This is different from normal licensing behavior because administrators can always log on at the console or connect to the server remotely even if no licenses are available. Administrators must log on at the Terminal Server console, or access the server by means other than the RDP client, if the Terminal Server runs out of licenses. When an RDP client is denied access, the client will receive the generic message: Terminal Server has ended the connection.

Computers running Windows for Workgroups 3. Terminal Server License Manager creates seven temporary files in the System32 directory. The temporary files are called JET1. These files are used to temporarily store newly created licenses.

It is possible to have more than seven JETx. TMP files. If the server is powered off without using the shutdown routine or if the server is shut down inside an RDP client session, the JETx. TMP files are not cleaned up. Shutting down the server through an RDP client session is generally not an issue, since services are written to handle power outages by committing cached data very quickly.

Terminal servers will not automatically discover license servers running in domain mode that are running on non-domain controllers.

However, if you install the licensing server in Enterprise mode, terminal servers WILL automatically discover any license server, even if they are running on member servers. Ditto to what Stash said. I have Win2k3 Terminal Licensing running on a Compaq Evo desktop that is loaded as a 2k3 server, sitting right behind me. I assure you, that machine is not a Domain controller!
