I was wondering if any of the fine minds here at TR would be willing to give a noob SA a hand at a terminal services problem I’m currently facing. We’re running a test environment made up of all 2K3 servers (license, terminal, application), with a couple of TSCALs (per device) showing as available. A user (running XP pro) is getting a message stating:
Your terminal services temporary client license will expire in 14 days. Please contact your system admin for a permanent license.
My questions are:
1) I understand the concept of picking up a temp license on the first sign-on and a permanent on the second, but is the second sign-on the only time the TS attempts to provide a permanent license to the client? Or does it try on every subsequent sign-on until one is available?
2) How could I force the client to try again at getting a permanent license? I’ve read of deleting certain values within the registry to remove the old license and restart the process in a 2K environment but are these instructions / values the same for a 2K3 environment?
Thanks a bundle for any help.
