RE: [ActiveDir] Terminal server licenses

[George Arezina]

Thanks to everyone. I uninstalled TS licensing server and did not get the error message that I had a few days ago, saying in order to login to the DC through TS services you needed a TS licensing server. Configured terminal users through GPO and everything is working fine. I am curious as to why I got the error message in the first place, and why force terminal licensing server? I guess one of those MS things…… Thank again to everyone.

It limits you to 2 simultaneous connections as did W2K in Remote Admin mode but you don’t require licenses   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of George Arezina Sent: 31 January 2005 16:44 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Terminal server licenses   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 3rd 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?

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: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/howtobuy/licensing/ts2003.mspx   There is also a CAL transition program for XP machines you purchased before the release of 2003 in April 2003. Details are here: http://licensecode.one.microsoft.com/transition/default.asp   Hope this helps!   --Dave   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of George Arezina Sent: Friday, January 28, 2005 06:59 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Terminal server licenses 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.
