How to tell which server the licensing manager is running from...

[JT]

I'm a bit new to Terminal services. I'm coming into an environment thats in a
bit of disarray. How can I tell which server the Terminal Services Licensing
is running from? I have a client PC that can't RDP to a certain server but
can to others in the same domain. It gives the message " The remote computer
disconnected the session because of an error in the licensing protocol." when
I attempt to connect. Any help would be great!

Are you running W2K or 2003 on your Terminal Servers?
You can find the TS Licensing Server by running the lsview and
lsreport utilities from the Resource Kit.
Or start TS Licensing Manager and check to which LS it connects.

For your specific error, check the EventLog on the Terminal Server
which you cannot connect to.
This error can appear if you had a temporary license and the 90 days
has expired. It can appear if you do not have a TS License server in
your domain or the TS License server is older than the TS Server
(Windows 2003 TS and Windows 2000 License Server). Check the EventLog
on your TS to see the reason for the problem.
