RE: how many browser connections, and do mapped drives count?



By browser I mean folks trying to get there by opening and explorer, network
neighborhood, and winnowing their way to my domain and server. As soon as
they click the domain, they get a refusal to connect. I have specified that I
have 20 CALs, but there can't be even close to that number of machines
trying to connect. This system is also a terminal server, but that licensing
seems to be going as it should... (even though I have issues with not being
able to reset a license once it's been dished out).
