Hi - thanks for your response. The clients are running Windows XP Pro and are using RDP to connect to the TS. It is a simple domain network connecting through a 3com switch. A broadband router is used for internet access. The new server is the first TS on the network.

I understand that these clients are not issued a permanent license. I assume that the TS runs W2K, correct? There are several possible causes for this: * which OS are the clients running? If they are *not* running W2K Professional or XP Pro, they need a purchased TS CAL * have these clients previously connected to another TS and received a TS CAL from another TS Licensing Server? Somtimes there's a problem to renew a TS CAL issued by another LS. * what kind of network connection is there between the clients and the Terminal Server? There might be a "black hole router" somewhere between the TS and the clients, which blocks packets above a certain size. This can prevent the transfer of the permanent TS CAL to the client. If this is the problem, you have to change the MTU size. Check the Terminal Services FAQ, there are 2 items about this under "Connectivity" http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/community/centers/terminal/te rminal_faq.mspx ___________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net/ ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Cormac Sent: 2 november 2006 09:45 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] FW: Terminal Services Licensing for Clients Attached to a WorkGroup Hello, I have two users on a site that require access to an old application server. In order to keep them networked to the old server they are WorkGroup members and have temporary Terminal Service Licenses. Another 5 users are part of the new domain (Windows 2000 Server) and have correct Terminal Services License Tokens. Is there anyway of keeping the users as members of the WorkGroup and giving them permanent TS Licenses? Thanks for your help.
