Remote desktop services, rdp connection broker, windows server 2008 r2, windows server 2012 r2

we are getting below error every 120 days

EVENT #      266123
EVENT LOG      System
EVENT TYPE      Error
OPCODE      Info
SOURCE      Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager
EVENT ID      1069
DATE / TIME      xxxxx
COMPUTERNAME       xxxx
MESSAGE      The RD Licensing grace period has expired and Licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host server has not been configured. Licensing mode must be configured for continuous operation

We have our domain controller as  our RDS License server and this  error is being generated from other member servers in our domain

1)  i am not seeing on any other member server having  any RDS  configured  so how they are contacting DC to get the  RDP license. there is no rd connection broker service installed.

when we delete the grace period key every 120 days, I think it is called timebomb key  then it gets its license and evrything works fine??

2) the solution i believe is  Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Licensing
"Use the specified RD license servers" = myservername

"Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode" = Per User

OR

In Server Manager -- Remote Desktop Services -- Overview -- Deployment Overview -- Tasks -- Edit Deployment Properties. ( but i dont see this on windows server 2008 r2 server which is my DC,

Is there any advanatage if i create another RDP server to deploy rdp licenses. i see on my DC that rdp license mode is volume

any thoughts would be appreciated
