Demoting old 2003 DC that is acting as a Terminal Services licensing server


hello,

i demoting old 2003 dc member server. wondering if there issues ts licensing after becomes member server.  i plan leave server on while , migrate ts licensing role 2008r2 box. (this customer doesn't 2012r2 reason) thanks!

hi,

in general demoting ts licensing server dc shouldn't affect ts licensing.  make sure computer account member of terminal server license servers group , terminal servers use licensing server configured use fqdn instead of finding via autodiscovery.  may specify name of ts licensing server logging on each terminal server , specifying name in terminal services configuration (tscc.msc) -- server settings -- license server discovery mode or configuring via group policy setting.

as should gather original licensing paperwork, emails, authorization numbers, license numbers, retail key codes, etc. in case re-install ts cals reason or migrate them.
