I have a windows 2003 with SP2 with terminal server license server.

I noticed yestarday when I tried to logon on the server, i noticed a pop-up
warning message that say:

Cannot find Windows 2003 terminal server license server

This computer is past its grace period and need to connect to windows server
2003 terminal server license server; otherwise, terminal server will stop
working. click here to lunch terminal services configuration tool to assin a
vaild licence server.

and the server is working normaly for more than a 2 year without any problem
in licenses!

kindly your advice!

Re: cannot find windows 2003 terminal server license server

In Terminal Services Configuration, click on "Server Settings",
then double-click on "License Server discovery mode", then select
"Use these license servers", fill in the name of your license
server, click "Check names" and "OK".

Re: cannot find windows 2003 terminal server license server

OK, try this:

Start the Terminal Services Licensing Manager on the server where
the TS Licensing Service is installed. If it doesn't find the
licensing server automatically, use the File - Connect to.. menu to
conect to the server. Once you see the Licensing Server in the TS
Licensing Manager, check it's status to see if it needs to be
reactivated.
Also check the EventLog on the server for more information.

Re: cannot find windows 2003 terminal server license server

Hi Vera,

thanks a lot for ur reply.
I opened the Terminal Server Licensing and I connected to the server, and
the Activation Status is Activetd. and in the event log, there is nothing,
just an event error ID (3009,3003, and 3011) in application log, but there is
no errors or warnings on the system log.

is there anything else can I do?

thanks in advance,

Rami Khatib

Re: cannot find windows 2003 terminal server license server

Mmm, difficult, everything seems to be correct, apart from the fact
that the server is complaining...
How about your clients? Can they still connect?
Can you check in the TS Licensing Manager, and look at the most
recent dates that licenses are issued to clients? Are new or
updated licenses still issued? In other words: is the LS doing it's
job as it should? Because if licenses are still issued, it must
mean that the TS can actually communicate with the LS, because
clients never communicate directly with the LS.

Can you also run lsview from the Resource Kit and post the result
here?
