Guest lbfrancois Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Re: TS CAL Monitoring and Alerting Hi, I've seen some artiles about Terminal Services License Server WMI provider to monitor available lisences. They use the following classes: Win32_TSIssuedLicense Win32_TSLicenseKeyPack Win32_TSLicenseReport Win32_TSLicenseReportEntry Win32_TSLicenseServer I couldn't find these clases on my W2k3 TS Licensing servers, I suppose it's because they require TlsWmiProv.mof Does anyone know how to get it installed?

Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Re: TS CAL Monitoring and Alerting Re: TS CAL Monitoring and Alerting I could be totally off here, but I noticed that all pages on MSDN about these classes have a banner saying "This page is specific for ..NET 3.0 Framework".

Guest lbfrancois Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Re: TS CAL Monitoring and Alerting Re: TS CAL Monitoring and Alerting Hi Vera, Thanks for your reply. This is page I'm accessing: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/aa383803.aspx I couldn't find and .NET framework 3.0 reference in there... I'm not using ..NET 3.0, but I don't see how it would add the WMI providers. At the bottom of the page, it says the TS Licensing server WMI MOF is required, but I have no idea where I can find it, or what software it is shipped with... Any ideas?

Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Re: TS CAL Monitoring and Alerting Re: TS CAL Monitoring and Alerting You're right, only installing .NET 3.0 isn't enough, you need Windows 2008 (aka Longhorn) as OS. Documented here: What’s new in Terminal Services Licensing for Longhorn?
