[THIN] Re: Confused about TS License server

Not so.  I am running TS Licensing on all my W2K servers and none of them
are domain controllers and all servers are in an NT4 domain.  The TS
License server came off of the W2K CD.  My servers are at SP2 (some at
SP3).

I know MS makes this claim and in fact, I ran into an error msg the other
day that said the same thing.  My error turned out to be that I had no IP
address.  As soon as I gave it one, the problem went away.

If the workstations are running W2K Pro, or higher, then they may be
getting around the license issue that way since they come with a built in
CALs.

What type of domain are they Win2k? or NT 4.0?

Win2k, TS license service must be installed to a win2k DC. No way around
it.=20

NT 4.0, TS license service must be installed to any available win2k
server. Can be the TS servers, or any other win2k server that's within
the same domain.=20
