Hi all,

I'm looking to get a Windows Server 2003 box in the middle of my linux network. :(

I'm just concerned about CAL licensing for it.

No devices will access any network server function of Windows Server 2003. I don't need Windows for DHCP or DNS or file and print sharing. I have linux boxes to do that! xD

I just need a box running Windows (of some variety) to host those few apps that have to run on Windows like my AV management console.

In short do I need any CALs for my server if its not acting as server itself.

I think Windows Server 2003 comes with 5 CALs which can be per user for the admins to use RDP?

Thanks,

Phil
