SBS2k ts from xp home

[Guest Louis Goodbrod]

Is there a cal that will enable this connection? Maybe client-side? It worked

for a while, I'm guessing with a temp license on the ts, but now it gives

error about no licenses available even when no one is connected. The server

has 5 ts licenses. Also having the same problem from a Vista Home system.

 

Thanks

You need to ask that in an SBS group. It is probably related to the SBS and

not specifically the TS. I've seen it happen, but I don't have an answer, I

never figured it out either,...but it was a test lab and so it never really

mattered.

Re: SBS2k ts from xp home

 

Without knowing *exactly* which licensing error you get, it is

impossible to give a definitive answer.

But most likely, you either don't have any purchased Terminal

Services CALs installed on your TS Licensing Server, or you didn't

install a TS Licensing Server at all.

 

To connect with an XP Home client to any Terminal Server, you need

both a server CAL and a TS CAL.

Re: SBS2k ts from xp home

 

The server list 5 Terminal Services per device cals installed and list 2 as

available.

Re: SBS2k ts from xp home

 

The message says:

The remote computer disconnected the session because of an error in the

licensing protocol.

 

Any help?

Re: SBS2k ts from xp home

 

OK, that's *not* the standard message that you get when no licenses

are available.

 

Do the users have Full Controll on the registry key in the client's

registry which stores the license?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSLicensing

 

By default, Vista users don't have Write permission on this key,

and thus they cannot store the license. Could be the same on XP

Home, I've never used that.

Re: SBS2k ts from xp home

 

I will check this. I am assuming they are using the account created during

oobe as a local admin account.

Re: SBS2k ts from xp home

 

Yes, both the XP home system and the Vista Home premium system are using the

admin account created during oobe. Wouldn't this give the xp user full access

to the registry? I haven't been able to test the run-as on the vista machine

as of yet.

Re: SBS2k ts from xp home

 

Yes, on XP, that would mean full access.

Have you tried deleting the registry key completely, and than

connecting *twice*? (first time you should get a temporary license,

second time you should get a permanent license).

Re: SBS2k ts from xp home

 

I finally had access to the Vista machine. I tried deleting the key and

connecting and that didn't work. Next I tried running MSTSC as admin and it

worked. So then I opened regedit and changed security settings on that one

key to allow her account full control and now it works for her without using

the run-as. I have yet to get access to the XP machine but I imagine I will

follow the same course.

 

Thank you for your help.
