[rdesktop-users] Question about rdesktop and Win 2003 Terminal Service Licensing

[Roark H. <roa...@op...>]

Hello everyone,

I have been experimenting with rdesktop running on a Mac OS 10.4.2-based 
client to access a Windows 2003 Terminal Server that is configured as a 
Terminal Services License Server with 10 installed terminal service 
CAL's (installed as device clients).

It seems to work well for the most part but I noticed that Windows 2003 
does not seem to know how to deal with it as a client in terms of how it 
issues terminal service licenses. It seems that every time I log into 
the Windows 2003 Server that a new terminal service CAL is issued to my 
test machine. Over the last five days five different licenses have been 
issued to the same machine. Of my ten clients only four more are listed 
as being available even though only two people have accessed the server, 
the other person accessing the server has done so with Microsoft's 
Remote Desktop Connection software, only one license certificate has 
been issued to it.

Does anyone know how to set things up so that when I connect to the 
server the server recognizes that it has already issued a client to my 
computer?

Thanks in advance.
