RE: Counting mailboxes - info from MS
Title: Message So, I just got off the phone with a nice, perky young 'Softie. :-) Here's the odd part ... I asked about the OWA coverage; she went and asked someone else. Result: if the off-site user is using a desktop system to access OWA (or Exchange, via a VPN), then YES, it needs a license. If they are using a laptop, NO, they do not need a license - since the Exchange CAL covers *both* a desktop *and* a laptop of a user. The system mailboxes (Attendant, Free/Busy, etc) are covered under the server license, and so do not require CALs. NAV does *not* require a CAL; the NAV for Exchange is supposed to be sold with a CAl for the user that NAV for Exchange creates. Until somebody at MS contradicts this info, this is what I'll use to base my licensing purchases on. -- Michael Leone, Systems Administrator Philadelphia Contributionship 210 S. 4th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] V: 215-627-1752 x1282 F: 215-627-5354 -Original Message-From: Leone, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 12:30 PMTo: MS-Exchange Admin IssuesSubject: RE: Counting mailboxes I'm still not sold on this OWA licensing thing I'm calling MS now, and hope they know what they're talking about.
