All, <br />

I am about to upgrade to a Windows 2000 AD domain from NT4...I have at present a windows terminal Server license server sitting on a windows 2000 server that i need to trash and rebuild as the 2nd 2003 DC..(I already have another 2003 server ready and waiting). Firstly I need to get the existing license server onto the built and ready 2003 server that will be the first DC. Can I just deactivate the existing and build the new one?. I hear that you must have the TS license server on the DC in a AD domain, is this correct? The next problem is the licensing changes in 2003...At present we also have a citrix server that clients connect to for a few published apps..all my clients are 2000 or XP which has a built in TS CAL..will this still work for 2003? We do have SA for all client OS's. The problem is that I havent budgeted for any extra expenditure. Seems abit of a cheek for MS to change the TS licensing :-( <br />
<br />
Any pointers would be very appreciated :-)

Windows Terminal server 2003 licensing Issues

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
