Windows 2003 Terminal licensing server

[Guest John]

According to

http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/22c3e47a-f17e-47d4-93d9-40e8c28c77851033.mspx?mfr=true

>If you are installing a Domain license server, the computer on which you install the license server must be a domain controller for it to be automatically discovered by terminal servers that communicate with it.

 

What's the better way to install windows 2003 ts licensing server on a ts

server or domain controller? domain or enterprise type?

 

thank you.

It really doesn't matter much, since the recommendation is anyhow not

to rely on automatic discovery, but to configure a preferred TS

Licensing Server. That's easiest done in a Group Policy.

 

Unless you have a very large user population, the TS Licensing

Service doesn't put a severe strain on the server. I'd install it on

a DC, I like my Terminal Servers to be just that.
