Guest JIm T Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Hi folks, I have a Server 2003 R2 running terminal server. I need to change it from workgroup to a new AD domain. Will the TS licenses need to be reestablished and if I cannot find my original license info will that present a problem ?
Guest Patrick Rouse Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 RE: move terminal server from workgroup to ad Where is your TSLS currently installed? If you can't find your original license info, I'd recommend that you call the Microsoft Clearinghouse before you do the migration. One problem you are definitely going to have is with User Profiles, which will be recreated from the default user profile the first time users logon, if you don't migrature user's settings. I would highly recommend that you completely test this before just trying and hoping for the best. You could do this in Virtual PC, Hyper-V, Virtual Server, Vmware Workstation.... -- Patrick C.

Guest JIm T Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 RE: move terminal server from workgroup to ad Patrick, Thank you for your response, I will contact MS CLH. As my TSLS is on the same server as TS. The testing is a fine idea. As it turns out I was able to create the new Forest / domain on the new server and moved the DHCP and DNS off of the TS, leaving the TS running as it is. I still would lke to upgrade this TS as a member server this is where the testing will be crucial. Is there a paper on migrating the users from their workgroup accts to a new domain acct? Again thanks much for the help. Jim "Patrick Rouse" wrote: > Where is your TSLS currently installed?
