I've got about 15 PC's who VPN into site and then use Windows XP remote
desktop connection to connect to a Windows 2003 SP2 Terminal server. The
problem is 5 of the PC's can't connect and they get the following error
message:

"A licensing error occurred while the client was attempting to connect.
(Licensing timed out.) Please try connecting to the remote computer again."

I can't see any event errors on either client or server and everybody else
is connecting ok. Can somebody point me in the correct direction to
investigate this problem further...

Thanks

Check in the TS Licensing Manager for these clients. If they have
been issued a temporary license, but not a permanent license, then
there might be a black hole router between your client and the TS,
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. Documented
here:

A licensing error occurred while the client was attempting to
connect. (Licensing timed out)
