If you are deploying Windows 2003 Terminal servers then you can have any Windows 2003 server run your license server. Just point your Terminal servers to the Windows 2003 server for their licenses, then it doesn't matter what DFL you are at.

Subject: [THIN] Terminal Server License question - Domain function level impact
First post to the thin lists so go easy on me! :)
Have a question regards issuing TS licenses and the impact of the DFL of the domain.
Currently our domain functional level is at Windows 2000 Native. All our TS servers are 2000 and clients are a mix of 2000 and XP.
It's looks as though we're going to be forced to deploy some 2003 TS servers in the near future so I'm looking at what we'll need to do in order to issue 2003 TSCALs? I'm assuming that the TS License server will have to be server 2003 but I'm not sure if the fact that we run a 2000 native DFL will make any difference?
In short, can we issue Server 2003 TSCALs from a domain with a functional level of Windows 2000 Native or would be have to deploy a 2003 DC and upgrade it to 2003 interim DFL first?
Many thanks
Chris.
