Example for revocation of CAL using WMI Providers:Windows Server 2008 also provides support for revocation of issued CALs using WMI providers.CALs revoked through WMI are reflected in TS Licensing Manager.The following WMI class is used to revoke issued CALs:Win32_TSIssuedLicense:Windows Server 2008 has a WMI class named "Win32_TSIssuedLicense" for managing issuedper device CALs. This WMI class provides the following interface to manually revoke issuedCALs:Revoke: This API can be used to manually revoke an issued CAL. This is a not a static function.The syntax of the API isuint32 Revoke([out] uint32 RevokableCals,[out] DATETIME NextRevokeAllowedOn );Where,RevokableCals: Number of TS CALs of the same type as the current object that can berevoked.NextRevokeAllowedOn: Date that the administrator can next try to revoke licenses. Thisparameter only contains valid data when the Revoke method call has failed because themaximum revoke count has been reached.Manually publishing and Un-Publishing Terminal Server license Server:Terminal Servers automatically discover TS License Servers available in a deployment byquerying the Active Directory Catalog for a list of license servers. This list is in the "TS-Enterprise-License-Server" object in the Catalog Server. Typically, License Servers in "Forest"discovery mode publish themselves to this list during installation. However, this process may gowrong for a variety of reasons, and the publishing step may need to be performed manually.Alternatively, when the discovery mode or deployment location of a License Server changes, itmay be necessary to un-publish the LS from the list. In this post, I want to discuss how you canperform these manual operations in Windows Server 2003 License Server.Manually Publishing a License Server for Forest Discovery14 | P a g e
Typical problems that cause the failure of publishing the TS License Server are:If during the installation of the License Server, Active Directory was down and theLicense Server was not published in the Catalog.If the License Server was installed in Forest mode, but without Enterprise AdministratorCredentials, it will not be published in the Catalog.In these cases, the License Server may need to be manually published. You may also have tocreate the TS-Enterprise-License-Server object if it does not yet exist in the Catalog Server.Publishing a License ServerWe can manually publish the Terminal Server License Server, using one of the following twomethods,Using "Active Directory Sites and Services":1. Open the "Active Directory Sites and Services" snapin; Start -> Programs ->Administrative tools -> "Active Directory Sites and Services"2. Select the Site in which you wish to publish the Terminal Server License Server3. Open the "TS-Enterprise-License-Server" Object.
