Sorry it was late and I wasn't very clear.

 

I have 2 x Windows 2000 terminal servers running Presentation Server 3.
They are now members of a 2003 domain.

 

From what I can tell I will need to install a 2003 terminal server
licensing server and forget about the old 2000 licensing server.

Hi James,

 

You need a 2003 TS Licensing server for 2003 TS systems. It can be a
member server rather than a DC.

 

The DefaultLicenseServer value is for Windows 2000, and 2003 is
different and uses a LicesServers key with Server name keys under it.
Check out the Microsoft technote 279561 at:

For the ultimate description of TS licensing see Brian Madden's article:

Or if you want a nice, simple explanation:

Hi All,

 

I have had a Citrix Presentation 3 farm running on Win2K boxes in an NT
domain for a while.  Today I have moved these boxes to a 2003 domain and
made them members of it.

 

The Terminal Server Licensing server (also a Win2K server) was moved to
the same subnet as the Citrix Farm but is now just a member of a
workgroup as the licensing server service would not start if the server
was a member of the 2003 domain.

 

I can't get the Terminal Servers to find the Terminal Server licensing
server.  They can resolve the NETBIOS name and I have specified the
Licensing Server via the DefalultLicenseServer reg key but it still
doesn't work.

 

It's been a very long day and even longer week and my brain is about to
give up.  Help!

 

Thanks,

 

James.
