sorry to reply to my own email- is the License server used by Windows to track cals, the same one that is used for terminal services app mode?
i ask these questions because i demoted a dc that happened to be a license server and about 3 weeks later i got event id 213 errors in my app log on my pdc/rid/infra master and some users were unable to log into the domain. in ad sites and services, the old dc is still listed with no ntds object(i assume its still ther because a devloper installed msmq for AD and never uninstalled it). i demoted it clean using dcpromo. no errors. is the licensing server always a dc by default? do the other dc's cache license info for a period of time so things function for awhile even if they don't communicate with the master license server? and if so, what is the time period? i apologize for all the questions but i can't seem to find much in depth info on this service from MS or google. thanks Kern, Tom wrote: > If I'm using the license service to keep track of licenses and i go > over the alloted amount, will windows DC's prvent users from logging > into the domain? thanks > List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx > List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx > List archive: > http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
