| TS License Server Discovery Part 2 |

Windows 2003 With Win2003, it was pretty easy for us to get started. We fixed the registry-based discovery to allow multiple license servers and to be applied in the admin tools too. We also reduced network traffic a few ways: 1. First check the registry – if we’ve been told what LS to use, why look anywhere else? 2. Next try discovery via Active Directory – one LDAP query is faster than many RPCs to domain controllers. 3. For Domain discovery, first try local (on-site) DCs. Only if everything else fails should we try contacting off-site DCs. 4. Stop the discovery process as soon as we find the first LS. Don’t do any further discovery unless the LS we’ve found is no longer available. Finally, we allowed LSs to be installed on any server, not just DCs. Windows 2003 SP1 After Win2003 shipped we had some time to sit down and look at customer data, to try to fix the top issues that were causing customers to have to call in. Read it all here.
