Windows Server 2003 R2 Terminal Services CAL

by bennp . Updated 16 years, 10 months ago

I need some helps in the area of terminal services in win server 2003 R2 for Remote Desktop Connection.

Currently I can access the server remotely using RDP from the 2 built-in licenses. I need to set up additional 3 more remote access for 3 more users. I purchased Microsoft Terminal Service User Access License (TS CAL) pack of 5 users.

I’m planning to install Terminal Services on our server. If i understand it correctly, i will have to install the open license that i purchased from Microsoft to activate the terminal server. Here are my questions:

1. Will i have a total of 7 Remote Desktop Connection then? (2 built-in + 5 purchased)
2. I understand that the built-in remote desktop connection is configured for administrative purpose. Will they “crash” if I install the user TS CAL license?
3. We are not running Active Directory (no domain controller) do i have to “Lock down” the terminal services as Microsoft recommended?

Many thanks!

Benny
