Windows 2008 Server Terminal Service Limitation

Steven E. Protter — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 19:24:21 GMT

SBS 2003 had a 2 user limit to for TS/RDP sessions.

I need to know if SBS 2008 has the same limit.

I know one can buy SBS 2008 Premium and set up a second server to be the TS server. But that gets a little pricey on the hardware side.

SBS has Exchange server which is needed for this project.

Does Windows 2008 Server SE Standard Edition also include an Exchange server?

Please document your answers with links.

Good start.

Seems that the Foundation Edition doesn't have an exchange server. Yes? No?

Is SBS the lowest cost way to get an exchange email server?

Steven,

Two concurrant RDP users is standard across the server line. That won't change.

SBS is the least expensive way to get Exchange. The next one up is the Essential Business Server. (This seems to be a "Back Office" redo).
