Ok, I have a small w2k domain with 5 workstations and 1 PDC/fileserver
My boss wants to add 2 new workstations into the mix with a very limited budget. I however would feel much better if we also had a BDC to cover our butts if something every happened to the PDC/filesever.
What I plan on doing is purchasing one computer as a workstation with W2K Pro and the other as a BDC with W2k Server. A very trusted user would use this computer as thier workstation for accounting.
Now, here are my questions:
1. will the second server still act as a BDC (recieve copies of the user accounts ect..)if the accountant is logged on as a different user?
2. To save money I plan on buying the second server w/o W2K installed and just install myself with an existing disk. Would I just need a “Microsoft Windows 2000 Server License ~$249” Or would I need a “Microsoft Windows 2000 Server License WITH 5 CAL’s ~$450”? (basically does the BDC inherit the CAL’s from the PDC or does it need its own for clients to connect.
Thanx,
If you see any other problems that I may be missing, please feel free to let me know.
