Terminal Services - I Can't figure this one out!! Please help!

[H8ComputersSomeDays]

I manage the network in a small office. We have 18 desktops/laptops. Several
of the people in our office travel frequently. Although I know it is not the
best wasy to communicate with our office, we use Terminal Services to get
into the system and do whatever needs to be done.

I have 2 servers, both running Win2k Server. All but one client is Win2k Pro
(the other is XP Pro). One server is my PDC but has TS available in admin
mode. The other server is almost exclusively for Terminal Services client to
connect to. On 17 of the computers I can connect to either server. With the
other (Win2k Pro machine) I can connect to the PDC machine, but cannot
connect to the other server at all. An error saying the connect has been
terminated.

Like I said all other machines connect just fine, but this one client
doesn't connect to the one server. On the problem machine I can ping every
other computer in the office (clients and servers) and this machine connects
to and uses resources on both servers without a problem. I have tried
everything I can think of to no avail.

I have even downloaded and tried RDP and that fails as well. Anyone have any
ideas?

Check your TS licensing on your domain. I've seen it where even thought the
client is 2k or XP, its still trying to burn a TS CAL. In that case you'd go
to the client's registry at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSLicensing\Store\ and delete the
license001.

Check out http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=315262 for more info, its kind
of related.

That did the trick. Thanks a million! This helped save what's let of my
sanity. I never thought to check the licensing as XP and 2k professional
versions have the built in TS CAL's.

Thanks again!
