We use Win2K TS with Citrix clients at work.  I use it to get access to a
Win2k desktop on my Linux workstation for the few jobs this is needed for.

As one of them is the timesheet system I unfortunately need to access it
everyday.

The server box is _forever_ failing to give me a valid login as it can't
seem to count the number of licences that it has active.  When arrive at
work in the morning I wonder if Citrix will let me in today.

Sometimes I'll be only person trying to login & it'll claim to have
exhauted all of the licences.  Sometimes resetting the TS ports helps,
sometimes it doesn't.  A reboot[1] of the Win2K server always fixes the
problem.

[1] Typical windows.

I have been very disappointed by the combination of TS & Citrix (actually
I think the problem is more TS than Citrix :)  I'd be really happy with
the product if only it would allow me in when I legitimately have a
licence.

I think the idea is great but the implementation leaves something to be
desired (maybe they just don't talk together too well vis-a-vis licencing
:)

I'm going to checkout the package Ewan suggested.
