Can't find terminal licensing server

[shipmate]

My Win2k terminal server can't seem to find the terminal licensing server. When I'm on my TS server, and open "Terminal server licensing", I get the error: Windows cannot connect to a licensing server

From other machines I can connect and see the licensing server; why can't this one? The licensing server is not activated yet, and it is also a RRAS server with multiple IP addresses (I've tried to connect using all of them). Licensing server is a Win2k DC, no log errors (on either server), services started, etc.

The TS server and licensing server can ping each other, tracert, etc. Everything seems just fine.....any suggestions?? help!

This is a common problem especially in larger environments. Luckily, you can hard code the license server address on your TS server. This is a simple registry edit.

Here is the information:

Thank you for the links;

I figured out the problem; I'm was logging in as a local admin.

As soon as I logged in as the domain admin, it was able to connect to the licensing server. It makes sense, the licensing server is on a DC, but I was only logging in locally.

Thanks for the help;

P.S. If your looking for an experienced admin, drop me a line at greyhawke99@yahoo.com
