Licensing Question

Hi there,

we have a sbs2k server in our Library. Can I put another server running
Win2K in there as well, or under the licensing for sbs2k can you only have 1
server ?

cheers

You can add one (or more) Win2K servers to the SBS2K network and access to
it will be covered under the SBS CALs. You'll just need to buy the Win2K
server OS license (no Win2K server CALs). Follow the procedure in this
paper to add the CALs to the Win2K server.

(Note that the SBS CALs will not cover a Win2K3 server in an SBS2K network).

yes, you can most certainly add another server! Many of us do it all the
time, especially to configure a second server to run Terminal Server. The
restriction with SBS has to do with sharing trusts (which it doesn't do) and
that it must be the PDC (head honcho).

hi,

On a related question, if using SBS2K3 instead, and adding a Win2K3, will
the
SBS CALs cover use of the Win2K3? Where does one get clear info from MS?

TIA,
Eugene Tan

SBS2k CALs covered access to any Win2k member server as well (only Win2k
member servers). SBS2k3 CALs cover access to any Windows member server (NT
/ 2k / 2k3)

Ah...Thanks!
Didn't realise it was strictly win2k servers with SBS2k CALs.
