I have searched through the first couple of hundred hits on this topic
on the Thin List archive and cant find the answers, so hopefully
someone here can help.
We have a requirement to manage all TS CALS on one pair of W2K3
servers, which will be located at a pair of Data Centres in the Head
Office. We have multiple untrusted AD (W2K & W2K3) Domains and
several Citrix Farms all connected via various quality WAN links. The
TS servers will have the reg key set which points to the License
Server.
We were previously able to use a W2K License Server to issue TS CALs
to clients in multiple untrusted AD Domains. In initial testing with
the W2K3 License Server, we have found that it is no longer issuing
license across untrusted Domains. There is a KB article that pretty
much suggest (in a little foot note) that you should have trusted
Domains for this to work on W2K3.
Can anyone confirm that for a W2K3 License Server to issue TS CALs to
W2K TS clients on another Domain, do you need to have these 2 Domains
Trusted? If the Trust is required will it work as an Inter Forest
Trust and can it just be in one direction?
Secondly are there any known logon latency issues with having your
W2K3 TS Licensing Server located at the far end of a WAN link from
your client W2K TS? For some reason I have this nagging thought that
when a user logs into a remote W2K TS and obtains a license from the
Licencing server located a couple of thousand Km away that there will
be added delay to the logon process. And if this is the case, will
the delay still occur even after the client has received a permanent
CAL?
