Hi,

I have a 2003 domain with several servers Windows 2003.

The license's server is installed in a Windows 2003 member server.

The problem appears to me in my DC.It's a Windows 2003 to which I can not
access with terminal server.If I check to the license's server,I don't see
the license of my DC.

However, still I have free licenses.

do you know where can be the problem?

Thank you very much by your aid
 
Re: Problems with DC and TS

You mean you have TS intsalled on DC.
And TS License Server on Domain joined machine.

Well I guess your TS is not able to discover TS License Server.
You need to specify the License Server on TS. Please check following link
for doing that

Re: Problems with DC and TS

Hi Ratnesh,

I have tried the solution but the TS don't work in my DC.

My DC find the LS and others servers have TS working fine.

Thanks a lot for your efforts ;)

Re: Problems with DC and TS

Javier, could you describe your problem in a bit more detail?
What exactly is it that doesn't work?
You are not able to connect to the DC? What error message do you
get when you try to connect?
Have you checked the EventLog on the server?
Can you logon to the physical console of the server?
If so, can you from the physical console connect to the server
itself, with "mstsc /v:localhost"?

Re: Problems with DC and TS

Hi Vera,

Excuse me for my poor description.

Ok,this is the scene:

We have a windows 2003 domain whith several windows 2003 server.This servers
have installed TS and our users works fine in this servers.The LS is a
windows 2003 member server and mi DC is a windows 2003 server.

In all servers,TS works fine but in DC server Ts don't work.If I try to
connect to DC whith the remote desktop,i get access via remote desktop.But,if
i try to connect to DC with two connections or more, a message is showed:

The client could not establish a connection to the remote computer.

The most likely causes for this error are:
1) Remote connections might not be enabled at the remote computer.
2) The maximum number of connections was exceeded at the remote computer.
3) A network error occurred while establishing the connection.

I don't find any messages in the event viewer about the problem.

I have tried to execute "mstsc /v:localhost" and i connect me perfectly.

Where is the mistake?

Thanks a lot for your efforts

Re: Problems with DC and TS

Sounds to me as if Terminal Services isn't installed on the DC, and
you just have 1 administrative session left. And I certainly hope
that this is the case, because it is *not* a good idea to install
Terminal Services on a DC!

What you can do is to start the TS Manager on the DC, and check if
there is still an old disconnected session. If so, reset that
session. This will make sure that you can have 2 simultaneous
administrative sessions to the DC + 1 to the console, with the
command "mstsc /console", for a total of 3 free administrative
sessions.

Does this solve your problem?

Re: Problems with DC and TS

Hi Vera,

Terminal Services is installed on the DC.I checked old connections but there
aren't anything.

I can connect with administrative session,but no with TS.

You say that it's not a good idea to install TS on a DC.What's the reasons
about this?

The only solution that is happened to me, is to repair the installation of
the server :(

Re: Problems with DC and TS

You should never run Terminal Services on a DC, for bot performance
and security reasons.
Keep in mind that a TS is just a multi-user workstation! Do you
really want to have your users log on to your DC and use it as
their PC?

Before you try to repair the installation, have you checked if
there is a limit on the number of concurrent connections configured
in Terminal Services Configuration - rdp-tcp connection - Network?
This should be configured with "unlimited" number of sessions.

Re: Problems with DC and TS

Hi Vera,

The problem is fixed.I checked the limit of connections and it was checked
one connection.

Thanks a lot for your help and patience ;)
