Question : TS and Citrix licensing migration

hi all,

sorry a few questions in one.

background
sbs2003 domain which i am migrating to a full 2003 domain.

TS and Citrix licensing question

i am going to need to move both of these to a new server which will eventually move to the new domain.

My Plan,

to move them now before the migration.
Questions
1.   Can the TS and Citrix licensing be on another server in a SBS2003 domain? Currently on the sbs server
2.   If i do move them now will i have to effectively re-migrate them when i move the servers to the new domain during migration of the domain?
3.   I have found infor on migrating the TS licenses but i can not find an idiots guide to moving the Citrix licenses - does anyone have an ideiots guide/a link to one?
4.   Once migration is done i plan to have the TS and citrix licensing on different servers. Is there a benefit to this or is it better for them to be on the same server?

sorry for the bombardment of questions.

thanks
Gareth

Answer : TS and Citrix licensing migration

I think you're actually making it more complicated than it needs to be.  

First of all, TS licensing Servers can run on any windows server 2003 in the domain, or actually any server in or out of the domain if you force the selection.  The ultimate guide to TS licensing issues is here:  http://www.brianmadden.com/content/article/The-Ultimate-Guide-to-Windows-2003-Terminal-Server-Licensing

But why would you move them now?

If you are migrating from an SBS to a stand alone server environment, then you need to purchase the SBS Transition Pack which will convert your SBS into standard server products.  Then, you can move components as you like, but you don't have to move them if you don't want to.

This means that you don't really have a "New Domain" if you don't want to either.  You can just transition right into whatever configuration you like.

Also, as for keeping TS and Citrix licensing on separate servers?  I don't see any benefit.
