Re: Could Not Establish A Connection To The Remote Computer...

There might be a black hole router between your clients in domain B
and the TS in domain A, which blocks packets above a certain size.
This prevents the transfer of the permanent TS CAL to the client
(on first connection, the client gets a temporary license, on
second connection, it gets a permanent license).

If this is the problem, you have to change the MTU size. Check the
Terminal Services FAQ, there are 2 items about this under
"Connectivity"

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/community/centers/termin
al/terminal_faq.asp

The multiple temporary licenses are caused by deleting the
MSLicensing key from the clients. This forces the LS to issue a new
temporary license of the next connection.

Hello,

We have Terminal Services in application mode along with its
licensing service in Domain A, which we installed two days ago.
Users in Domain A can connect in with no problem. However,
users in a Domain B, which is in a completely different forest,
have trouble connecting in even though they have Windows XP
Professional.

A user in Domain B can connect in one time with no problem. But
when the user tries to connect in a second time, the following
error message appears on their screen:
"The client could not establish a connection to the remote
computer. The most likely casues for this error are: 1) Remote
connections might not be enabled at the remote computer. 2) The
maximum number of connections was exceeded at the remote
computer. 3) A network error occured while establishing the
connection"

At that time, the Terminal Service server logs event ID 1004 -
"The terminal server cannot issue a client license." If the
user in Domain B then deletes the MSLicensing key from their
registry, he/she can connect in again one time.

I also noticed Terminal Service Licensing is issuing new
temporary license (we have not yet activated our TS licenses)
each time the same user in Domain B connects, so there appear to
be "duplicates". Users in Domain A are not experiencing that
and are able to use their same already issued license (no
duplicates).

Any help/guidance you can provide to resolve this problem is
greatly appreciated. Users in Domain B are getting tired of
having to delete the MSLicensing key each time they want to
connect. Thanks in advance for your help.

Jeff
