Guest compsosinc@gmail.com Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 We have an SBS2000 domain - NOT SBS2003 - with 15 licenses We also have a Windows 2003 Server R2 SP2 box that is used as a file/ application server in the same domain. We are considering using the Terminal Services capability of the 2003 Server (not activated yet) to allow (5) thin-clients on the factory floor to connect to the Windows 2003 Server. Questions: 1. Can we activate a Termianl Server in this domain? 2. If so, can anyone give us guidance on how the licensing for the thin-clients will work? That is, does Termianl Server, once activated, already have the (5) licenses we would need? 3. Would we have to buy any additional licenses for the SBS2000 box? Thanks

You'll need to install Terminal Services License Server on the 2003 Server and purchase per user or per device 2003 TSCALs for each client. > 3.
