#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : "No Remote Desktop license servers available" Fix : Point the session host at the licence server and set the mode Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/srv-rds-licensing Run as : Elevated PowerShell on the session host Expect : 20 minutes Risk : low Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX A licence server exists with CALs on it. HOW TO UNDO IT Clear the specified list and set the mode back to what it was. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
