    I have to tidy up CALs in a domain (NT4 server is the old PDC and win2k3 server is the new one).

    Issue 1: NTserver is still running the licensing service including terminal server licenses which cant be moved to the 2k3 server

    Issue 2:
    CAL types are a bit scattered
    Product | seat owned | seat allocated | server | alloc
    MS Backoffice | 60 | 154 | 0 | 0
    Exch 2000 | 90 | 10 | 0 | 24
    Exch 5.5 | 100 | 0 | 0 | 74
    NT | 155 | 3 | 463 | 139
    Win server | 300 | 266 | 200 | 45

    Servers are:
    NT server : demoted PDC, now filestore
    2k3 : PDC
    Exch2k3: exchange
    2k : Intranet
    2k3: SQL

    There are 190 users approx. How many users are covered above? do they all get lumped together? am I short licenses ? some users are using multiple license types which ones are duplicates of each other ? there used to be a SBS 2003 server but that was discontinued for the seperates approach.


    Issue 3:
    There are a lot of Users listed in the licensing manager that are no longer here and have been deleted from AD. Licensing manager is running on NT server, AD is listing users on both NT server and 2k3. Which AD is the licensing service pulling the list from ?

    Computers listed in AD on NTserver are also on 2k3 server and need a good clearing out but I dotn want to drop valid pcs off the domain and have to physically log them back on (I'm lazy that way). Is there a recommended way to automatically remove "dead" PCs from the domain.

    I'm off to do a bit of reading on this myself but if anyone has a link to a handy article or a bit of advice please share! Top priority is minimising downtime for users as this needs to be tidied up during business hours.

    thanks in advance
