Move RDS Roles to Another Server
I'm in the process of planning for the moving of our RDS Licensing Server to a new server. I'm currently on Windows Server 2012 and moving to 2012R2. The information I've found on how to do this is...
Yes, I have the certificate covered and our people access a RemoteApp collection that's published.
This is a temporary workaround to move it off-premise and into the cloud along with the other host session server.
We're planning an upgrade eventually to newest version of Windows Server, new CALs, etc. but for now I'm wondering about the other roles on this server...is there any info you could provide regarding these?

You could follow https://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0001406 this article?
- Yes, I found this article as well, but it focused on two of the roles, not the Connection Broker one, so I was hoping to gather as much info as I could for all three roles needed to be moved to a new licensing server.
I found some Microsoft articles that although for older versions of RDS, seems to be the only info that I'm seeing being somewhat relevant. I may just have to keep searching if I don't find what I'm looking for or follow one of these older articles.- Indeed, just 2012R2 and 2016 articles about that. I think you can transfer those two roles and have to install a new connection broker without migrating it and recreate the collection.
- I was hoping that since the existing host session server is fine as is and it's already located in our cloud infrastructure and configured with the apps that we publish using RemoteApp collection that I could just move the old licensing server along with its various roles over to a new server in the cloud
I didn't think I would be required to have to recreate/rebuild the collection...I guess I might of missed the info regarding one of these roles handling that aspect of it?
I did find plenty of new articles about moving 2012R2 to 2016, 2019, or newer so I guess I need to read up on this more to future proof what I'm trying to accomplish
