XP accessing Windows 2000 server

[Guest Darwin]

I have 2 laptops both running XP PRO. I have a server running Windows 2000

server. The TS server is running in application mode.

One of the laptops can access the server ok, the other had it's temporary

license expire. Why was it running with a temporary license? The laptops

were purchased at different times has something changed with XP?

My understanding was that XP PRO came with a license to access TS under 2000

server without requiring the purchase of additional licenses.

 

Any ideas? Should I run the TS server in administrator mode in order to get

both laptops to have valid licenses?

 

Thanks

All clients start out with a temporary license. That is normal. What I

would do is check the permissions on the

HKLM\software\microsoft\mslicensing key. Make sure that users have full

control of that key and everything below it.

Hi Jeff,

I appreciate your time.

I did as you suggested. I set full control for the users on the mslicensing

key and all sub-keys.

I am getting "The remote computer disconnected the session because of an

error in the licensing protocol"

 

The other laptop still connects ok.
