Checked remote desktop licensing and diagnoser evrything looks good with userbased cal which is having 150 license out of which 80 is issued and 70 is available.

Hi,

Does this happen to a specific group/ user , or all the users?

Any errors from the Event log ?

Any new configurations or updates did you make before the issue happened ?

How often does the issue occurred ?

Thanks
Karlie
