Terminal Server License Questions.

[Guest Steven L Chan]

Brief Summary:

 

We had a Windows 2000 DC that was a Terminal Server Licensing box, which

distributed CALs to our Windows 2000 Terminal Server users. Recently, we

have demoted all Windows 2000 DC and installed 3 new Windows 2003 DC's.

Therefore, the Terminal Server Licensing on the former Windows 2000 DC

ceased to work.

 

I had to installed a Terminal Server Licensing on one of our Windows 2003 DC

this morning, because none of our users were able to connect to our Windows

2000/2003 terminal servers. I was able to obtain new Windows 2003 CALs thru

Microsoft and everyting worked out fine.

 

Previously, we've purchased 400 Windows 2000 and 275 Windows 2003, terminal

server CALs.

 

My questions are:

 

The Windows 2003 Terminal Server License should be able to distribute CALs

to Windows 2000 and Windows Terminal Server, right?

 

All I need to do is install the Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 CALs on the

Terminal Server License box, or purchase additional Windows 2003 CAL to be

backward compatible with Windows 2000?

 

Thanks,

Steven
