Well, short of upgrading the DC to a 2003 server, I'd make the 2003 TS
server a license server, or I'd set up a 2003 member server to be the
license server. Neither need to be a DC. The DC requirement is if you
need to serve licenses to machines in more than one domain. Sounds like
that isn't your situation.

Ok, so my question is this:
If Windows 2000 is the DC but it cannot issue 2003 TS CALS AND a
TS license server in a 2K domain must be a DC, how would you set this
up?
-------------- Original message --------------
That is correct. A Windows 2000 server cannot issue
Windows 2003 TS CALs. A Windows 2003 licensing server can issue TS CALs
for Windows 2000 and for Windows 2003.
Strictly speaking, you do NOT need to run a Windows 2000
license server on a DC in some situations, but it's generally an
accepted practice to do so.

OK we have a 2K domain, 2 DC's. We also have a
2003 server that we plan on running Terminal Services on. I've read that
the TS Licensing server in a 2K domain must reside on a DC. However,
I've also read that a 2000 server cannot be a TS license server for a
W2K3 box. Can someone enlighten me?
