TS licensing

[Henry]

Hi,

I have the folowing scenario:

I installed the Terminal Server Licensing in a W2003 server that is member
of a domain, and the Terminal Services in a isolate W2000 server. What I
need to do to
clients of Terminal Server to obtain a license from Licensing Server?

By "isolate", do you mean in a workgroup? If so, you can point the
TS to the LS:

239107 - Establishing Preferred Windows 2000 Terminal Services
License Server
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=239107

In a W2K domain, the LS must be running on a Domain Controller.

Thanks for the article.

Yes, "isolate" means it is in a workgroup, and the Licensing Server is a
server member of a domain. I don't like TS users (external users) to access
the internal domain.

TS users need some sort of authentication in the LS?

No, the users never communicate with the LS. The only
communication is between the TS and the LS and between the TS and
the users. Have you made the registry change? Does it work now?
If not, can you post the eventIDs that you see in the EventLog on
the TS?

Thanks for the answer.

I made the registry change, but I was unable to see if it work. I have LS
instaled on the same machine of TS too, supplying clients with temporary
licenses. Now it was bought a Win2003 and it came with TS licenses, and I
installed it in another server, but I dont't like TS instaled on it, only
LS, it has databases on it. The temporary licenses is almost dying...

Henry, I don't fully understand your setup. Could you supply this
information:
As a side note: Windows 2003 (OEM version) ususally comes with 5
CALs, but very seldom with TS CALs. Or did you specifically order
them?
Can you post here what you see (type of licenses - number -
available - issued) when you start the TS Licensing Manager?
