Guest TomMiami Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Current situation: SBS2k3 domain, 5 users inhouse running a server based database. Future situation requires 5 users in-house plus 5-10 users in-field. Please let me know if I am on the right (best and economical) path with this scenario: New Windows Server 2008 5 user (+ 5 later if/when reqd) New Terminal Services Lic 5 user (+ 5 later if/when reqd) Continue to serve db on SBS2k3 to in-house users and in-field users through new TS (W2k8) server to sbs2k3. I believe RemoteApp will be a winner for us. Do we need 5 additional licences for the SBS2k3? Any suggestions would be greatley appreciated!
Guest Patrick Rouse Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 RE: adding W2k8 terminal server to sbs2k3 domain I believe you will need SBS licenses if authenticating against the SBS Active Directory, or using any file, print or application services from the SBS. Check with your MSFT Licensing Specialist to be certain. -- Patrick C.

Guest TomMiami Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 RE: adding W2k8 terminal server to sbs2k3 domain Thanks, that's what I thought, but what do you think about the overall senario? Is that the route you would take? thanks, tom "Patrick Rouse" wrote: > I believe you will need SBS licenses if authenticating against the SBS Active > Directory, or using any file, print or application services from the SBS. > > Check with your MSFT Licensing Specialist to be certain. > > -- > Patrick C.

Guest Jeff Pitsch Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Re: adding W2k8 terminal server to sbs2k3 domain If I'm reading your original post, I think you sound good. You want to deliver a application to remote users wihtout giving them a desktop correct? The frontend application to the database will run on the terminal server. Sounds good to me. -- Jeff Pitsch Microsoft MVP - Terminal Services "TomMiami" <TomMiami@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:907DFC86-22BB-495B-B215-C005B3BF21B6@microsoft.com... > Thanks, that's what I thought, but what do you think about the overall > senario?

Guest JayellIII Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 RE: adding W2k8 terminal server to sbs2k3 domain Tom, I just ran into the same situation where I have 10 in-house users and need to have 10 field users. I contacted Microsoft Pre-Sales team to get directed to the right part number and the answer was DEVASTATING: YOU CANNOT HAVE TERMINAL SERVICES ON A SMALL BUSINESS SERVER 2003. Only the two native accesses are permited. The solution is add a STANDARD SERVER 2003 and make it the terminal services manager; thus adding the additional licences on THIS server. It was a gigantic blow to my face since I assumed that the SBS2003Premium Edition DID HAVE the 10 Terminal Services licenses built-in.
