[John]

According to

>If you are installing a Domain license server, the computer on which you install the license server must be a domain controller for it to be automatically discovered by terminal servers that communicate with it.

What's the better way to install windows 2003 ts licensing server on a ts
server or domain controller? domain or enterprise type?

thank you.

It really doesn't matter much, since the recommendation is anyhow not
to rely on automatic discovery, but to configure a preferred TS
Licensing Server. That's easiest done in a Group Policy.

Unless you have a very large user population, the TS Licensing
Service doesn't put a severe strain on the server. I'd install it on
a DC, I like my Terminal Servers to be just that.
