Hello.

I'm experiencing a problem with windows 2008 terminal server and my windows
2008 licens server.

The problem is quite simple: The license server dosent give licenses to my
2008 terminal servers but it will however give out licenses to windows 2003
servers.

This leads me to belive that there's some setting I've overlooked at my
license server or my 2008 terminal servers.
My TS can discover the license server and bring up information about how
many cals and so forth so they can see and bring up information from the
licens server.

Using group policy I've specified the license server to be used.

On the license server itself I've added the servers that needs license in
the "Terminal Server computers" group.

Still my Windows 2008 TS is not getting their license and since the grace
period has run out nobody can connect to them anymore so it's a big problem.

Any ideas?

Did you install Windows 2008 TS CAL's?

Yes 2008 TS CAL's are installed.

We're going to use "per device" cal's and I have set that option on the
terminal servers aswell.

Ok, it had to be asked :)

Is your license server on the TS box itself or another box? have you tried
specifying the location directly in TS Config to the license server? Any
error messags? Have you added the server to the TS license group (forget
exact name) on the license server?

Hehe, just ask away ;)

I think I coverd some of your questions in my inital post:

1. On the license server itself I've added the servers that needs license in
the "Terminal Server computers" group.

2. Using group policy I've specified the license server to be used.

Now to the rest:

I have 3 Windows 2008 Terminal servers and one aditional server where I have
installed Windows 2008 server and added the license server role.

Using the diagnostic tool under TSC all 3 terminal servers can see the
license server, but still no license is beeing issued.

I hope this helps some :)
