TS server in child domain cannot obtain licenses from parent domai

[Guest houghb]

Parent domain has Windows Server 2003 server std edition.

Child domain 1 has Windows Server 2003 std

Child domain 2 has Windows Server 2003 std 64 bit

 

Not sure if this is a problem with the cal's, or the server(s). We have a

license server sitting in a parent domain, and two different child domains

with terminal servers. The temporary licenses were handed out, but after

adding the cals over a month ago, they are still not being distributed. I

can see the Windows Server 2003 TS per user cal's from the console. When

opening the licensing console from one of the child servers, the server is

discovered, but the activation status is unknown.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thank you.

Hi,

 

From your description it sounds as though you have

purchased Per User TS CALs. This means that your

TS servers should be in Per User licensing mode.

 

Please logon to your terminal servers and make sure they

are set to Per User licensing mode in Terminal Services

Configuration (tscc.msc).

 

After you have completed the above you should be

fine. Please note that Per User TS CALs will not be

issued because they are unmanaged. Windows Server

2008 will add the ability to generate reports on Per User

TS CAL usage.
