Hi Michael,
I have a Windows 2000 domain with 4 domain controllers using Active Directory. One of those is the Licensing Master server.
After installing the latest patches from Microsoft I started to get errors related to the MS licensing service on every Windows NT 4.0 server every 15 minutes. Of course they are filling my event logs out.
The patches I installed are the latest the MS03-03x
I am afraid it the problem could be related with this one in particular (Just a guess because is RPC related, same protocol that the licensing server uses)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-039.asp
The event log says:
Replication of license information failed because the License Logging Service on server \\XX1 could not be contacted.
License Service
EventID: 213
I test the rpc communication, connectivity, I used RPING, I canged the License server to a different domain controller. Restarted the License service on every server. Changed the replication time and sometimes the logs stopped, but they came back after 24 hrs.
Any clue?
Thanks.
Rodrigo
