2003 termincal server with remote desktop

[Guest]

It was my understanding that running 2003 terminal services that the
administrator account could access the server via TS even after the 120 grace
period for maintenance. Any reason why I get you do not have permission to
logon? Do you have to purchase a TS CAL for this? thanks.

When you install Terminal Services (which implies in Application
Server mode), you must have a TS CAL for every connection.

If you only need Remote Desktop for Administration, just uninstall
Terminal Services alltogether and enable Remote Desktop, in System -
properties - Remote.
