And if you want to use admin license - use should execute mstsc with /admin key.

Hello, no, with administartion mode you can have 2 remote and one desktop session enabled. To use the RD CALs, you have to install the RD Licensing server and activate the license for the server then add the RD CALs to the licensing server. Now the server, where the users should logon to, must be prepared for the applications and the user must be allwoed to logon to the server, by default users are NOT allwoed. For all details about please ask in the already mentioned RD/TS forum.Best regards Meinolf Weber MVP, MCP, MCTS Microsoft MVP - Directory Services My Blog: http://msmvps.com/blogs/mweber/ Disclaimer: This posting is provided AS IS with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.
