W2K3 TSLS - DNS alias

I have created a DNS alias for my W2K3 TS License server and have set the
DefaultLicenseServer on my Terminal servers to this DNS alias.

When I run a check on the License Server Discovery Method, it cannot find my
License server. It appears I cannot use a DNS alias or does anyone know why?
When I insert the server name, it works!

Any help appreciated.
 
I have had a similar problem before, It ended up being
something really silly.
All I did was to add my TS License Server to
the "Terminal Server License Server" built in Security
Group in AD.

Erich,
Thanks for the response.

Unfortunately, there is no built-in "Terminal Server License Server" group
in Active Directory.

On my W2K3 TS servers, I have set the registry key under "LicenseServers" to
the DNS alias of my License server, overriding the license discovery process.

I have a W2K3 TS SP1 RC2 server where I can check the discovery process and
it fails when I give in the DNS alias. This is my problem!
