Thanks, I'll take a look at the MS site again. It is more the changes in admin
concepts than the new client functionality that I am wanting to understand

You've missed quite a bit actually.
Just to clarify one thing though, license servers have never talked to other
license servers. Win2k3 license servers can be on any member server as well.
I have found that putting it on a DC doesn't guarantee discovery. You'll still
want to set the registry key. If you go out to
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2003 there will be some papers there that
discuss the difference between Win2k and Win2k3 (things like client drive
mappings, universal print drivers (first version in SP1), etc).

I have been running terminal services and Citrix in Win2000 environments but am
now thinking about Windows 2003. Could anyone confirm/correct me on the key
differences I have read regarding terminal services on Win2003. And is there
anything else important I've missed?
All clients (not just downlevel) need a TS CAL to connect to Win 2003 TS server
There are device TS CALS and user TS CALS. There is currently no method of
assigning a TS PerUser CAL to a particular user account.
Win2003 TS Licensing servers do not talk to Win2000 TS Licensing servers.
A Win2003 TS will need a Win2003 TS Licensing server. Recommend installing on
domain controllers (for automatic discovery)
A Win2003 terminal server will allow clients to connect without a license token
for 120 days or until the license server issues a license through the terminal
server before it requires communication with a licensing server. This period
begins the first time someone connects to the server via terminal services.
Temporary licences work for 90 days.
Permanent licences last for 52-89 days. A client will begin a new license
request 7 days prior to the license expiration date.
Thanks
Steve
