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...
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

- Did migrating work?
- Haven't started that project yet, but I did manage to get a one-on-one session with someone who's worked on this similar scenario before and gave me the info that I needed. I'm going to work up a plan for this and present it and start the beginning stages of it, such as building the new server that will hold the licensing as well as the roles we discussed but full deployment won't happen until the second week of Oct. at the earliest.
- Keep us updated 😊
- If you're migrating to a new server later on, then an in-place upgrade of the existing installation in a planned maintenance window could also be an option perhaps? (Keep backups and snapshots ready 😉 )
