Restored a VMWare Virtual machine from backup to ESXi and renamed the PC and now cannot Remote desktop
I restored a VMWare Virtual machine from backup to ESXi and renamed the PC and now cannot RDP into the server. I get the following error message.
I also sometimes get:
The server is a Terminal Server which is used in a Citrix farm. I restored to save on the massive effort of rebuilding. Also, we do have an existing licensing server with plenty of licenses.
The remote session was disconnected because there are no Terminal Server license servers available to provide a license. Please contact the server administrator.
I also sometimes get:
The remote computer disconnected the session because of an error in the licensing protocol. Please try connecting the the remote computer again or contact your server administrator

Have you reviewed the Windows event logs to see if you're getting any authentication or service errors or warnings? That's where I'd check first...
your license server is currently working?
What exactly did you restore and rename? A PC or the TS Server?
Either way if you restore from a VM of another machine and then rename it to use as a DIFFERENT machine you should sysprep it. If only life was that simple.....
