Remote Desktop licensing mode Server 2008
Hi there
I am running server 2008 with the remote desktop services role enabled. I have configured the licensing and h\ve activated the Client access licenses. The server is installed on a workgroup environment.
I am recieving an error that states that the remote desktop licensing mode is unconfigured. I have created the policies for the rdc sessions and I have tried to switch from per user to per device mode.
In the server manager the overview is not available as it states that I am currently logged on as a local administrator and to view the server I need to logon as a domain administrator but I am not running a domain. I am running the server in a workgroup.
Can someone please help me to determine where I am going wrong?
Thanks in advance

Try deleting HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControl
Trying to remember from memory, but i do recall there was a role that required a domain or was that for 2012. That might be causing issues, dont recall though. Anyway,
The two roles you should have installed is Remote Desktop Session Host and Remote Desktop Licensing.

Hi Miguel, I get a access denied error when deleting the registry key or the subset entries. It says error deleting values, unable to delete specified values.
Also BeCraig, this problem partains to Server 2012 and not server 2008 as specified in the help arfticles you refer to.
I do not have this problem on any of my 2008 servers, only the 2012 servers.
I have added the remote desktop sessions host and the licesning server. It still shows up with a message when the users log onto the remote sessions after a server reboot saying remote desktop services mode is not enabled.
Furthermore I cannot see the server in the overview console in the server manager. Perhaps this is somehow related.
I wish to be able to shadow the user session in server 2012 as I believe this is possible, but I am not sure if i can do this if the server is running in a workgroup environment.
Thanks for the help so far, any other help appreciated.
