Upon running the last command I receive an error indicating the method is not specified, meaning the parameter doesn’t exist. ![]() $obj = gwmi -namespace “Root/CIMV2/TerminalServices” Win32_TerminalServiceSetting$obj.ChangeMode(4) I ran the following commands to manually configure Session Host via PowerShell: This led me to check the deployment properties and I found it was configured for Per User mode with the correct server.Īt this point it is pretty clear this is not going to work properly, but I wanted to dig a little deeper and find out why. ![]() However RD Licensing Diagnoser is reporting it is not configured with a license server. After a restart, RD Licensing manager is reporting all green checks. Finally, I added the license server and the network service account to the Terminal Server License Servers group in AD. Maybe this is due to RDS licensing not being installed or configured? I then installed and activated a license server on the same machine. I then tested the number of simultaneous connections again. This seemed odd to me, but upon checking Server Manager all seemed to be normal. ![]() After a reboot the session collection did show up. The roles installed properly, but I received an error when creating the session collection. After booting the VM back up, I installed RDS via the installation wizard. I then shutdown the server and took a checkpoint. I verified that only 2 simultaneous interactive logon sessions would work. ![]() I ran the initial configuration wizard to complete setup. I started by installing Windows Server 2016 Essentials into a generation 2 VM (Virtual Machine). Below is the documentation of that process. While I have seen this issue on several occasions in customer environments, I figured I would reproduce this. While not well documented, this configuration is not supported by Microsoft*. While this seems like the perfect money saving combination, Essentials is about $200-300 cheaper than the Standard SKU, it is not. Recently I have seen a rise in the deployment of RDS, specifically Session Host, on Windows Server 2016 Essentials. Today I wanted to talk about 2 of my favorite Microsoft technologies in one article RDS (Remote Desktop Services) and the Essentials experience.
