Microsoft Small Business Server 2003
5 Add-on User CALs
Small businesses are doing more with
less in today's business environment. Information technology (IT) professionals
can help small businesses do more by deploying Windows Small Business Server
2003 to provide security-enhanced, reliable IT infrastructure. Windows Small
Business Server 2003 provides a complete business server solution with messaging
and collaboration, security-enhanced Internet access, protected data storage,
reliable printing, the ability to run line-of-business applications, and faxing.
And its end-to-end administration features help technology providers set up,
run, and maintain their networks productively and efficiently.The premium
edition includes Windows Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2003 technology, and in
addition, has SQL Server 2000 and ISA Server 2000. The premium edition is ideal
for small businesses with more demanding IT needs, such as data-intensive
line-of-business applications.Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) enhances
security infrastructure by providing new security tools such as Security
Configuration Wizard, which secures your server for role based operations,
improved defense-in-depth with Data Execution Protection, and a safe and secure
first boot scenario with Post-Setup Security Update Wizard.
CALS:
In Per User or Per Device mode, a separate CAL is required for each user or
device that accesses or uses the Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 software
on any server. You may reassign a Windows CAL from one device to another device,
or from one user to another user, provided the reassignment is made either (a)
permanently away from the one device or user or (b) temporarily to accommodate
the use of the Windows CAL either by a loaner device, while a permanent device
is out of service, or by a temporary worker, while a regular employee is absent.
By having two types of Windows CALs, you are able to use the model that makes
sense for your organization. For example, purchasing a Windows User CAL might
make more sense if your company has a need for employees to have roaming access
using multiple devices. Windows Device CALs may make more sense if your company
has multiple-shift workers who share devices.
