Hi:

 

Basicaly you need buy a Terminal Server (TS) CAL, per device (PC) you plan

to use. Nowadays MS is not selling TS CAL for Win 2000. As far as I know you

should buy the win 2008 and then "downgrade" them to win 2000, using the

clearinghouse service.

 

Check this last point, because I am sure it can be done with 2003 (win 2008

CALs downgrade to win 2003), but I am not sure if you still can do that with

win 2000.

I believe you can only downgrade one version so Win2k would not be

supported. Heck Win2k isn't supported at all anymore. I would highly

recommend going at least Win2k3. the benefits in regards to terminal

services are pretty big especially performance.

While I agree with Jeff that you should at least use Windows 2003,

you don't have to buy any licenses if you stick with W2K.

Since your clients run W2K and XP (I assume XP Pro), they will all

get a free license from the built-in pool of licenses on the TS

Licensing Server.

Yes, I guessed so. But that's understandable, Jeff. After all, W2K is

unsupported by now.

Juan, that's another reason to use at least 2003, you will have a

hard time getting support when you need it.
