OS requirements for NLB STD or ENT?

[Guest Marc C]

Hello, It appears that I can run Network Load Balancing in Server 2003 Std

edition.

I would like to utilize this feature between (2) 2003 Terminal Servers.

 

I ask because I have heard (but cannot verify) that the enterprise edition

is required to utilize 2003 terminal server.

 

The articles I am looking at do not mention this requirement but I think

that in windows 2000, the ent ed was required for both Clustering and NLB

BTW I do not expect to utilize session Directory server in the future.

(when it comes time to scale up, I hope to utilize to Citrix and it does

not appear that Ent Ed is required there.) I would rather utilize my current

2003 std licences than purchase ent ed licences for the short term.

Thanks again.

You can run TS and NLB on Windows 2003 Standard Edition.

Session directory requires Eneterprise Edition.
