I've been running a Windows Server 2000 as a DC and also as the TS
Licensing server. Let's call it Server2000. I now installed a new
server, call it Server2003, running Windows Server 2003. After I was
satisfied that the replication of the AD was complete, I demoted the
Server2000. I installed a new TS licensing on the new Server2003. TS
in app mode is running on another member server but also Windows 2003
Server. I called MS to have my licenses reissued but user instead of
device.

Now the problem:

If I turn off Server2000, when I try to connect from a client, it
takes about 50 sec to connect. If I leave Server2000 up, it takes
about 3 sec to connect. The only warning I get in the event log of
Server2003 is this:

TermServLicensing Event ID 21
"The Terminal Server Licensing server DBRDC has no permanent licenses
for product 'Windows Server 2003 - Terminal Server Per Device CAL
Token'. Use Terminal Server Licensing administrative tool to register
more licenses."

The TS Licensing has been removed from Server2000.

I tried the DefaultLicenseServer in the TS app server registry as in
article 239107, with no results.

Thanks,
Marc
 
Windows 2000 TSCALs are not compatible with Windows 2003
TSCALs, and thus, you can't install 2000 TSCALs on a 2003
license server.
