We’re running 1 SBS 2003 server on our network of 20 users.
We have 1 and only 1 remote site with a PC, shared by 3 users, that we would like to connect into our accounts software on the SBS.
I have setup a VPN across a broadband connection from this site and accessed the network drives successfully.
I have also used Terminal Services (Remote Desktop) to access the SBS server directly and ran the accounts client software located in C:\Program Files\….\…. (the server side software installed on network drive G:\….\…).
However, this is using 1 of the 2 licenses that come with SBS and they only allow for the Server Admin user to connect remotely using RDP.
Is there a way of locking down 1 of these licenses to deny access to the admin functions on the server (only allowing access to the accounts software)?
Could we purchase 1 additional TS license (per user) install it on the SBS Server and deny access through group policy?
Or is it the case that we must purchase an additional server + server 2003 + TS licenses to allow this 1 PC access to the software on SBS Server (an exspensive solution!!)?
I would be grateful for any help or advice in avoiding emptying the MD’s wallet further (the SBS and the 20 PC’s all new!).
