Terminal Server Licensing Service in SBS2003 environment

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Good afternoon!

I have not ever done what we are going to do on Thursday so I want to make
sure that I have my ducks in a row.

We inherited this environment recently.....

SBS2003 environment: single server, multiple physical locations. The
SBS2003 Server is the only server in that forest.

The previous consultant placed a TS (on a Domain Controller...eeh gads!) in
another forest and created the identical user accounts on that TS box as
exist in the SBS2003 domain.

Well, we are going to wipe that TS Server, install WIN2003 SP2, join it to
the SBS2003 Domain as a member server, install TS in application mode and
then install the applications.

My question is this: the licensing server is currently the machine that we
are going to wipe. How do I transfer the license from that machine to the
SBS2003. I mean, installing TSLS and going through the process on a fresh
install is a piece of cake. I have done it many times. I have never had to
"transfer".

I want to avoid the situation where users can no longer access the terminal
server!

Thanks,

Cary
