In our environment our users run our accounting system app as a remoteapp. This is hosted on two vms running on a hyper-v server.
Server 1 Roles: (Hosts the user sessions running remoteapp) RD Connection Broker RD Session Host RD Gateway RD Licensing RD Web Access
Server 2 Roles: (Has App Installed) RD Session Host (Grace period expired)
Server 1 is the one that actually seems to host the connections, streaming the app from Server 2 to everyone running the remote app. We've got CALs for Server 1.
Recently, a grace period has expired on Server 2 and we can no longer rdp in. (There are no Remote Desktop License Servers available to provide a license error) We really only need the default 2 user max ability, but I fear since we installed the session host role which I am not certain we really needed (And since it's 'expired' but our remoteapp still functions) that it wasn't necessary to have this role on Server 2. How can I restore our ability to directly RDP into Server 2 when necessary? Is the session host role necessary on Server 2 for our remoteapp to continue to function?
