Robert,
The reghack you're looking for is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermServLicensing
Modify the ImagePath value to "%SystemRoot%\System32\lserver.exe -nodc"
(without the quotation marks), and then quit Registry Editor.
Met vriendelijke groeten / With kind regards

According to MS, you cannot use a 2000 server to hand out license to 2003
TS's. You can use a 2003 License server to hand out licenses to 2000 TS's.
In 2000 the license server had to be a DC (although I have seen a reg hack
somewhere, didn't bookmark it, that was supposed to be able to get around
that). 2003 the license server can be on any member server.
I have a 2000 domain that will have 2003 TS in it. Everything that I have
searched and asked about it leads me to believe that I can use the 2003
servers in a 2000 domain and place the 2003 license server on a 2003 box. I
only have 2003 TS's and 2000 DC. I have seen email and posts from people
who say this is the way they have it setup and it works.
Does anyone have evidence that it does not work?

Let me get this straight...you are saying that if he has other 2000 Terminal
Servers on the domain that he can make a member 2003 server the Licensing
server to control licensing for 2000 TS's? And this will work?

3rd option: install the 2003 licensing server on the 2003 TS itself. 4th
option: install the 2003 licensing server on any 2003 machine and point the
TSs to there.

Hmm, so if I'm understanding this correctly my 2 options are 1. upgrade the
PDC to 2003 and install the licensing server on it. 2. Downgrade the
terminal server to 2000 and install the licensing server on the PDC. both
options SUCK! I've always said that licensing just screws over the honest
people.
Can you still buy windows 2000 server?
