Guest Ken Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Hi All, We are running an "inherited" Win2k Server for our company networking. Recently we have noticed a significant slow down on responsiveness from client computers accessing network or internet resources. In checking, it appears we have 27 licenses used but only have a 25 CAL setup. Questions: 1. Is this possible? 2. Could this be the culprit behind the recent slowdown? 3. What would be the expected behavior if we have more people accessing network resources than we have licenses for? Thanks in advance! Ken

Yes in per seat mode it is expected that each connecting computer has a CAL. > 2. Could this be the culprit behind the recent slowdown? No not likely. > 3.

In per server mode, when you reach your limit the next user is not allowed to log onto the domain. hth DDS "Ken" <Ken@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:0A0F2CD4-B6F6-46AA-84BE-2AF41EA2216E@microsoft.com... > Hi All, > > We are running an "inherited" Win2k Server for our company networking. > Recently we have noticed a significant slow down on responsiveness from > client computers accessing network or internet resources. > > In checking, it appears we have 27 licenses used but only have a 25 CAL > setup. > > Questions: > 1.
