hello ,
we have 2000 srv , prof , NT 4

but am only able to connect Terminal Services Client with
W2K server & with Prof .
Am not able to connect Terminal Services with NT4
Can anybody help me to find this query !

Thanks
Santosh

 
My first guess would be licensing...if you can't connect to a Win2k terminal server from an NT4 client, your NT4 client might have an expired Temporary CAL from the terminal services licensing server. Windows 2000 systems have that CAL built-in and wouldn't be affected.

You'd either have to add some CALs to the licensing server, try a different NT4 workstation, or use a reg hack that removes the expired temp CAL from the client's registry and that would allow you to get a new 90-day temp CAL (I can dig up the link for that if it sounds useful).

Hope that helps!

HI ALL ,
MY ISSUE IS SOLVED BY CREATING CLIENT COPY ,
BUT NOW AM ONLY ABLE TO ACCESS W2K SERVER FROM 98/NT .
I WANT TO OPEN 95/98/NT FROM ANY OPERATING SYSTEM LIKE RIGHT NOW AM ACCESSING W2K .
IS IT POSSIBLE ?


REGARDS ,
SANTOSH
 
From what I have seen of Microsoft it is no surprise that you would have problems with TS.
When you first install W2K Server you are granted 2 90 licenses if you enter in administrative mode.
The question I have is what do you do if you have plenty of CALs but it is after the 90 period and the server will not allow you to connect and download licenses.
I can only access my TS with a 98 machine and nothing else.
And that is the first machine to have access to it.
My W2k Prof machine won't access it and that is because I cannot get a new license.
How do you fix the problem with the server and get your ability to access it through terminal services?
