Can you rename a licensing and terminal server?

[Guest gulfstrum]

Can you change the computer name of a licensing server or will the entire

system need to be rebuilt? We recently came up with a new naming standard

and I need to rename both our terminal and licensing servers.

 

Thanks for any help or KB articles!!

I assume that your servers are running Windows 2003, is that correct?

 

Should not be a big problem.

The only thing you will have to check is if the Licensing Server

discovery on the TS is relying on the automatic discovery, in which

case you don't have to do anything at all, or if you have overridden

the automatic discovery. Check in Terminal Services Configuration.
