Re: Windows 2000 TSCAL for Vista

Yes, I can officially say that the Vista client will receive a built-in CAL when connecting to a Win2000 TS.

Richard,
I've forwarded your question to the Microsoft TS Team and asked
them to post an authorative answer here.
I *assume*, like Benny and you, that Vista clients should receive a
built-in license from the W2K TS LS.
Question is, does a W2K TSLS 'know' this :-)

Thanks for the reply Benny. I enjoyed your book, by the way.

That was my guess as well, based on the same reasoning. However,
I was hoping for a more definitive answer. I have looked on the
MS website, and there was no mention of this that I could find.
Can you suggest any other way to find the answer to this
question?

Under Windows 2000, operating system equivalency allowed
clients with the same or with a higher version than the server
legal access to Terminal Services without a Terminal Server
Client Access License. I would guess that this also applies to
Vista and is not limited to Windows XP.
