No Terminal Server license server is available?

[Mr_Huang]

Dear guru,
I have read several thread regarding this error, however, it cannot
apply to my case.
Three Terminal License servers deployed in my W2K3 domain, two in my
AD and one in member server. Planned to phase out one of the AD (which
contained TLS) with a new installation (same hostname WITHOUT the
TLS).
Having installed a new AD (same name without TLS) to my network, then
I got this message "No Terminal Server license server is available in
the current domain or workgroup. To connect to another license server,
click Action, Click Connect, and then type the server name." when I
launch the TS Licensing each time and it tried to connect to the old
information instead.
Tried LSView but nothing come up.
However, I could able to see the other two LS in the "Terminal Service
Configuration"-> "Server Settings" -> "Discovery Mode" and I could
able to login to my Citrix, I assume my terminal (Citrix) server can
locate the license server correctly.
Checked with ADSIedit -> CN=Configuration -> CN=Sites -> Default-first-
site -> CN=TS-Enterprise-License-Server Properties -> Site Server ->
Distinguished name which contain all the hostnames of three License
servers. It showed "cn=Delected Object" for my newly installed AD
(same name without TLS) when clicking into the details attributes.
Do you have any ideas?
thanks

Hi Huang,

Terminal Server License Server (TSLS) manager tries to find out License
Servers in following order,
- Checks for Published License Servers in its site
- Checks if its Domain Controller had License Server installed on it.

So in your case,
- Make sure new AD is in "Default-first-site"
- You can delete the old entries (invalid) from
"TS-Enterprise-License-Server" object
- Then you can manually add License Server details; for doing so please
check

The error disappeared once I removed the "old entry" in my "TS-
Enterprise-License-Server" -> "Default-first-site"
Thank you very muchk
