Hi guys,

First post to the thin lists so go easy on me! :)

Have a question regards issuing TS licenses and the impact of the DFL of the
domain.

Currently our domain functional level is at Windows 2000 Native. All our TS
servers are 2000 and clients are a mix of 2000 and XP.

It's looks as though we're going to be forced to deploy some 2003 TS servers
in the near future so I'm looking at what we'll need to do in order to issue
2003 TSCALs? I'm assuming that the TS License server will have to be server
2003 but I'm not sure if the fact that we run a 2000 native DFL will make
any difference?

In short, can we issue Server 2003 TSCALs from a domain with a functional
level of Windows 2000 Native or would be have to deploy a 2003 DC and
upgrade it to 2003 interim DFL first?

Many thanks

Chris.
