Re: TermServ CAL issued to "Unknown" is locking one of my CALs!

Thanks very much, Vera, for your timely response and great information.

Mia culpa: Last week I started to administrate this TS from my new Samsung
i730 PocketPC phone using the built in Terminal Server client and Verizon's
EVDO network. This must be the "unknown" machine name!! Its like I locked
someone else's car keys it my own car!

The "accounts" machine is not being issued a tempory TS CAL, though. Is
this because it is not considered a "new" client?

Other than adding a new TSCAL to the server ($$), or waiting till the
"unknown" license expires, is there a way to get the "accounts" machine back
on to the network ?

It seems like I should be adding a per-user CAL for the Administrator
account, which is the one I use from various clients as I remotely
administrate their network. All of the other users use one of the 6 clients
on a per-device basis. Would that be your advice?

Thanks again,
John Benjamin
