Remote Desktop licensing mode is not configured on a GE Control Server VM

Remote Desktop licensing mode is not configured on a GE Control Server VM

Symptom:

When trying to remote desktop into a virtual machine hosted on a Simplex or HA Control Server, you receive the following error:

"Remote Desktop licensing mode is not configured"
"Remote Desktop Services will stop working in X days. On the RD Connection Broker server, use Server Manager to specify the Remote Desktop licensing mode and the license server."



Environment:

Primary Product Module : GE Control Server - Simplex / HA

Primary Product Version : v2018_08_06_B

Primary Product OS : Windows Server 2012 R2



Cause:

The VM in question is not pointed to the license server correctly, if at all.



Resolution:

Obtain the GE Control Server media that this system was built with.

Copy the script .\Configure-TSHost.ps1 to the C:\Site folder on the VM in question.

Open an Administrator Powershell window and set the common directory: cd c:\Site

Run the script with the parameter of the RD License Server name

Example:  .\Configure-TSHost.ps1 EWS1SVR

Enter the according domain credentials. The VM will reboot.

Upon reboot, the error about RDS configured should be cleared.
