Windows XP remote desktop to Win2K Terminal Server

Can I use windows XP remote desktop client to connect to Windows 2000 Terminal Server?

 

just a thought...

I haven't messed with the 'remote' program in XP, but don't you have to install a remote access application so XP can access W2k (or other OS)? It's available to download from Microsoft HERE .

There was a change in the certificates that are used by the Microsoft Clearinghouse to authorize Terminal Services Licensing servers so to access using XP you need to make the following changes.


WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system.

To resolve this problem, follow the steps in the following section on the affected Windows 2000-based Terminal Services servers and the Windows XP-based clients.

On the Terminal Services Server

1. Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe or Regedt32.exe).
2. Locate and then click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService\Parameters
3. In this registry key, delete the following values:
Certificate
X 509 Certificate
X 509 Certificate ID
4. Quit Registry Editor, and then restart the server.

On the Windows XP-Based Client
1. Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
2. Locate and then click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSLicensing
3. Delete the whole MSLicensing key from the registry.
4. Quit Registry Editor.
5. Connect to the Terminal Services server.

NOTE: If these steps do no resolve the problem, you must deactivate and then reactivate the Terminal Services Licensing server. To do so, call the Microsoft Clearinghouse at 1-888-571-2048.
