Should I disable Remote Desktop Services?

Disable Remote Desktop Services before my 120 day trial expires

Hello,

I previously enabled this to test multiple simultaneous login to my server. I don't use it now so I never purchased the required license. I want to disable the feature and return to the regular 2 session login on my server.

1. Can you please verify that the following steps will disable this feature:

Open gpedit.msc

navigate to : Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Licensing

Use the specified Remote Desktop license servers Disables

Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode Disabled

1. Will this now revert to the original setup where only 2 sessions are allowed?

Thank you in advance.remote-desktop-servicesCommentComment Show 0Comment 5 |1600 characters needed characters left characters exceeded

Hi,

If we would like to enable more than 2 simultaneously rdp sessions, we are suggested to install RDS roles and install RDS CALs if needed.

So if you would like to revert back, you shall remove the RDS roles you've installed from server manager in connection broker (common deployment).

Thanks,
Jenny
