"Terminal Server has ended the connection"

Symptom: All new TS clients, or Remote Desktop Connection clients may connect to Terminal Services without any problems, but some existing clients that could previously connect may be unable to connect and receive the following error message:

Terminal Server has ended the connection.

Cause: This is most likely to occur because the client had been issued the temporary license and the license server has been rebuilt or is currently unavailable.

Resolution: 1. In all cases, clients can connect as if they were new clients if you delete the license from the client. For additional information about deleting licenses, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 248430 How to Transfer Terminal Services CAL from One Computer to Another

2. Obtain the latest service pack for Windows 2000.
