Title: RE: OWA usage

There has to be some type of consideration given to OWA users.  As others have mentioned, I always "thought" that you did not need a separate CAL for OWA if you already had one for that users work machine/mailbox.  You may want to speak to your vendor again and bring up that exact scenario that Neils mentions.  It really does sound silly how they are explaining their licensing.

That would only fix half of the problem.

A single OWA-enabled user can access his OWA account from any Internet-connected PC in the world!

 

I'd *hate* to pay MS for that many CALs...   :-)

Create a group called NOOWA and deny local login rights to the OWA server to its members.  Just a thought.

 

There are many other means, like restricting HTTP.

I think his question is "How does I stop the folks who *do* have a mailbox, but for whom I don't have an OWA CAL? Other than trusting them not to?".
