We have a 30 server XA6.5 farm provisioned via PVS 6.1 . Every weekend the guests are rebooted. Almost every time this happens at least one server boots up and a few hours later stops allowing connections due to being unable to acquire TS licenses.

I have an application that accesses a peripheral via serial port. The computers with the peripheral attached run the application on a remote terminal server. This worked with XP, and with Windows Server 2003, but now on Windows Server 2008, no dice. Yes, I set my client to use serial ports in the remote session. We have a 30 server XA6.5 farm provisioned via PVS 6.1. Every weekend the guests are rebooted. Almost every time this happens at least one server boots up and a few hours later stops allowing connections due to being unable to acquire TS licenses.

Event Log states

'The RD Licensing grace period has expired and Licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host server has not been configured. Licensing mode must be configured for continuous operation.'

When we reboot these guests it sorts itself out. Not the same guests every week. Have tried a larger reboot stagger.

Anyone got any ideas why this happens?
