terminal server 2003.

[Jagadesh]

We have installed windows server 2003 in IA 64 bit architecture machine. Terminal services has also been configured, but iam not able to connect more than one machine using terminal client.

I need 10 of my users to access the machine at a single point of time using the terminal client. How can i go about in doing the same?

Is there any other tool apart from terminal service to do the same? if so pls help me on that too.


Thanks

I'm not certain, but I think you'll have to purchase additional TS client licenses.

Jagadesh...
Win2003 Server by default has the admin Terminal session setup. Any additional Terminal Server sessions have to be setup with the licensing....(I think)

BTW: Windows XP clients automatically have a license to use Terminal Services. If you can sort through the Microsoft License agreement, it is somewhat difficult to understand as it appears that you have to purchase additonal licenses for XP for 2003 server but XP and 2000 clients already have a license. So it is somewhat of an issue to understand just what M$ wants. ($)

If your able to sort thorugh this license boilerplate/whitepapers, let us know...

Thanks for the response..

I missed out one important information..
We are using Volume Licensed Windows 2003 server. Will it be required to buy terminal server license seperately.


Thanks

I think you will almost certainly have to purchase more licenses however, as someone else mentioned, WINXP includes a TS CAL (Client Access License). So, if all your computers run XP, you may not need to buy anything. Try contacting MS at the phone number (in India) provided on this webpage for detailed information:
