My client is running a sbs2003 server as a domain server.
It is the only server on a small network.
I have two users at a remote site connected by cisco routers.
The two off site clients access Pastel Accounting from the SBS2003 server.
I setup Terminal services on the server and let the two offsite clients log
on to the server.
I understand sbs2003 is not ment to use terminal services while ating as a
domain controller but it was the best solution we could come up with at short
notice.
now the two remote clients are so set, we are going to keep it that way.
But now I need to get CALS for the two clients.
everywhere I aks they say you cannot buy termianl services
cals.
Question 1] Is that correct or am I aking the wrong questions?
Question 2] If you cannot get CAL why is the server saying that the terminal
server is about to expire?
Question 3] Is there a better way to let these two remote clients access the
server.
keeping in mind that Pastel Accounting does not travel well across a
normal network?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Soho,

TS in application sharing mode isn't supported on SBS 2003.

How exactly did you set it up?

Maybe not, but poor local network performance implies an application
that wasn't designed for networking and therefore doesn't need to run on
a server operating system.

If you can live with only one client connecting at a time (and a poor
networking application also implies poor simultaneous access) then run
it on an XP Pro machine, and connect using RWW. As long as your existing
users or client computers have SBS CALs, then they do not need any
additional licences other than the XP Pro copies.

I think the only alternative is a full Win 2003 Server with TS CALS.

I don't think you need to set much up. TSWeb will run programs
on SBS, and with appropriate file permissions, you don't need
to be an admin to use it.
