[THIN] Re: TS Licensing Upgrade

Right now all of the TS servers are 2000 SP4, but obviously anything new
will be 2003 or above.  Every client I've looked at so far still says it
got it's license from my old licensing server and in the licensing
manager the new server has not issued any licenses.

I'm just wondering if I missed a step or something.  My old server is
deactivated, do I need to uninstall it?

Thanks,

George

Just out of curiosity, what OS do your TS servers run?

The TS servers do an AD lookup to find out where the TS license server
is.
Run a utililty called LSVIEW to do the lookup.If it's not part of the
OS, it may be part of the resource kit.  It should come back with the
name of the license server and the type (domain, enterprise, etc).  If
it can't find any, you may need to edit come objects in AD.  I had to do
this when I upgraded to 2003.  It's been so long that I don't remember
where in AD to go, but I found the info on an MS technet article.
Someone on this list also gave me the info so you may be able to search
the list archives for it.

A short while ago I moved our TS Licensing server from a 2000 SP4 domain
controller to a 2003 SP1 member server.  I worked on the phone with
Microsoft and everything seemed to activate just fine, I have the
unlimited "Existing Windows 2000 Server" CALs and 1400 Windows 2000
server CALs.  However, it doesn't seem to be issueing any licenses.  I
read the following in a white paper, am I missing a step, I'm not sure
what they mean by that step.




......
3.           Ensure that the new license server is discoverable by your
terminal servers. For example, if you previously configured your
terminal servers to request tokens from the old license server, you need
to modify them to request tokens from the new license server.
