Where are my TS Device CALs going?

[Guest Daniel Segel]

We have 140 Per-Device CALs installed on our licensing server. At this point

they have all been issued, but the TS Licensing Manager doesn't tell me

who/what device each Device CAL has been issued to other than giving a simple

name. The problem is that there are seemingly many licenses issued to devices

I can't identify and there are several cases where there are multiple

licenses issued to the same device (by name).

 

For example, I have licenses issued to:

 

jsmith

jsmith

jsmith

default

dafault

LH-UAGS5F2WL7GZ

192.168.0.13

192.168.1.2

WBT00806439040D

WBT0080643905C8

WI_JyeXK7iFyI9b1t

 

Note that we do not use any 192.168.x.x IPs anywhere on our network, and all

systems here have real (identifiable) names. I suspect the 192.168.x.x

devices are coming in via our Juniper SSL VPN box (because I've seen similar

IPs there before), but there aren't enough to account for all users who come

in that way. The WI_Jxxxx device looks like a Citrix Web Interface generated

ID, but I'm not sure why there would be any of those at this point (we're not

running Citrix WI at this time).

 

Is there any way to get further information on what device these CALs have

been issued to?

 

Thanks,

 

Daniel

WBT would be Windows Based Terminals. WI does look like a web interface

name, maybe a contractor or consultant came in that way. The 192's

could be linux devices or something without a registry. As for the rest

i would guess home users. there really isn't much else you can do to

identify them except maybe if your auditing logons you could track down

that way.
