Moving Few RDS Licenses

Question

Moving Few RDS Licenses

Cosmic Storm 21

We have a Win 2016 based AD Domain named "one.com" with a Win 2019 based RDS License Server having 200 RDS licenses.

We also have another Win 2016 based AD Domain named "two.com".

Both AD domains are physically & logically isolated from each other but are owned by a single organization.

We now wish to use 50 RDS license in the AD Domain "two.com". These 50 RDS license should be moved/migrated out from the 200 those are setup in the AD Domain "one.com".

Need to know the setup to achieve the above requirement. A link to any MS article will be helpful.

Hello @Cosmic Storm

I have been thru the link you shared.

It does not consider any steps for a scenario in which only a few RDS Licenses are to be moved to another RDS lic server in another AD Domain that is physically & logically isolated.

"Since the servers are in different networks and can’t talk to each other check the box The specified source license server is not available on the network, then from the drop-down-list select the OS that the source license server is running. Now you will need to type the license ID of the source license server. For that open the console of the source license server, right-click the server name and choose Properties."
