Morning All --
I am over the next few months replacing hardware and separating server roles. Those who have good memories will probably recall from previous posts that I have a Win 2k3 Standard Ed Server (not R2), that is a DC, a GC, Exchange 2k3, print server, file server, DNS server and also its a licensing server for not only AD but also for my TS (2k3)
Prior to coming to this organization, it was the ONLY DC in the mix.
I have two other DCs in the mix now and have off loaded printing to them, both are also handlign DNS and I'm moving DHCP pretty soon (not an urgent priority), until I replace the hardware its stuck holding files (waiting for new budget year then will get a dedicated file server). I'm planning to replace the physical box later this year since it goes out of warranty later this year and I can't extend it any more and when I do that I'll upgrade to Exchange 2007 on its own machine.
But my question is HOW do I MOVE the Terminal Server Licensing system to another server? I have thought about just installing the service on another machine and setting everything up but one very CRITICAL flaw with this plan is that while I am very detailed about license management and knowing where everything is they do not have the CAL pack for 40 licenses that they purchased. The reseller they bought it from (who seems to have a copy of everything else) says they don't have it.
Any thoughts?????
