hi,
the situation here is as follows.
i have 20 machines all XP using remote desktop connection
connecting to a terminal server in another domain. all
the machines are configured the same way except for the
IP address. they all work fine except one. this machine
can connect to internal servers and other XP machines
using remote desktop connection but it cannot connect to
this server. it was working fine intil last week and off
course i was on vacation last week. i checked the IP
configuration and I see no reason why it should not
connect.

any ideas?

thanks
 
So what happens when you try to connect, any error messages?
Anything in the EventLog on the TS when you try to connect?
Which OS does the TS run?
 
Hi Vera,

on the client, the message that i get is
Remote desktop connection disconnected and it gives me
three reasons
1- the remote server is not configured to accept
connections (not true)
2- the remote server has reached its limit (also not true
since i can open a new connection from my PC)
3- network problems ( ican connect to other servers in
the remote domain)

there is nothing in the event log of the TS and the
server is running windows 2000 server.

i get the error message brfor authentication. it get
dumped right away.
 
On the client remove this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSLicensing\Store\LICENSE00x
Then logon again.
 
You actually want to remove:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSLicensing

But that is not necessarly going to fix your problem. It
will give him another temp license.

Since it is dumping before you get the GINA (Logon Page)
you are most likely having a licensing problem.

Override the discovery process setting the
DefaultLicenseServer key to the IP of the License
Server. This will ensure discovery is not the problem.
 
I agree with Wayne that the problem is most likely caused by a
non-existing (or un-detected) Licensing Server. But in that case,
there *are* events in the TS EventLog: Event 1010 (cannot locate
Licensing Server) and/or Event 1004 (cannot issue license).
