TSW2K\VistaHomePremium

[Guest gh]

I have a W2K server, that the users have been accessing with XP

Professional and Vista Business for the past year. We have a new

machine (HP) that came with Vista Home Premium on it. The user was

accessing the terminal server without any problems until a couple of

weeks ago, they updated Vista and whenever they would access the TS,

they would get a message that the TS License was going to expire in X

number of days. The license has expired and I checked the TS event log

and it reads "The Terminal Server cannot issue a client license." The

Vista machine displays a message "The remote computer disconnected the

session because of an error in the licensing protocol." None of our

other machines are getting any messages like this. What would be the

problem?

 

TIA

Re: TSW2K\VistaHomePremium

 

Do you have a license server setup with CALs installed on it?

 

Win XP and Vista Business clients can freely access W2K TS (consuming the

free W2K BUILTIN CALs).

Vista Home Premium cannot freely access W2K TS (it needs W2K PERM CAL to be

installed).

 

The sudden problem is most likely not related to the windows update, it's

possible that the temporary CAL expired in the same timeframe.

 

Thx. Alice
