RE: [ActiveDir] 2000 Terminal Services Licensing Server and Windo ws Server 2003 TS

[Eric Fleischman]

2003 TS servers need 2003 license servers, however in 2003 a license server need not be on a DC. So you can fire up ts licensing on any 2k03 box in the environment and it can service the 2k03 ts servers no problem. 2k03 ts license servers can also service 2k ts servers, just not the other way around.   ~Eric     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2004 10:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] 2000 Terminal Services Licensing Server and Windo ws Server 2003 TS   As far as I can see - no.... our current Licensing server is a 2000 member server (we're still a NT Domain...) so I don't _think_ there's a requirement for a 2K3 DC... but hopefully the doc's I've just posted will give the answers.....   Jack   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Creamer, Mark Sent: 04 May 2004 16:23 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] 2000 Terminal Services Licensing Server and Windo ws Server 2003 TS Thanks Jack – the article will be much appreciated…I guess if that’s the case, my next question would be do they need to be domain controllers also? I don’t think management is planning on a Win2003 domain structure yet   <mc> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2004 11:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] 2000 Terminal Services Licensing Server and Windo ws Server 2003 TS   Mark,   I've read somewhere recently (although I'm not sure where :-]) that you do require 2003 Licensing servers for 2003 TS.... but 2003 Licensing servers can deal with 2000 TS..... I'll try and track down the article if I can...   Jack    From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Creamer, Mark Sent: 04 May 2004 15:48 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] 2000 Terminal Services Licensing Server and Windows Server 2003 TS I haven’t been able to locate a definitive answer for this yet, so I wanted to make sure I have this right  before I pass on the info to the project manager.   We have no Windows 2003 domain controllers yet, only 2000. However, we are planning to start deploying some Windows 2003 terminal servers. My question is, can the 2003 terminal servers use the current Windows 2000 DC that acts as our TS licensing server to maintain their licenses, or do they require the licensing server to be 2003?   Thanks!   Mark Creamer Systems Engineer Cintas Corporation Honesty and Integrity in Everything We Do
