Doing further research will show basically that the MS Licensing service is basically a flop and that in Windows 2003 it is disabled by default and will not be included in Windows Vista. Translation, disable on all servers and error goes away.

Source: LicenseService Event ID: 213 Description: Replication of license information failed because the License Logging Service on server \\ASNMAIL could not be contacted. I read Microsoft's Q198132 which only covers Windows 2000 and NT servers and explains it's an RPC issue. I am wondering if there is a fix for this? Regards, Andrew
