Delegation of authority to terminal server licensing

[Paulk]

After doing the prerequisite searching I have come up
with nothing. Hope someone here can help.

We are in the middle of an AD migration from NT4. Just
activated the TS and installed licences. All is good!

Question: how do I properly delegate authority in Active
Directory to give a user rights to the Terminal Server
Licensing Server to install licenses?

One MS article mentions delegating authority, but not
what changes to make (sigh - thanks!)

Making them a member of Domain Admins is not an answer

Thanks!

I do not understand this question:

Are you talking about a user acutally taking a license? You don't have to do
this it happens automatically. If permanant licenses are not being issued to
clients it isn't because of this. What is the exact problem you are having?

You said in your post that you had already activated the TS and installed
the licences. Is this the "install licenses" method that you want to
delegate to someone?
