Guest Machunter Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 What versions of VISTA are compatible with terminal services 2000. If similar to XP I would assume Business and Ultimate. I have tried Ultimate and it functions but can someone confirm business is also ok? Special licensing considerations??

Guest Machunter Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Re: Windows 2000 Terminal services and VISTA Following is an extract from http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/en-us/terminal/terminal_faq.mspx "No, Microsoft desktop operating systems (including Windows XP and Windows 2000 Professional) do not have a built-in Terminal Services CAL. For Windows 2000 Terminal Servers, the license server issues machines running Windows 2000/Windows XP Professional a "free" Terminal Services CAL from its built-in pool (and its use is permitted under the Windows 2000 Server EULA). Windows XP Professional is a successor to Windows 2000 Professional, and as a result does not need a Terminal Services CAL to access a Windows 2000 Server running Terminal Services. However, Windows XP Home Edition is not a successor to Windows 2000 Professional (rather, it is a successor to Windows Millennium Edition) and therefore does require a Terminal Services CAL in order to access Windows 2000 Terminal Services." So my question is will Windows 2000 issue a "free license" from its built in pool for ista and if so which version. My testing with Ultimate says that seems ok but what about other versions.
