Windows NT terminal server licensing issue

I installed a win2k3 terminal server with 10 user cals, activated the server
and installed the client licenses (I installed the ts license server on the
ts server) . I did all this _outside_ our sbs2k3 domain. The server was
working great. I then took the server and joined it to the domain. When I
did this the server started telling me I have a license issue.
Specifically: "No terminal sever license server was found on the network.
This terminal server will stop issuing temporary licenses to clients 120
days...."

What can I do to fix this?

Thank you,
Joe
 
Most likely, your 2003 TS cannot automatically discover the TS LS
anymore. You can pont it to the LS in Terminal Services
Configuration - Server settings - Licensing - Preferred Licensing
Server, or in a Group Policy, or by editing the registry.

I followed the steps to modify the registry to point the ts to look at
itself for the tsls and it worked great!

Thanks a billion!
Joe.
