Hi-

I am setting up Citrix 7.1 PVS machines with Citrix VDA on them. The only RDS role that Citrix VDA requires is Remote Desktop Session Host. So that is working. I have another server that is our RDS license Server. All I want to be able to do is specify the RDS license server that these servers need to get their RDS CAL's from. In the past I was told that I had to add the Connection Broker and the Session Host role then create a session (I usually just use the quick session setup). Can I specify the license server without adding the Connection Broker and Session host?
TIA

Hi,

You may specify the license server name and licensing mode via group policy setting.  Below is the path:

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

-TP

Hi,

Also, you can configure the settings by referring to the following:
