Terminal server cannot find the terminal server license server
Terminal server cannot find the terminal server license server or Event ID 1010 in the system event log
To troubleshoot this problem, follow these steps:
1. Try to open Terminal Server Licensing. If you are prompted for the name of the license server, discovery is not working. Add the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService\Parameters
Name: DefaultLicenseServer
Data type: REG_SZ
Data value: <ServerName>
<ServerName> is a placeholder for the NetBIOS name or for the IP address of the license server that you want to use. (Do not use \\servername.)
2. Determine whether licensing has been installed in the domain role or in the enterprise role. In this environment, licensing must be in the domain role:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermServLicensing\Parameters\Role
REG_DWORD 0×00000000
0 = Domain Role
1 = Enterprise Role
3. Make sure that the Remote Registry service is enabled on the terminal server license server.
4. Verify the registry key for RestrictAnonymous on the terminal server license server:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA
Value: RestrictAnonymous
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value Data: 0×2 (Hex)
5. If this value is set to 2, follow these steps to verify the Group Policy settings on the terminal server licenses server:
a. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Local Security Policy.
Note If Administrative Tools does not appear in the Programs list, click Start, point to Settings, point to Control Panel, click Administrative Tools, and then click Local Security Policy.
b. Under Security Settings, double-click Local Policies, and then click Security Options.
c. Double-click Additional restrictions for anonymous connections, and then click No access without explicit anonymous permissions under Local policy setting.
Important After this registry key or policy is changed, you must restart the server for changes to take effect.
6. Verify that the admin shares are shared on the terminal server license server:
a. At a command prompt, type net share, and then press ENTER.
b. Make sure that the default shares, such as C$, Admin$, and IPC$, are returned.
7. Verify that File and Printer Sharing is bound to the Network Adapter and that the internal Network Adapter is at the top of the binding order.
8. Test by using the RDP client.
9. Test deleting the whole MSLicensing key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSLicensing
10. Verify the permissions on the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSLicensing
Users must have at least read permissions.
