Nope, it was a very short msg saying it was unable to give out a license.
It fit on one line in the description box.

Is the licensing error this:
Is this the error message:
Event ID: 1010
Source: TermSrvice
Type: Warning
Description: The terminal services could not locate a license server.
Confirm that all license servers on the network are registered in
WINS\DNS, accepting network requests, and the Terminal Services
Licensing Service is running.

If so check this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService\Paramet
ers

Name: DefaultLicenseServer
Data type: REG_SZ
Data value: ServerName (Netbios Name)

If this key does not exist where is your TS License Server located?

Hi all,

a few weeks ago, we discussed possible causes for not being able to
complete the login process.  Some of the responses told me to stop/start
the spooler on the server and all should be well.  Tried it and it did
not fix the problem.  Further experimentation (on a production system)
is leading me towards agreeing that it has something to do with the
print spooler.  Two of the lockups occurred after I had used Printer
Management in the CMC.  I was using the compatability feature to block
and the mapping feature to map.  Within 20 minutes of doing my work, I
started receiving calls about not being able to login.

The overall problem is that no one can complete the login process.  I
can't even login from the console.  I put in my credentials and then the
screen goes blue (defualt background color).  If you are attempting an
ICA connection, you get the Metaframe XP logo box.  Two items of note
show up in the event logs.  There is a Terminal Service license error
(unable to give out a license) and a ton of entries in the security log.
When I tried to login to the console, numerous id578 entries appeared.
The pattern was 3 successful, 1 failure.  This continued every few
seconds from the time I started to login until the time I rebooted.  I
stopped counting at 200 entries.  According to the only Q article I can
find, this is a bogus msg fixed in W2K SP3.

Of my four lockuops in two days, only two show a license error so it may
be a by-product of the problem, and not a cause/symptom.  A check of my
license manager shows that there are plenty unassigned.

As always,  W2K SP2 XPe FR2, plus a few citrix hotfixes.
