I'm wondering how Windows Server 2008 generates known license server lists (where it's stored and when/how updated) for RDS, and as RD Session Host Configuration Console doesn't allow multiple select when adding license server I'm also looking for a way to specify license servers via script (PS is preferable).

I guess this list is stored in Registry and I can read values and use them in my script to specify license servers but I guess there could be better options for this.

Enterprise Remote Desktop License Servers store their licensing information in Active Directory. You can view it using the AD Sites & Services snap-in.

  • So it looks like when license server role is installed it publish ingo in AD, does other servers which reads this info filter it somehow? E.g. in mixed environments where both WS2003/2008 license servers are exist and not all license servers capable to provide appropriate licenses. – Mikhail Jan 17 '14 at 16:23

Following can be used for adding all Known license severs to Specified license servers with PowerShell:

import-module remotedesktopservices
cd RDS:\RDSConfiguration\LicensingSettings\SpecifiedLicenseServers
dir ..\RegisteredLicenseServers | new-item -force
