When I try to add my 2008 license server to the license server group, I'm
getting the error:

"The computer account for license server <servername> cannot be added to the
Terminal Server License Servers group in the Active Directory Domain Services
(AD DS) because the license server is unable to contact AD DS."

I started out with a 2000 DC, but did adprep/forestprep, and added a 2003
DC, should that not have fixed this?

Try un-join and join of the machine again to the same domain.
That might solve the problem.

Thanks

hmmm, never did an un-join before, do you just join to a workgoup, then go
back and join to the domain?
