we have a sbs 2003 which is our domain controller. we are going to be purchasing a new server machine to run all of our sql databases from. sbs wont join an existing sbs domain as it has to itself be a master domain controller. We need to give users windows authentication connections to sql so the new server will need to be part of the existing domain.
If i purchase Windows server 2003 this will then allow me to join an existing domain but do i then need to purchase user licenses for both licensing for every user connecting to the machine and connecting to sql, or do i simply need to buy licenses for the number of staff connecting to the sql server installed on the machine. or does the licenses on the sbs domain controller cover me for all users connecting to the sql on the new server machine because they are domain users connecting
any expertise advice would be great
