Re: Per User Cals

Per User TS CALs are currently not managed at all.
You only have to make sure that you buy as many Per User TS CALs as
you have connecting persons (*not* concurrent, and *not* user
accounts), and all will be fine.

Just to make sure that I understand you correctly: these 15 users
do remote administration, but the 10 servers are all full blown
Terminal Servers, is that correct?
Because in Remote Administration mode you don't need any TS CALs at
all, but you will have a maximum of 2 concurrent connections.

And if the 10 servers are indeed Terminal Servers, and these 15
users are administrators, how are your regular users licensed? If
regular users are licensed Per Device, then you must have a Per
Device license for your administrators as well, since a Terminal
Server can only use one type of licenses.
Only way around this is to setup a dedicated Terminal Server in Per
user licensing mode, to which your administrators connect, and from
there let them connect to the other Terminal Servers, which are in
Per Device licensing mode. RDP over RDP. Gives a small performance
hit, but nothing too bad.

Hi,

I am setting up a network and am having trouble with the
Terminal Services Licensing. The network needs to be setup the
following way:

I have up to 15 remote users who need to do remote adminstration
on 10 or so machines. I have purchased 15 Per User licenses as
their machines will change quite often. Ideally I would like all
of them to be able to log in at the same time on the same
account. Is this possible?? If not do teh Per User CALS link
into the Active Directory somehow and authentication of the
users can happen that way?

Thanks for youe help.
