RDP connection issue

[Guest goundhog]

I have 10 Citrix 4.5 terminal servers

 

Users all work fine using ICA connections

 

However I want a few users to have RDP access for some functionality not

available through ICA

 

When they connect via RDP they get

 

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

licensing protocol."

 

They have permissions on the rdp-tcp connector, and obviously TS licensing

works as that is required for ICA connections - and they connect fine with ICA

 

Nothing in eventvwr.

 

Admins can connect fine

 

Any thoughts ?

Re: RDP connection issue

 

I'm not sure if this is your problem, but it's worth to check it

out.

When you make an rdp connection to a Citrix PS server, you actually

need a Citrix license! And a client cannot share the same license

when they run both an ica and a rdp connection. So maybe you are

short on Citrix licenses?

I'm curious.. What functionality is available via RDP and not ICA? It's

usually the other way around.... ;-)
