Server 2016 - The remote session was disconnected because ther are no Remote Desktop License Serves available to provide a license.

Question

Ok, so we do not have a RDLS, and as I understand it, we don't need one since we only use Remote Desktop for Admin purposes.

I have gone thru the registry to remove the "Grace Period" but it does not exist.
Firewall is off.

Any other suggestions or comments?

Answer 2

Sounds like the RDS role may have been added which is not needed for the default remote administrative connections.

Answer 3

DSPatrick,

Thanks for the quick response.
The RDS role is not installed on this server.

To further the mystery...

We have multiple computers with Hyper-V manager installed. (Version: 10.0.19041.1)
Only one of the computers can connect to the remote server.
We have other 2016 Servers running on the same VM with no issue.
The other servers running Hyper-V manger give the following error:

"An authentication error has occurred.
The Function requested is not supported.
This could be due to CredSSP encryption oracle remediation."

Answer 4

Ok, sounds like a problematic RSAT / WinRM configuration.

are the source and target on the same networks? Are the source and target members of the same domain?

Same domain, same network
