Rebuilding server

[Guest bstrum]

I have a terminal server that had a 5 pack license. This server failed on me

and so I need to rebuild it from scratch. If I have the license code, how do

I move this license to the new server. Keep in mind, I am unable to

deactivate the old server because it is beyond repair.

 

Thank you,

Re: Rebuilding server

 

You are probably talking about "normal" CALs as opposed to TS-CALs.

The standard edition of Windows Server 2003 comes with 5 "normal" CALs

that allow 5 client machines to connect to the server via SMB. TS-

CALs, on the other hand, govern which clients can connect to the

server via RDP.

 

Terminal servers typically are not used as file/print servers and thus

only need TS-CALs. As those are store on the TS licensing server and

not on the terminal server itself, there is nothing you have to do.

 

I hope this helps.

I am looking to activate my TS-CALs (5 User CALs). When I try to activate

them on the new server, I get a message saying that they have already been

activated. I assume I need to notify Microsoft that the original server has

been hosed. Does anyone know who to email or who to call and if so, what

address/phone number?

You have to call the Clearinghouse. They will issue you a new

license pack for installation on your new TS Licensing Server.

Clearinghouse

If your old, crashed LS was an Enterprise LS, you might also have

to remove it manually from AD. Check this:

Re: Rebuilding server

 

Call the Microsoft Clearinghouse, they are able to reset the TS-CALs.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291795 tells you how to find the phone

number you need.
