Howdy All,

We are running Terminal Server (Win 2k3) in application mode with device cals.

I just installed a new license pack for some new computers, only to find out a few days later they had already been used! On further investigation I found that some people who have no business connecting to the terminal server actually do because the other guy who helps out with IT when I'm not here is lazy and thats his cop out is to have them connect there.

I also have a bunch of computers on the terminal server licensing that are now gone, have been replaced or reformatted, all of which are eating device CALs.

the question: Is there any way to clear the cache of what machines have accessed the terminal server and give it a fresh start? this would also fix a problem I have where I've renamed machines (instead of having the default names computers come with from the manufacturer which was left prior to my arrival).

Short answer (but slightly painful) - Uninstall TS licensing, reinstall and reinstall the TS licenses as 'Per User' mode. Per device is heading you down the wrong road and will continue to give you issues.
