From: mw on 30 Jun 2010 13:58 I have a server running 2008 standard. The server is for an application that a few users will log on and run the program. there will be no more than 4 users at a time connecting. Can this be done and do I need to make any modifications to the terminal server as they will be connecting by way of Remote Desktop? Thanks

Remote Desktop Services *is* Terminal Serivces (old name - new name) You have to actually install Terminal Services and then have to install The Licensing Services (like maybe on the DC or another Server). I don't recommend installing the License Services on the Terminal Server itself. Then you have to buy the Terminal Services Client Access Licenses to cover the 4 people (I'd buy a minimum of 5). Then you call MS and Activate the License Server using a Activation number that MS gives you when you give them your License number. The TS-CALs are not that expensive, it should not be any big deal for just 5 CALs. -- Phillip Windell The views expressed, are my own and not those of my employer, or Microsoft, or anyone else associated with me, including my cats. ----------------------------------------------------- "mw" <rmwatrich(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:FF9070A4-ED7C-42BF-BD5E-FC2824986B10(a)microsoft.com... >I have a server running 2008 standard.
