w2k3?? TS Questions TSADMIN You could not be authenticated on this

[Guest]

Not sure where the w2k3 discussion group is? Anyways.
We have a bunch (20) w2k3 TS.
I can RDP to them fine.
Problem is when I try to use TSADMIN to get to some of them I get "You could
not be authenticated on this server". I am admin on all the servers. I
shows the list of connections.

I searched the web and could not find anything that fixed the problem.

Thanks for any suggestions.

The main Terminal Services newsgroup is
microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services (not OS-specific anymore).

Did you logon with a local Administrator account? If so, use a Domain
Administrator account.

I have an admin id. It is in the local admin groups on the boxes and also
has some admin rights on the domain. I can get on 95% of the boxes. So the
id must have the correct rights.

So what is different on the servers which you can't connect to?
Anything the in the EventLog on those servers?

That is the question isn't it.
As far as I can tell they are the same. Nothing in the event logs.

I've found some identical posts. Most issues are caused by using a
non-Administrator account, but some others indicate that this issue
can also be caused by a DNS problem.
Can you compare the DNS records for these servers with those that do
work?
If that doesn't solve the problem, I think I would remove the server
from the domain and then join the domain again.

Thanks, I will. Any chance you can tell me how to get my hands on the "DNS
Records"

I am assuming that you run a DNS server. That's where you would check
the information that has been stored for each server.

In my case, I found the Remote Regisry Service disabled and once I turned that on - on the remote server - I no longer get the error in TSADMIN.
