Discover Terminal Services Licensing Server

Hi,
We need to discover terminal server in our environment. There are some clients which are already using terminal services. Whenever we enable any new server to use terminal services it didn't discover it automatically. We even didn't have sufficient information
of terminal server, IP, computer name etc.
Is there any way we can find the information of terminal server from clients already using terminal services?

You can check this from a management console but the Instructions vary depending on what version of Windows Server you are running.
You could just check the following the registry setting on a machine that is already configured...
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services\License Servers on 2008 R2 or HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService\Parameters\LicenseServers\SpecifiedLicenseServers on 2012 R2

Terminal Services licensing firewall ports

I have been searching the internet for an informative network\firewall drawing for the Terminal Services Licensing traffic when it comes to firewall ports requirements etc
Does someone have a detailed description or a (visio) drawing showing the ports required for WTS Licensing?
We have the following Citrix based Terminal Server environment:
- Windows 2008 R2 running XenApp6
- Clients come from internal (LAN) and external connections (Citrix Access Gateway)
- There is a firewall between the Citrix XenApp WTS farm and the MS Terminal Services Licensing server (Win 2008 R2)
Can someone explain how the TSCAL\RDCAL "traffic" flows and the ports required from A-Z ?
/Tord Bergset

I believe the correct random ports used for for Windows Server 2008 are 49152-65535, not 1024-65535
I am looking for a visio or something showing this...
For Citrix solutions one have no problem finding network drawing showing firewall ports etc, but fro MS WTS licensing I jsut cannot find anything showing ports required etc
Lot of designd docs\drawings regarding RDP traffic etc, but not anything for the RDCAL\TSCAL licensing traffic
Scenario below:

Sun Ray Windows Connector Terminal Services licenses issue

Hi!
I've installed the latest Sun Ray 4 09/07 as well as the Windows Connector (srwc) recently released on a machine. I've followed the instructions given in the installation guide. But when 'uttsc' is executed I received the following error message.
"No Terminal Services licenses are available"
I have no issue in connecting to other Windows server (say windows-02) only to this particular Windows server (windows-01). Surprisingly, I have no problem 'uttsc'-ing to windows-01 using pre-existing Sun Ray 4. Any idea why and how to resolve this?
Appreciate anyone who responds. Thanks.

Jonathan

What Terminal Server license model are you using? And what does Windows Terminal Server License Manger show for number of licenses in use and availble?

Session failed : The terminal services license is invalid

Hi,
I have one user who receive this message(session failed : The terminal services license is invalid) , all other user work ok.
When the same user try on other desktop he works fine.
I try to delete all cache, cookies on the desktop, i try the "tarantella tscal free" command but the problem is already present.
Can you help me ?
I run SGD 4.2-909 on Linux RedHat 4.

I understand the licensing model as it pertains to standard connectivity, (i.e. a wintel box using the rdp client to connect directly to the terminal server). <<
But how does the java emulation of the client work? does it also deposit data in the local windows registry regarding TS Cal licensing? Is it static to the workstation used to connect to SGD? <<Should work the same way for Windows clients; the Terminal Services CAL is stored in the local client registry; as I understand it, this is a legal requirement of the RDP source license.
For non-Windows clients, the TSCAL is stored on the server in a license pool, and can be viewed / manipulated with the tarantella tscal command. TS CAL's are allocated to this pool for the TS License service, and handed out to users as necessary. Reading ahead to the next posting, it's possible to get an expired license stuck in this pool, which can cause problems. Using the tscal command, should check to see if there's an expired license in the pool, and if so, delete it.

Windows 2012. Assign RDS service Licensing Server on Standalone Server. Connect to the licensing server on the same server as RDS

I have installed Windows Server 2012 Standard. I wish to run this server as a standalone server using local users as the authentication for RDS and not part of a domain. I have my RDS licenses loaded in RDS licensing service and all license show up
in the Licensing Server. I get events telling me to connect to a licensing server and I find no configuration tool now to connect to the local licensing service. It will not let me connect to the licensing service on the same computer.

Hi Bill,
After referring to your post, we can understand that you are facing issue with licensing service for your RDS Server. As Ryan has provided great article for deploying RDSH server in workgroup mode you can refer that and also I would like you to check that have
you specify a license Server for RDSH server to use. You can perform this setting under
deployment properties of RD Licensing and specify the name of the server and in addition there is registry setting for this under below path.
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Licensing
More information:
Specify a License Server for an RD Session Host Server to Use (For your reference)

Outlook 2007 on terminal services with server 2008 repeatedly crashes

I updated my clients server 2008 to SP2 from SP1 and it kills Outlook. I previously (a month ago) did a complete uninstall of SP2 along with all updates that were installed that day, re-installed Office 2007 Standard and it worked just fine.
I have turned off DEP, ran some registry items that ive found online and spent hours on this! The server is working great as SP2 fixed a lot of "weird" issues. BUT Outlook and ONLY Outlook is crashing whenever you start the program. It
will not even let me try and start a new message, reply, etc. It stops at send/receive and usually at 66%
any help would be wonderful!

Session Failed: The Terminal Services license does not match this client

We have had some issues recently with specific OSX Clients accessing SGD remotely. The above message appears in a connection progress dialog box and the user is no longer able to login i have been given some information from a colleague about the tscal free command however i unsure whether or not this will resolve the issue. Does anyone have any information about this.
Regards
Jamie

We are using SGD 4.5.
On my mac pro i could not access the page it kept saying loading sgd however i got a colleague to try it with firefox, it would not work he updated firefox to the latest version and he was in. He could launch the demo apps fine. Strange though as this only seems to effect our SGD system. Should i be contacting Sun Support about this?
Thanks for the response.

RDS license server failover

Hi
I have a question regarding adding a second RDS license server in my environment. I am using per device mode and want to keep all licenses on my current RDS license server instead of splitting them up. If I add a second server and I loose my primary server
what happens to clients already holding a license and trying to authenticate? Will they be issued a temporary license from the secondary RDS license server or will they be declined since the secondary server is unable to validate the issued license?
Thanks

Hi Brain,
Yes you are correct. I am trying to achieve this by manually deleting the all hidden .svn folder from the workspace. Now I am getting the Versioning-->Import Files option for the workspace. Still in between the process of importing the files to new SVN. Is it the correct approach, or any one has other approach to do it.?

Licensing mode for terminal services

Hi,
This has been most likely asked here already but i just cannot find exactly what i'm looking for. OK, here's my situation:
We have a windows server 2008 cd installer. We already had it running before, but we got hit with a virus that we needed to re-install. Now, we are just getting things back to work again. However, we are encountering this message on our server.
"The licensing mode for the terminal server is not configured"
When i tried to configure the licensing, it's asking for the license code. But i'm not sure where to find the license code? is it in the CD installer?
Actually, i was not the one who installed the windows server before; i just took over when the server got hit with a virus.
Also, i'm not very sure if we really need the TS CALs. Our server has multiple users from different countries, and we access the server through remote desktop access.
Hope you can help us with this issue.
Thank you, i appreciate it.
Best,
Vanessa

Hi,
I forgot to inform that license server has actually been activated already. So i assumed we just need to configure the licensing mode. And so, from Terminal Services Configuration, i clicked "terminal services licensing mode" and i set it to "Per User". Now
the message "Licensing mode still not configured.." is now gone when i logged in to server. However, i get this warning on Terminal Services Configuration window:
"Terminal server is in Per User licensing mode, but license server does not have any Windows Server 2008 Per User TS CALs installed."
And when i checked from the TS Licensing Manager, and selected the server name, the details are:
TS CAL Version and type: Windows 2000 Server - Built-in TS Per Device CALs
License Program: Built-in
Total TS CALs: Unlimited
Available: Unlimited
Issued: 0
What does this mean? Should we set the TS licensing mode to Per Device instead of Per User?
Thank you.
Regards,
Vanessa

Terminal Services (TS) or Remote Desktop Services (RDS) scenario clarifications

Dear Support,
Question:
Do I still need to purchase RDS CALS license? or can use MSDN CALs in the Terminal Server?
Due to MSDN subscribers are End users, do not use Production Data and have to demo their developed applications to other End users group.
Scenario:
1. Use only Remote Desktop Session.
2. End users are MSDN Subscribers. (Although stated by Microsoft End users are non MSDN subscribers)
3. End users demo applications to End users.
4. End users develop their applications and have to demo to other End users group.
From MSDN link:
Client Access Licenses for Terminal Services
With an MSDN subscription, you are allowed to provide end users access to Internet demonstrations of your programs via Terminal Services (Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008) or Remote Desktop Services (Windows Server 2008 R2). Up to 200 anonymous
users can simultaneously access your demonstration this way. Your demonstration must not use production data. MSDN subscribers are licensed to demonstrate their applications to end users,
but Terminal Services (TS) or Remote Desktop Services (RDS) is the only scenario where end users without an MSDN subscription can interact with the demonstration application while the software is licensed through MSDN subscriptions.
Accessing CALs
MSDN subscribers can access CALs for demonstration purposes through the
Product keys page of MSDN Subscriber Downloads. Please access the documentation resources online for assistance with the
Terminal Server activation process. If you have any questions, please visit the Microsoft
Terminal Services forum.

How do RDP clients obtain license from host/license server?

Hi,
I have a W2k8 R2 server setup with Remote Desktop Session Host and Licensing. This will be used to allow more than 2 RDP connections to a server.
Can someone explain the process from the client side, getting the license from the host/licensing server, then connect to the server they need to manage?
What configuration is needed on the client/server side to know it needs check for a RDP license?
Thanks in advance,
J

Hello,
Below is the licensing guide for Remote Desktop Services.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-in/library/dd983943(v=ws.10).aspx
How the connection works,
The clients will first connect to Remote Desktop Session Host. The Session host will forward it to the License Server.
You have the option to tell the Remote Desktop Session host to say which is the license server it should contact. Check this link below to see how to do this.
http://hookorcrook.net/2011/12/19/configuring-remote-desktop-services-licensing-server-windows-server-2008/
All the CAL licenses will be installed and configured in the License Server.
There are two types of CAL licenses - Per User and Per Device CALs. Based on the type of license available in the License server, the license will be obtained and the user's connection is forwarded to the Remote Desktop Session host server.
If no license is available in the Licensing server, it will fail there.

ZEN 3 + Terminal Services

Hi all,
I'm using ZEN 3.0 and Terminal Services (Windows Server 2003), and I have
some problems.
When an windows administrator logs on, the NAL can be lauched, but this not
works for common users.
Another issue is the fact of the restrictive policies does not apply the
settings to the users. Only settings like the folder redirection works...
Someone knows how I can solve this problem?
Thanks,
Pioker

> I'm using ZEN 3.0 and Terminal Services (Windows Server 2003), and I have

Only ZEN 6.5 is supported with Windows Server 2003.

Problems printing w2k8 + terminal services + hp laserjet 1020 printer

Hi!
I can not print from terminal services (w2k8 server r2) with a hp laserjet 1020 .document remains in the local print queue but does not end,only in RDP. I've
searched through the HP's website but they know nothing about it.I have another server with the same features and this all works well and I've checked all the settings and are equal, only a difference:
when printing from the server with problems in the local print queue information shows the port where it is printed in this case is usb but when printing from the server to work properly, the print queue nothing is displayed in the column port.
windows server 2008 r2 , 32 bit(terminal services) ,(isn't a dc server)
windows 7 bussines 32 bit (local pc)
printer:hp laserjet 1020
please help me!!!!!
Thanks in advanced

Hi,
Firstly, have you check the printer spooler service is started?
Check the latest printer driver is installed on server?
Apart from this you can check basic printer redirection requirements must be there for successful printer redirection.
- RDP 7.0 or above
- .Net Framework 3.5 or above
- If you connect over RD Gateway, ensure that the policy that disables printer redirection is turned off.
- GPO setting "Use Print printer driver first” must be set to “Enabled” for Easy Print redirection, and it has to be “Disabled” for Legacy Print.
More information.
Printer redirection not working
Apart there is update rollup for printing issue for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2, you can try to download and install might this help to resolve your issue.

Hope it helps!

ADS+Terminal Services on a Single Physical Server running Windows Server 2008 R2

We have a Dual Processor Server (2 x Intel Xeon E5-2620v2 + 32GB RAM) running on Windows Server 2008 R2. This has ADS configured. We now wish to add a VDI Setup with NComputing Zero-Clients. We have to run Terminal Services with User RDS CAL + User
CAL for all VDI Clients.
Please confirm if we can have both the ADS & Terminal Services running on the same physical server ? Are there known issues or crashes due to this ? Or should both these run on two different servers ? Customer does not want to invest in one more server
& OS. Hence, we have to run both the services on a single physical server. Customer has just upgraded his server to a Dual Processor with 32GB RAM to accommodate both the services.
Please advice, if we can run both the ADS & TS on the same server. What is the best practice for this Solution ?
Thanks & Regards,
VR

Hi,
After referring your comment I can say that, you can able to use ADS and Terminal service on same physical server with server 2008 R2. But installing a terminal server on an Active Directory domain controller is not recommended. I suggest that it’s not a good
practice to manage the environment in that way. If possible, then try to run on two different machines for better result and to avoid any problem. Allowing users to run programs on a domain controller could create security risks and performance issues.
If the Terminal Server role service is installed on a domain controller, the security settings of the domain controller will need to be adjusted to allow user’s remote access to the server. This remote access is controlled by the "Allow log on through Terminal
Services" user rights assignment, which can be configured by using the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC).
You can refer below link for more information.
1. Installing RD Session Host on a Domain Controller
2. Best practices for setting up Remote Desktop Licensing (Terminal Server Licensing) across Active Directory Domains/Forests or Workgroup
Hope it helps!
Regards.
