I am about to setup the licensing for the Remote Desktop server and point it to the licensing server. Problem is, I am not sure if this environment even has a connection broker server installed or do I need to install this on the RD host itself There will only be 1 RD host and this is replacing one that has been decommissioned.
Is there a way to find out if this environment has this server from within the DC itself?
update: sorry - totally forgot -Windows 2012 R2

  Things "are different" between Windows 2008 and Windows 2012+ in the world of RDS. Both are tagged in the question, can you give a bit more background on what you think might be there vs. what you are attempting to deploy?

  @Mike Kolah: I don't believe there are any use cases for a connection broker when there is only one remote desktop session host. Are you asking about the broker or license server?

This article gives some background:

Troubleshooting TS Licensing Installation | Microsoft Docs

There is a SRV record type for TS licensing, which you should be able to leverage to help via NSLOOKUP. My google-fu is weak today, I'm having trouble finding the SRV type. It's similar to how you would discover a KMS licensing server on a network.

Also, for an environment where RDS/TS is integrated with Active Directory, there should be an AD group called Remote Desktop Licensing Servers, with component servers listed. I'd imagine this would give you a pretty good idea of what is still out there.
