TS Licensing Issue - Specifcally Built-in Licenses

[jay]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsnt.terminalserver.misc (More info?)

I support a customer that has a Windows 2000 TS/Citrix server and a Windows
2003 domain. TS Licensing is running on the Windows 2003 DC. They recently
migrated from a Netware environment so TS Licensing use to reside on the
TS/Citrix server itself until the Windows 2003 domain was put in place.
They have a Windows XP PC that, after the migration, was originally issued
a temporary license for Windows 2003 server and it expired after 90 days.
When I had the user delete the TS licensing registry key on the client the PC
was then issued a temporary license for Windows 2000 server. Shouldn't a
Windows XP PC receive an existing Windows 2000 server license? In other words
shouldn't any Windows XP PC that connects to the Windows 2000 TS/Citrix
server utilize a built-in license even though it is being granted from a
Windows 2003 server?

Thanks,
Jay

If it runs XP Pro: yes. XP Home needs a purchased TS CAL.
What does the EventLog on the TS record?
Note also that the *first* connection from any client always uses a
temporary license. The permanent TS CAL is issued on the second
connection.

It does run Windows XP Pro. The first time it received a license it got a
temporary license and it also received a temporary license the second time as
well. When the original license had expired I saw errors in the Event Log but
not since having the user delete the registry key and the PC acquired the
second temporary license. Any other place to look?

Thanks,
Jay

This is definitively not how it should be.
Seems to have something to do with the mixture od licenses (first a
temporary 2003 license, then a temporary W2K license).
The only related issue that I van find is this:

837321 - You cannot connect to a Windows 2000 Terminal server if
your Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services license is expired
