Need to demote an existing Win2k3 DC running TS and subsequently promote it into a new domain as a DC running TS.<br />
<br />
I need to know what effect this will have on existing Terminal Services configuration and licensing whether I will need to reinstall TS and re-license.<br />
<br />
Any other pitfalls specific to demotion and subsequent promotion process would also be appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your expert advice!!<br />

Demote Win2k3 DC running TS and prepare for new domain membership as a DC of the new domain running TS

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
