There are also two regedits that can be done to avoin installing a W2K3
license service. The regedits turn of the license service discovery process
and specify the default license server.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermServLicensing
Modify the ImagePath value to "%SystemRoot%\System32\lserver.exe -nodc"
(without the quotation marks.
You will also need to add the following key to the Terminal Server (which is
the same box):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService\Parameters
Add the following value:
"Name": "DefaultLicenseServer" (without the quotation marks)
"Data type": REG_SZ
"Data value": "ServerName" (without the quotation marks)
Substitute the NetBIOS name of the appropriate license server for
<ServerName>. If the license server is located on a remote subnet, make sure
the Terminal Services-based computer can resolve the NetBIOS name."
In this setup, the Terminal Server and the Terminal Services Licensing are
on the same W2K server.
Note: I have a 50% success with this. One forest, this works, the other
generates some errors on the TS server, but my users are not complaining so
I think the errors may be false.
