I have installed Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition at home. (It is under
the 120 day grace period) I have installed Terminal Services and according to
the checklist there is no need for a TS License server during the grace
period. However in server manager it keeps noting it can't find a licensing
server. I have installed the gateway and web access portions, also routing
and remote access services, Configured the users to be in the remote desktop
group and still I can not connect via terminal services. As an administrator
I can connect to the server both locally and remotely. I assume that is
because as an admin I am still only using Remote Desktop (since it shows no
connections in "Routing and remote access" Did I install Termial Services
incorrectly for the grace period?
 
Re: I can not connect any clients to Terminal Services

Silly but did you install the Terminal Server service role on the server? I
found that some clients missed that part, because when they install the TS
role they think that's it and that it's not necessary to select the TS role
service.

Also, besides administrators, can any other user logo on to the TS in the
local LAN? Let's troubleshoot that part before we complicate things further
with RRAS and TS Gateway.

> I do have the Role Service installed and also from the server machine users who are not members of the admin group can not connect. I continue to get the error message : To log on to this remote computer, you must be granted the Allow log on through Terminal Services right...etc.
