Citrix / Remote Desktop Licensing

[Erling Johansen]

Hi,

Problem: After Restart Schedule, some terminal servers does not accept users.

When I check Session Count in Citrix Studio I can see some servers with session count 0 (zero), and when I restart them, they will accept users again (we use MCS/machine creation service).

I have two machine catalogs, i.e "Catalog A" and "Catalog B". This problem only occures with machines in "Catalog B". The terminal servers is configured with a GPO and point to "LIC01".

If I performs a "Update Machines" in the problem catalog it works fine for a while, and I suspect this is related to the "120 Day RDS Grace Period"? The two machine catalogs are based on two different master images (Windows Server 2012 R2).

Best regards,
Erling Johansen

Do you have RSS license server up and running? Maybe a good question for citrix support forum.

Yelp - seen this with 7.15 LTSR - PITA. Not sure what it is specifically, but it would be random to what Delivery Group Servers would indeed be affected. It was not of an overly importance to set a schedule, so I just found another way that worked for me and the end users.
