Terminal Server Licensing Service in SBS2003 environment

[Guest Cary W. Shultz]

Good afternoon!

 

I have not ever done what we are going to do on Thursday so I want to make

sure that I have my ducks in a row.

 

We inherited this environment recently.....

 

SBS2003 environment: single server, multiple physical locations. The

SBS2003 Server is the only server in that forest.

 

The previous consultant placed a TS (on a Domain Controller...eeh gads!) in

another forest and created the identical user accounts on that TS box as

exist in the SBS2003 domain.

 

Well, we are going to wipe that TS Server, install WIN2003 SP2, join it to

the SBS2003 Domain as a member server, install TS in application mode and

then install the applications.

 

My question is this: the licensing server is currently the machine that we

are going to wipe. How do I transfer the license from that machine to the

SBS2003. I mean, installing TSLS and going through the process on a fresh

install is a piece of cake. I have done it many times. I have never had to

"transfer".

 

I want to avoid the situation where users can no longer access the terminal

server!

 

Thanks,

 

Cary

Re: Terminal Server Licensing Service in SBS2003 environment

 

Hi Cary,

from

http://ts.veranoest.net/ts_faq_licensing.htm#move_LS

 

Q: How do I move my TS licenses to a new TS Licensing Server?

 

A: Here are the steps to move your TS CALs from one TS Licensing

Server to another:

 

1. install the Terminal Server Licensing component on the

new server

2. activate the TS Licensing Server on the new server

3. install your TS CALs on the new server. Since licenses

cannot be installed more than once, you will have to call

the Microsoft Clearinghouse. They will re-issue your

licenses for installation on the new server.

* make sure that you have all the paperwork for the licenses

at hand (purchase contracts, licensing agreements, etc)

* start the Terminal Services Licensing tool, right-click

the server, choose Properties, choose "Telephone" on the

"Connection Metod" tab, choose your country or region,

click "OK".

Right-click the server again, choose "Install licenses",

click "Next".

* call the regional Clearinghouse telephone number; they

will guide you through the rest of the installation

process

4. verify that your Terminal Server(s) can locate the new

TS Licensing Server

5. deactivate the TS Licensing Server on the old server

and uninstall it

 

The above list assumes installation on a new, separate server.

Since you are going to wipe the original server, you cannot perform

them in the exact order as above. Make sure that you have the

paperwork, and make sure that you deactivate and uninstall the old

TS Licensing Server, to fully remove it from the forest. Otherwise

it will still be listed in the AD and might cause a problem if a

new TSLS is configured in the future in that forest.

Vera,

 

Thanks! I knew to look at your web site (it has saved my butt more than

once!) but I have simply been swamped with a ton of projects this week (yes,

it is only Monday!).

 

Thanks,

 

Cary

Re: Terminal Server Licensing Service in SBS2003 environment

 

Hi. we have just depleyed a SBS2003 R2 SP2 Server (as domain controler) and

now want to add a Terminal server.

I understand that I need an additional server running Win 2003 Std. and that

I need to buy TS licenses as well.

 

Can you clarify for me which server I ned to install the licenses on, is it

the SBS2003 or the 2003 Std server that will actualy perform the TS function.

 

Thanks

Dave

Re: Terminal Server Licensing Service in SBS2003 environment

 

The Terminal Services role must be installed on the Windows 2003

member server, the Terminal Services Licensing Service can be

installed on either one of them. I would install it on your SBS2003

Domain Controller, where it will be automatically discovered by the

Terminal Server running on the member server, but you could also

install it on the Terminal Server itself.
