Re: Configuring Single Termainal Services License Server for Domain

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

So this is weird: the DC is running Windows 2000 and the Windows 2003
client works fine. That seems to contradict your suggestion below.

The licensing server refuses to give the Windows 2000 client a license.

How do get access to a debug log or other information that tells me why the
license server is unable to give the client its license? Other Windows
2000 clients work.

I"ll go through the other documents this week.

If you have both 2003 and 2000 TS, the TSLS must be on a 2003 server.
There
are resource kit utilities to query the TSLS, i.e. lsview.exe and
lsreport.exe. You can point the TS to the TSLS via registry edit, however
if
the TSLS is on a DC, it will be located automatically.
