If you're talking about the equivalent of Win 2000 Terminal Services for Remote Administration, in Win 2003 that becomes Remote Desktop for Administration. It doesn't require the client licensing. http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/standard/proddocs/en-us/Default.asp?url="">

Yes, I am quite aware of the new licensing in Windows 2003. However, I am more annoyed at the fact that I need to purchase TS licenses just for daily admin stuff. What the heck is the point of offering Terminal services as a tool for admins, I may be better off buying 3^rd party software (Remote Admin). I really wish someone from the MVP services would jump in and explain why offer terminal services for admin purposes only to be forced to spend money on a TS license?

Yes, the licensing has changed. In 2003 Terminal Services, you need a CAL for every user or device (depending on the model you choose). The 'unlimited pool' we had in 2000 for 2000/XP clients is no more. Details here:

There is also a CAL transition program for XP machines you purchased before the release of 2003 in April 2003. Details are here:

Hope this helps!

Hi folks,

Can anyone verify that under Windows 2003 TS server, even Windows XP clients need to purchase a TS license? I was under the impression that Windows XP clients did not need to purchase the TS license, but what do you know, they showed up in my temporary license tab in TS Licensing GUI.

Thanx

George
