Unable to RDP into windows server on GCE : No remote desktop license servers available


I have windows server machine on GCE.Whenever I try to take remote or RDP into machine it is showing

The remote session was disconnected because there are no Remote Desktop License Servers available to provide a license. Please contact the server administrator

I have reset the machine but didn't work. The solutions that I got on the net needs access to the machine first, but I am not able to access the machine. Here is a link http://www.dell.com/support/Article/us/en/04/635765/EN to troubleshoot this, but I am not able to access machine as the machine is on google server.


Solution

  • In my case license has been expired. But I was able to take remote in admin mode. Use the command in Run to take remote in admin mode

    mstsc /admin 
    

    Then I added new license to continue remote service. For more detail on remote desktop licensing check out the link https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732684.aspx
