In order to reduce the polling needed to find TS Licensing Servers, MS really changed the behavior in 2003--not to mention the additional licensing types and options. (At least, that's what they told us.) It's really confusing now so do study carefully the docs Robert referenced.

If the Terminal Services Licensing Server is installed on Windows 2000, it MUST be on a Domain Controller (if you think there is a way to alter this that IS SUPPORTED by Microsoft Dev, please reply to me offline as I'd be interested in hearing your opinion). Yes, you can bypass the discovery process by modifying the registry value mentioned in the following article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q239107 Here's a little snippet from that article: To select a specific license server, locate the following key in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService\Paramet ers Add the following value: Name: DefaultLicenseServer Data type: REG_SZ Data value: ServerName Substitute the NetBIOS name of the appropriate license server for ServerName. If the license server is located on a remote subnet, make sure the Terminal Services-based computer can resolve the NetBIOS name. If the Terminal Services Licensing Server is installed on Windows Server 2003, then it CAN be on a member server. Again, to over-ride the discovery process by modifying the registry as mentioned in the following article(pay attention to the difference as you are adding keys here instead of values): http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/library/S erverHelp/46844a6e-386f-4ce3-98e5-d5377b5d6ba9.mspx Here is a snipped from that article: Using the registry 1.Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK. 2.Locate, and then click, the following key in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService\Paramet ers 3.On the Edit menu, point to New, click Key, and then type LicenseServers to name the new key. 4.Locate, and then click, the following key in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService\Paramet ers\LicenseServers 5.On the Edit menu, point to New, click Key, and then type ServerName where ServerName is the NetBIOS name of the license server that you want to use, and then press ENTER. The new key name can be any of the following designations that represent the license server: * The NetBIOS name of the server * The fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server * The IP address of the server 6.Restart your computer So to sum it up...if the Terminal Services Licensing Server is 2000, must be on DC. If it's on 2003, can be member server. Have a great day!
