We have 5 Terminal Server licenses running on one of our Domain Controllers. The original install was pointing to a different TS server than exists now. The thin clients get an error when trying to connect using the ICA client that there are no licenses to give out. Q1: Should the TS licenses be on the Citrix server instead? NOPE - Domain Controller where Active Directory for specific clients ID resides Q2: Can the thin clients be setup to get TS licenses from a different server than the Citrix server? YES - its a Registry entry Q3: Can the Citrix server be pointed at a different TS license server than originally installed with? If you change the registry to point to the correct TS license server -- otherwise, no Been there, did that. We use dedicated Domain Controller with Active Directory in server farm to perform only that function and licensing for LAN + WAN. Citrix runs on multiple servers in our CITRIX farm. Each CITRIX server in the farm uses the central Domain Controller to authenicate users id and TS licenses. One point only. All ICA client are assigned to different servers according to their geographic WAN city location... but the farm uses only one Domain Controller [hence the self explanatory term "domain c-o-n-t-r-o-l-l-e-r". Good luck. I am sure there will be some that use another config or differ from the above....but it works for us in 7 cities and 12 server farm array for POS+NAS+SAN functions.

We have 1 Citrix server running MetaFrame 1.0 (I know, don't laugh - I'm new to this institution). We have 5 Terminal Server licenses running on one of our Domain Controllers. The original install was pointing to a different TS server than exists now. The thin clients get an error when trying to connect using the ICA client that there are no licenses to give out. Q1: Should the TS licenses be on the Citrix server instead? Q2: Can the thin clients be setup to get TS licenses from a different server than the Citrix server? Q3: Can the Citrix server be pointed at a different TS license server than originally installed with? Thanks for any help. Matt Fowler Manager of Technical Services 309-796-5640
