TS Licensing server cloned but some issues.

we have test domain , have cloned our live ts licensing server , put on network prove can rebuild in event of disaster. 

i restored server using simple windows backup of drives , system state , looks apart when load ts licensing manager.  when loads doesn't automatically find license server our live domain does, why think?  have select "connect to" , type server name in find it.

thanks

hello,

 

which version of operating system ts license server built on? windows server 2003 or windows server 2008 / r2? using different license server discovery modes. answer question highly depends on information.

 

if windows server 2003 ts ls used, please check mode of ls. if installing domain license server, computer on install license server must domain controller automatically discovered terminal servers communicate it. if install enterprise license server on member server, not need specify preferred license server, because enterprise license servers automatically discovered. change mode domain enterprise, please refer following kb article:

for windows server 2008 / r2-based ts ls, please use forest mode recommended one. if auto-discovery process still fails, please refer following article common issues based on following article:
