Licensing Server

[Guest]

Not sure where to ask this question... thanks in advance for reading.

I recently removed a dc server from our environment using dcpromo (it was
win 2k server). Now I have 2 win2k3 servers in the environement (both DCs)
and they produce the following event in the log

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: LicenseService
Event Category: None
Event ID: 213
Date: 29/11/2004
Time: 11:48:20 AM
User: N/A
Computer: DC1
Description:
Replication of license information failed because the License Logging
Service on server OLD_REMOVED_DC could not be contacted.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Data:
0000: 17 00 02 c0 ...À


Of course, I replaced the actual server name with OLD_REMOVED_DC.

How can I make the two new servers stop looking for the old one for
licensing replication?

Thanks in advance!

You need at least one license server PER site.

By default the first DC is a license server but
a non-DC can also be a license server.

This article should get you started:

And this Google search should find you more info:

[ "license server" site site:microsoft.com adding ]

you could simply disable the license logging service on all your servers.
I guarantee the events will go away
