old users taking up Windows and Exchange licenses

[Guest]

I recently migrated a 2000 network from a child domain to its own forest root
and added a Windows 2003 Domain Controller. In addition, the domain name was
changed. The domain has a total of 8 servers, 2 of which are Windows 2003.
Here is the breakdown:

1 Windows 2003 Domain Controller
1 Windows 2000 Domain Controller
1 Windows 2003 Exchange server (Running Exchange 2003)
1 Windows 2000 SQL server
2 Windows 2000 Citrix servers
1 Windows 2000 File and Print server
1 Windows 2000 Server running web monitoring software

On the Windows 2000 domain controller, I keep getting Licensing errors. In
checking license manager I am finding that users accounts from the former
parent domain prior to the migration are showing as holding licenses. In
addition, license manager is showing that user accounts from the old domain
are holding licenses as well. I keep revoking those licenses, but they keep
appearing again. How do I remove those so they will not appear again?

Best idea: stop & disable the license logging service on all DCs. It is
buggy and isn't mandatory. Keep track of your licenses manually.

Note: I'm not sure whether SQL licensing depends on this - so check before
doing so.

Thanks. I will do that on the DC that is causing me problems
