Terminal Server

August 24, 2007

Hi all,

I very new at this so please bear with me...

I have a new windows server 2003, which terminal services has passed its

grace period. All I want to use the server for is basic RDC. Do I need to

install fully blown Terminal Server and purchase CALS ??

I believe Windows 2000 used to come with free CALS (5)

Any advice would be gratefully receieved !!!

THANKS

Re: Terminal Server

If the server has used its grace period, then you already have

installed full-blown Terminal Services.

If you just want Remote Desktop for Administration, with its 3 free

connections for Administrators only, then you must *uninstall*

Terminal Services. Make sure that Remote Desktop for Administration

is enabled after uninstalling TS. It's in Control Panel - System -

Remote.

If you need more than 3 connections, for normal users, then you

must install Terminal Services Licensing and buy TS CALs.
