Hi,
I'm currently playing around with XenApp 5.0 and Windows 2008. Since our environment is still in 2003, the windows terminal service license server is a windows 2003 server.
I have a working windows 2008 server and I do have windows 2008 TS CAL, although I may stick with the temp license for testing purposes.
My question is what happens when I activate the windows 2008 TS License server? Will it disrupt the production CAL allocation process?
Regards,
WA
The Licensing Server discovery works as detailed in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/301932.
Essentially, if the current Licensing Server is a DC and the 2008 licensing server will be a DC, and they are both in the same Active Directory site, you could run into problems.
If that is the case, or otherwise, I would be inclined to set the LicenseServers registry value on all your 2003 Terminal Servers to have it point to the 2003 Licensing Server only: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/279561/EN-US/. That will override any other discovery mechanism and force the servers to use the 2003 Licensing Servers.
