Note that these time periods are chosen to make sure that your temporary license lasts long enough for the old license to become available again. In the meantime, your new clients will get a temporary TS CAL, which is valid for 90 days. Will automatically be returned to the LS after the expiration date. Licenses that are not used (because the client does not connect to the TS anymore) TS CALs have an expiration date of 52-89 days after issuing. Or, am I supposed to go to management and say: we have to give Microsoft $8,000 to get $800 worth of product? At least that I could explain to management.ġ - how to recover all the RDS CALs that have been allocated to Zombie workstations? (5 out of 5 at this point)Ģ - how do I preassign RDS CALs to particular workstations, so I can avoid this nonsense in the future (which will be in 4 months when I set up another network with similar requirements)? We might as well have taken the money and burnt it. Works, you will know what the error message is.Īt this point we have spent $800 on RDS CALs which are totally useless.
my response to this message is unprintable. and tried to revoke again, got the error message again. I then tried to revoke another license and got an error message, which I ignored. We got 1 client back, temporarily, until someone used the wrong computer yet again. So, to clean up this mess, I revoked a license. workstations that we no longer want to have access to RDS on the servers, but which now have (you guessed it) Third: as we were migrating from one set of servers to the other, we used RDS from various workstations to trouble shoot application problems. Second: we connected from one server to another via RDS (in order to get around the first problem).
Then we started cleaning up the network and RDS went into la la land.įirst: we renamed workstations that had RDS device CALS assigned. We installed 5 CALs in perĭevice mode, as we only have 5 workstations that we want to normally use for accessing the servers.Įverything was fine for the first month. We have 1 server running the RDS licensing and the other 3 point to it for licenses. As part of this migration we installed and configured RDS. We migrated from 4 existing servers to 4 new servers running Windows 2008 R2. Situation: have a network with 25 workstations connected up to 4 application servers (no file or print services) with network configured as workgroup (no domain).
