Add server to Terminal Server License Servers group on Azure AD Domain Services

Question

Hosted a single server RDS installation on Azure cloud, Domain joined to Azure AD DS.

Objective is to allow 10 users to access "RD Session Host". Installed the "RD Licensing" role selected the "Per User" licensing Mode and activated the server in the "RD Licensing Manager" console.

I see a warning when I select "Review Configuration" in the "RD Licensing Manager" that states:
"This license server is not a member of the Terminal Server License Servers group in Active Directory Domain Services etc..."

Does anyone guide how to add the Azure hosted server to add to the Azure AD DS. Option for added a server from the below attachment is grayed out.

Hello @Arun Mandala ,

Thank you for your question and reaching out.

For TS Per User CAL tracking and reporting to work, the computer account for the license server must be a member of the Terminal Server License Servers group in AD DS. If the license server is installed on a domain controller, the Network Service account must also be a member of the Terminal Server License Servers group.

You may add the computer account for the license server to the Terminal Server License Servers group in AD DS either by using TS Licensing Manager or by using Active Directory Users and Computers.

Below is Microsoft reference article mentioning the same scenario similar to yours.
