Terminal Services Warning - huh?
As most of us probably do, I use Remote Desktop to connect to my servers from my desk. Starting yesterday, when I do this to connect to my DC, I get the following message: Your terminal services temporary client license will expire in X days. Please contact your system administrator to get a permanent license. We're down to 3 days now, I'm the system administrator, and I have no idea why this is happening. We do have Terminal Server installed somewhere in the network, for Citrix users, but I didn't think that had anything to do with Remote Desktop, and this is only happening when I remote in to the DC, not any other servers.

RE: Terminal Services Warning - huh?
Sounds like it was installed as user mode instead of Administrator mode, or someone changed it. User license mode means you need a TS License server for it to see.

RE: Terminal Services Warning - huh?
What was installed as user mode? How do I figure out if that's the case, and how do I change it back? Admin mode allows 2 connections at a time, which is why it is so important to actually log out from the connection, instead of just clicking the red box.

Yes, but you should not be seeing that message on your DC unless TS is installed. Your DC should be your license manager for the TS/Citrix server though.

Yes, but you should not be seeing that message on your DC unless TS is installed. Your DC should be your license manager for the TS/Citrix server though.

Re: Terminal Services Warning - huh?
Citrix has its own License Management Console. That console only shows licenses for Citrix products. In the TS Micense Mgr on all of your Citrix servers it should show that it is pointing to the DC that has your TS licenses. All of your Citrix servers should point to the Citrix license server for the Citrix product licenses. Most Citrix products are licensed for CCU but a few are based on named users. TS licenses are based on User or Devices. In 2000 2003 User based licenses cannot be tracked. That changes in Server 2008.

RE: Terminal Services Warning - huh?
You want to make sure you have Terminal Server Licensing installed on the TS (Add/Remove Windows components). When you fire that up it may auto find the DC and see the licenses or you may have to point it to the DC manually. I don't think you need to activate the license server, but I don't remember. This was messy with 2000/2003 when you had like a 2000 domain and 2003 ts etc so I always just put my licenses on the server itself. TS License Manager is not TS Configuration or TS Administrator There is a known registry fix if the TS errors that it cannot find the TS licensing server and licenses. So if you have that problem check mskb From: Joe Heaton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2008 2:55 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Terminal Services Warning - huh?
