licensing issue with Windows server 2003

[Guest Digitarii@gmail.com]

I have an issue with one particular client where the entire network is

locking up and they have to reboot all of the devices in the network

to recover functionality. I have eliminated most of the network

devices (routers, switches, etc.) as the culprits, but I'm thinking

that the issue may lie in the User CALs. They just expanded operations

and added additional people to their facility, and I'm wondering if a

lack of CALs would cause the issue that is happening.

 

Any thoughts?

No, this doesn't sound like anything related to licensing.

Since Windows Server 2003 doesn't track Per User licenses, it doesn't

sound like this is the problem. If it is, you should be seeing errors

and/or warnings in the event logs.
