terminal server licensing issue

[Guest Joe Letter]

I installed a win2k3 terminal server with 10 user cals, activated the server

and installed the client licenses (I installed the ts license server on the

ts server) . I did all this _outside_ our sbs2k3 domain. The server was

working great. I then took the server and joined it to the domain. When I

did this the server started telling me I have a license issue.

Specifically: "No terminal sever license server was found on the network.

This terminal server will stop issuing temporary licenses to clients 120

days...."

 

What can I do to fix this?

 

Thank you,

Joe

Most likely, your 2003 TS cannot automatically discover the TS LS

anymore. You can pont it to the LS in Terminal Services

Configuration - Server settings - Licensing - Preferred Licensing

Server, or in a Group Policy, or by editing the registry.

I followed the steps to modify the registry to point the ts to look at

itself for the tsls and it worked great!

 

Thanks a billion!

Joe.
