We have two domains (Domain A and Domain B) but want to use one terminal server license server. The TS license server is configured as an Enterprise license server on Domain A. <br />
<br />
When trying to point the TS server from Domain B to use Domain A's license server an error is popping up saying it's not a valid Windows Server 2003 TS License server. However this error only happens on Domain B. Any TS servers from Domain A can connect to the license server fine. <br />
<br />
Does domain B need to be configured as a trusted domain for this to work? What would prevent Domain B from using the license server on Domain A?

Terminal Server 2003 Enterprise License Server

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).

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
