after domain upgrade we can not connect in Admin mode

Last week we upgraded our Domain from NT 4.0 to Windows 2003. And since we
did, just about all our workstations (2000 & XP) can not connect to any of
our 2003 and 2000 servers in Administration mode. As soon as you hit connect
using XP's RDP client it comes back with; "no Terminal Server License
Servers available to provide a license." In 2003 TS do you have to run a TS
license server for Admin mode?

thanks

No, not for Remote Desktop for Administration mode.

But if you install Terminal Services on a Windows 2003 server, it
implies "Application Server" mode, which requires a TS Licensing
Server and TS CALs.

What you have to do is to completely uninstall Terminal Services and
then enable Remote Desktop for Administration, in Control Panel -
System - Remote (just like you do on XP).
