samba - Jan 2008 - samba domain and windows server licenses

Hello,

sorry if this post is a little bit offtopic, but samba is marginaly 
involved and I hope this problem was solved before.

We have a windows 2000 terminal server in a domain where the PDC and BDC 
  are linux/samba machines. Now on the TS we get a message 221 that we 
need more server licenses. When I try to add them through the license 
manager it searchs for a service on the PDC/BDC that does not xist, 
because it is a samba PDC.

Does anyone know how I can add this damn licenses ?

Thanks
Andreas

Firstly, you need to install and activate Terminal Server Licensing 
server (on one of the Terminal Servers or whatever Windows server you 
choose). Note the stand alone option.

Than, add Terminal Server CAL's.

Afterwards you need to edit registry on the terminal server(s) to point
to the license server you have just activated.

Hello,

for all with the same problem.

Take the machine out of the domain, add the licenses and put it back 
into the domain. Windows asks you to reboot after you change from and to 
  the domain but it works ( I hope ;) even without reboot.
