Re: Connecting ONE remote PC to SBS 2003

Using that license to do anything other than server administration violates
the EULA anyway. It is called "Remote Administration Mode" for a reason...so
that the server can be remotely administered via RDC.

you could set up a Win2000 server with TS and not need licenses if the
remote system is 2000 Pro or XP Pro. That makes it a cheaper solution than a
2003 TS.

TS licenses are for systems that can run TS, which SBS 2003 cannot do.

We're running 1 SBS 2003 server on our network of 20 users.
We have 1 and only 1 remote site with a PC, shared by 3 users, that we
would
like to connect into our accounts software on the SBS.
I have setup a VPN from this site and accessed the network drives
successfully.
I have also used Terminal services (remote desktop) to access the SBS
server
directly and ran the accounts software.

However, this is using 1 of the 2 licenses that come with SBS and they
only
allow for the Admin user to connect remotely using RDP.

Is there a way of locking down 1 of these licenses to deny access to the
admin functions on the server (only allowing access to the accounts
software)?
Could we purchase 1 additional TS license (per user) and deny access
through
group policy?
Or is it the case that we must purchase an additional server + server 2003
+
TS licenses to allow this 1 PC access to the software (an exspensive
solution!!)?

I would be grateful for any help or advice in avoiding emptying the MD's
wallet further.
