I am finding similar errors in my secondary DC and Member servers since
installing SBS 2003 premium.
Environment:
Primary DC:
Windows SBS 2003 premium w/sp1
Fresh install, joined to an existing domain.
All FSMO Roles held on SBS
Secindary DC:
Windows Server 2003 Standard
Upgraded from Windows Server 2000 Standard.
Holds terminal Server licensing for Citrix Server.
Member Server 1:
Windows 2000 standard Host OS
Citrix Metaframe Server
Member Server 2
Windows 2000 standard host OS
Used for SQL Server 2000 and internal web based program.
Errors appearing:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: LicenseService
Event Category: None
Event ID: 213
Date: 6/25/2007
Time: 5:16:31 PM
User: N/A
Computer: [SERVER]
Description:
Replication of license information failed because the License Logging
Service on server [servername]
could not be contacted.

The article referenced in the error applies to a server that has been
demoted from DC status to Member status, this does not apply in my
environment.
the above error is appreaing on the 2nd DC and both member servers.
Other information that appears to be related:
The SBS Server's License Logging Service is logging on as
NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService
All other servers are using "Local System Account"
I am not able to change the other servers to use the NT
Authority\NetworkService account to match the SBS server and have not
attempted to use the local system account on the sbs server.
There are no other errors / warnings related to licensing or replication
issues in any of the other logs.
Stephanie may want to look in the licensing configuration for the other
servers to ensure they use Per Device /Per user licensing. rather than per
server licensing.
I would appreciate it if someone could verify which account I should be
using for this service to enable replication. I have been using the defaults
so far and they are obviously not working properly.
