Discussion:
New 03 TS server not being seen on network

I have had a 2000 TS running but am upgrading to 03 servers and needed
RDP. I installed TS licensing and I installed 5 CALs on an 03
machine, but client connects log "license server not found.".
Terminal Server service is running. When I go into Terminal Services
Licensing all I see is my old 2000 license server. I can do a
'connect', and enter the 03 license server address, then it shows up,
and all the license CALs show installed and activated correctly, but
nothing can autodiscover it. I compared all my services between 2k
and 03 servers and everything seems to be same. Licenses are all
valid and correct. What am I missing?

Thanks

You have to point the Terminal Server to the TS Licensing server.
It's not clear to me which OS the Terminal Server is running, so be
sure that you use the correct version of the article:
