Event ID 74 — Terminal Services Per User Client Access License Tracking and Reporting

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

In Windows Server 2008, you can use the TS Licensing Manager tool to create (generate) reports to track the Terminal Services Per User client access licenses (TS Per User CALs) that have been issued by a Terminal Services license server. TS Per User CAL tracking and reporting is supported only in domain-joined scenarios because the information about the TS Per User CAL that has been issued to a user is stored as part of the user account in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).

For TS Per User CAL tracking and reporting to work, the computer account for the license server must be a member of the Terminal Server License Servers group in AD DS. If the license server is installed on a domain controller, the Network Service account must also be a member of the Terminal Server License Servers group.
