vista rdc to w2k terminal services server

[Guest KS Teo]

Hi,

I just upgrade my OS from xp to vista. When I used rdc (remote desktop

connection) access W2k Terminal Server, this is at temporary licences.

Before the upgrade, this is at permanent licences. Please advice me why

vista cannot be same as xp on the permanent licences?

Thanks

Are there any errors or warnings in the EventLog on the server?

Which version of Vista are you running?

Have you made sure that you have enough user rights on the Vista

client to store the permanent license? Try running mstsc with RunAs

and use an Administrator account to see if that solves the problem.

Thank for your help.

I'm using vista home premium. Just wonder is vista home premium a Terminal

Services Built-in licenses (like w2k and wxp)?

Currently, I use Vista Home Premium to access W2k Terminal Server, it is

under Temporary licenses, not Existing Windows 2000 License.

If I use Windows XP to access W2k Terminal Server, it is under Existing

Windows 2000 License.

 

Built-in licenses. Clients that are running the Windows 2000 operating

system are automatically licensed as Terminal Services Clients.

Temporary licenses. When a terminal server requests a client access license

and the License server has none to give, it will issue a temporary license.

The license will track the issuance and expiration of these.

Yes, I understand what's happening.

I *believe* that Vista is entitled to a free TS CAL from the built-

in pool, but I'm not 100% sure if that applies to all versions of

Vista, and the information is hard to find.

 

That's why I asked you to check the EventLog on the TS and run the

Terminal Services client with an Administrator account on Vista.

 

It is a known problem (on all clients, not only Vista) that you

need permission to write to the registry key which stores the

permanent license on the client, to be able to use one. And Vista

comes with AUC and runs the terminal services client with less user

rights as normal. So I'm thinking that maybe you can't get a

permanent license, because you can't store it.

 

So can you check this and post the results back?
