Yay, that's great news.

Yikes! 2003. Ok, that may be where the problems are. This page gives some information about what you need to do: Deploy volume activation of Office 2010 Section: "To activate an Office 2010 KMS host on Windows Server 2003"

Ok, what type of KMS key are you using and what is your server OS?

Hmm, shouldn't really. So, you've run: slmgr.vbs /ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx on that server - which Office KMS Key did you use? Is the server Server 2008 R2 Standard or Enterprise? When you installed the key as above you should have seen a message like: Microsoft ® Windows Script Host Version 5.8 Copyright © Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Installed product key xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx successfully Then after that you needed to activate it using: cscript slmgr.vbs -ato bfe7a195-4f8f-4f0b-a622-cf13c7d16864 After that, I think there is nothing else to do apart from perhaps restart the service using: net stop sppsvc && net start sppsvc

Ah, ok, it doesn't think that it is the KMS server for Office 2010 then. When you look in DNS if you go to: Forward Lookup Zones_tcp You should see an entry like: _VLMCS and it should show your KMS server. There should only be one _VLMCS entry as well. Just have a quick look to see if that is how your DNS is set up. Cheers.

Sorry, that was just a 'for instance'. To show your current status, what does this output? cscript slmgr.vbs -dli bfe7a195-4f8f-4f0b-a622-cf13c7d16864 Mine gives an output like this: Microsoft ® Windows Script Host Version 5.8 Copyright © Microsoft Corporation.

Hi, are you using that annoying GUID in every command? So, for every command that you would normally use for Server or Windows 7, you use the same commands but with bfe7a195-4f8f-4f0b-a622-cf13c7d16864 at the end? i.e. cscript slmgr.vbs /dti bfe7a195-4f8f-4f0b-a622-cf13c7d16864 instead of cscript slmgr.vbs /dti

Unfortunately this is looking like one of those "unfixable" problems. Time to start some rebuilds I think... Cheers.

Hi Glennda - yup, set to never and a RSOP on the faulty user shows that those limits are not set for the user or the computer at the time.

No matter what they are doing. Three minutes in they get a message that they will be logged off in 2 minutes time and there is nothing they can do about it.

Hi guys, I've got a fault in a school that I've posted over on serverfault but not getting very far: Terminal server logs off users after 5 minutes - Server Fault Perhaps some of you have come across the problem already. The basics are that we have mixed 2003 and 2008 terminal servers. The 2003 servers are fine, but 2008 always kick off users after 5 minutes. We have removed mandatory profiles in case the v2 profiles were at the root of it, but also it gave quicker logons. I originally thought that this happened for staff only, but we've since found a domain admin with the same problem. Here is how the sessions look while a staff member is logging on: No "errors" as such, just information that the user is being logged off. No event log events created on the host at all. Anyone here had a similar problem? Thanks

How did you build the WinPE disk, was it through MDT?

Agree with that - you need to make the jump to MDT. It'll make your life so muh easier.
