My understanding is that Windows XP clients are granted a license to
access a Windows 2000 terminal server, even if this server is a member
of a 2003 directory. However, since updating the 2003 domain
controller this no longer seems to be the case. Is anyone familiar
with this issue? Do I now need to purchase TS CAL's for my WinXP
boxes since the DC was updated?

Thanks in advance.
