Hello, I set up an AVD with Server 2019 Datacenter image. When I log in I get a warning about rds expiring in 119 days. The Server doen not need a gateway. I will only be logging in through the new remote desktop client (rdweb). So I think I do not need rds. Can i unistall the rds role? Any other ideas? Thank you.
not sure on the setup of Server 2019 on AVD, but looking at the licensing notification, it looks like that you have to add a licensing server for session host.
If you are using Windows Server as the guest OS then you will need RDS CALs even if you are using Azure Virtual Desktop, the licensing model for Windows Server still requires RDS CALs. See here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/pricing/details/virtual-desktop/
If you use Windows 10/11 instead then the licensing would be based on user's Microsoft 365 license plan.
