DreamSpark Windows Server 2008 client access licenses
I just saw today on DreamSpark that serve 2008 can be received. However, this license includes and CALs? I wanted to test the sharing files and a few other things with some PC clients, so I want to keep it straight.
Thank you!
As it is a server issue, it would be better asked in the Windows Server forums rather than on the Windows Vista forums.

OS for vCenter. Should I for windows server client access licenses?
Hello
I just buy more Essentials and installing vCenter. A Microsoft guy told me except the license server should I buy Windows client access licenses to the server also. To me, this seems odd. Is this true? Is there a document indicating I need / not need client access licenses?
Thanks in advance!
Long story short: you need a CAL for each device / user that will access the VirtualCenter machine (Windows server).
Quote: Each user or device that accesses or uses the Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 server software requires the purchase of a license for access to Client in Windows Server 2008 (Windows Server CAL)
Add as follows: (assuming you are installing vCenter on W2008) http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/client-licensing.aspx
If you already Win servers in your environment and your users / devices already have win client access licenses server, you can use the existing licenses to stay in the EULA. Talk to your MS guy if that's the case.

I have a mac with OS 10.4.11 and I try to access a remote server running Windows Server 2008 R2. I have installed, uninstall and reinstall the Client of remote access for Mac 2.0.1 but I can not connect. My network administrator tells me that Mac OS 10.4.11 is so old and useless that I am better just throw my computer and buy a new one in order to solve the problem. This is absurd. Can you help me?

How to configure the mode of kiosh for thin clients on windows server 2008
I have an eight Thin Clients who will use RDP to access (Terminal Server Services) Remote Desktop Services on a Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. I would like to set up a group of users for these Thin Clients to be in a mode Kiosh so that they have very limited capabilities, can not download and run anything, unable to save anything in the computer except on the desktop and when they log off and back on everything, they had disappeared because the mandatory profile is loaded again.
I'll have another group that more access is needed.

I got a new server and the server only supports the SBS 2003 R2 and more. I have tried slipstreaming drivers and all that already, without success. I have SBS Server 2003 Standard now with 15 CLIENT access licenses. If I buy a copy of SBS 2003 R2 on ebay to get the installation done, Microsoft requires new or different CLIENT access licenses or licensing of the R2 or 2003 SBS CAL upgrade existing will be sufficient? Any info would be much appreciated!
Thank you

For TMS Win2008 Server and SQL Server client access licenses?
Where, I read that the TMSXE interface requires a CAL on the Exchange Server. What I can't seem to locate is all information about client access licenses how are required to Win2008 R2 Server Standard Edition and SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard. Is there a reference document that I'm missing with this information. It seems that according to Microsofts definitions, you might need a CAL by user device and/or managed web that connects to the web interface.
Can someone clarify the situation?
Hello world
So should put the closure of this thread, I have now clarified what follows when it comes to TMS and MS licenses:
Users and administrators to connect to TMS authenticate AD, the server that hosts the TMS must be allowed to support authenticated connections. Don't authenticate TMS Managed/configure with AD devices via the web server. As a result, and as managed devices does not authenticate against IIS with AD login, these types of connections don't require licenses. Only users who connect to the Web site would be.
The issue of Exchange and SQL are similar, that is, authenticated connections how are made?
Of MSDS, all connections to SQL server use the same authenticated account, by default uses a SQL login. Web site users are not authenticated to SQL Server. Therefore, and in the case of an external SQL Server, this would be equal to one.
When communicating with Exchange, all connections are through a unique service account. Created for managed systems the mailboxes are not connected by users or MSDS for normal operation. As a result, and as with an external SQL Server, this would be also equal to one.
Hope that clarifies completely now
Rgds,
Dale

How to get right to downgrade to Windows Server 2008, if I buy window 2012 license
We need to buy Windows Server 2008 Enterprise X 64 Edition, unfortunately, is not available although wanted to confirm which edition of Windows Server 2012 devrais I buy to get the edition of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise X 64 Edition downgrade but I found the information in your FAQ document, mentioned in Q15 I have to buy Windows Server 2012 Standard for Windows Server 2008 EnterpriseQ15. If I want to use the bits from a previous version or edition, what are my options?
If you have Windows Server Datacenter edition 2012, you will have the right to downgrade your bits any earlier version or lower edition. If you have Windows Server 2012 Standard edition, you have the right to downgrade your forests to any previous version of Enterprise, Standard or Essentials editions.
The ability to execute downgrade bits do not change licensing or support the terms in which you use the product; rights of the purchased product (Windows Server 2012) will apply. This means that the license will continue to wear two physical processors and virtualization of the rights do not change.
Here are a few examples. License purchased
Downgraded version or edition
ILO rights that apply
License fees that apply
Data Center 2012
Datacenter 2008
Datacenter 2008
Datacenter 20121
Standard 2012
Enterprise 2008 R2
Enterprise 2008 R2

I would like to have a remote desktop solution that allows me to connect to remote computers even while users are connected, with the help of another session. The idea is that the user working locally in the remote system can function normally undisturbed by the remote user.
I have tried TightVNC , but I couldn't understand how to enter an independent session.
I am using Windows Server 2008 and I want two users access to the server with two different sessions as remote users.
There are forums dedicated to Windows Server, please transfer your question in the relevant Microsoft Technet forum here:
