Re: rdesktop has eaten all my CALs!

Change the Terminal Servers to 'User CALs' rather than Device CALs.  Device
CALs and Windows Server 2003 with rdesktop do not play.  Putting a TS in
User CAL mode basically completely disables MS's licensing scheme (and is a
recommended action from Microsoft - go figure).

Subject: [rdesktop-users] rdesktop has eaten all my CALs!

Hi,

I'm the only Linux user on my LAN, everyone else uses
Windows.

I use rdesktop 1.5.0 to connect to our Windows
terminal servers.

I've just found that I can no longer connect. Checking
the event log on the terminal server I see event 1004
"The terminal server cannot issue a client license.".

So I've checked the license server and see that my
workstation has been issued 100 out of our 150
licenses with no more available.

Obviously this is problematic as I don't now how (or
if) I can reclaim these licenses (and no one new can
connect) and also because this surely shouldn't happen
with rdesktop.

Any help or advice gratefully received!

Leon Stringer
