TS Setup Questions

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



We currently have a Windows 2003 Server as our DC and 15 XP Clients
connect to it to use our accounting system. We are opening another
location where 10 XP clients need to access the same accounting
system. Both locations have cable Internet access.We plan to do the
following to accomplish this and then we have some questions with some
of the steps:

1. Purchase an additional Windows 2003 Server Standard (like a Dell
PE1900) to use as the TS. It will physically set next to the DC and
login to the DC to run the accounting application like a workstation
does. THe remotes will login to the TS to run the application.

Q: In addition to the (10) TS CALs-Per Device we will purchase, do we
also need a total of (10) Windows 2003 Server CALs-Per Device on this
TS server?

2. Add the remotes to the DC and setup Group Policy to control the
profiles/desktops.

Q: Since we are adding the remotes to the DC as "computers", do we
need to purchase an additional (10) Device CALs for this server as
well?

3. We want to establish a VPN that the TS will run through.

Q: What is the current recommended method for doing this asssuming
both locations have Static IPs from the ISP? For example, do we setup
VPN routers at both locations (Site-to-Site) or use the capability of
Windows 2003 Server? Note, the remote location will not have a server,
just workstations.
