anyone else with the same questions I had.Once you have an Remote Desktop Services environment setup and want to continue using it past the 120 day trial period you will need to setup the RD Licensing role. But for the remote computer to be able to "talk" to the RD License server, some kind of authentication needed to be granted. I tried to work around these issues by enabling the Guest account,Įveryone, etc. Event ID 4625 and Event ID 4775 (authentication errors). But in the securty logs, the communication was being rejected. My RD Host trying to get the license from the RD License server. When I placed the RD License server in a worgroup or in a non-trusted domain, I was not able to receive an RD CAL. The issue, it appears, has more to due with the security of Windows 2008 R2 more then the RD Licensing technology. A two way trust is always needed in order for the RD license But so far, it looks like I need at least one RD License server per forest.Īfter doing some testing in my lab environment and reaching out to some Microsoft consultants, I have found that (in my case), we will need one or more RD License servers in each Forest. I've tried to search the internet for a document that talks about RD License server design in a multi forest environment with no trusts. Then created a trust between forests, and immediately the RD License server was able to hand out a license. but was never able to get the RD License server to hand out a license to the RD Session host.įinally, I added the workgroup RD License server back into a non trusted domain. I even went as far as enabling Guest account access I kept seing security audit errors in the security event log of the RD session host server when it tried to get a license. However, I think this was due to windows 2008 R2 built-in security.

Even when I dropped the RD License server to a workgroup, I still was not able to I was able to perform a test in my lab and was NOT able to have the RD License server hand out licenses to a RD Session Host in a remote domain (in per device mode).
