I was going to come back here to post that the Licensing Service wouldn\'t stay stopped (I disabled it- kept enabling itself I guess- although the server didn\'t appear to reboot any). Didn\'t know you had replied. Basically I have 30 licenses. There are 22 users or so at any given time...

Agree 100%. The trolls are allowed to roam free ;)

Does per user or per device matter? If stopping the service stops all license checking- I'll do just that. I thought it would stop prompting me but still prevent more connections than what is reported though... I own more than enough licenses- seems like this should work (I'll give it a...

Bump...

Basically, some of my users have connectivity problems at times. I have no idea if it is due to (for instance) lack of licenses. I know I have enough for all the users in the building. But if Exchange is indeed sucking up licenses- I need to know how many, etc. I can reboot the server...

Bump- anyone? More Q's... How do I also view (preferably detailed like in my OP) usage? I thought the Max Use in Licensing was what I was looking at. But after a reboot and only two users signed on- it immediately reports 36 used.

Bump- anyone? Other than rebooting the server (which really shouldn't be an option here)... how in the world do you free up these CALs? I may be misreading what the Licensing portion is telling me, but I always thought the "Maximum Usage" was the current amount of licenses used? Doesn't...

SBS Server 2003 SP2.

It is glad to see someone that comes back and posts that it worked ;)

That would suck considering it is a CLIENT access... Anyone know for sure? All I know is I used to have 20 CALs installed. Usage went up to 28 when I started doing some VPN things... so I bought 10 more (figuring it would be plenty). There have been no more computer additions- and VPNs...

This is what I was saying... this thing is at least 3 years old- and it slipped past.

Just create an A record. You should have something like DOMAIN.local. Create A record to point to the forum's IP. I just don't know if you can point it to another FQDN (I know OpenDNS can do this).

True. But NOD32 didn't even see the darn thing... I guess what I am saying is it isn't as good as what it is hyped to be.

What is eating my CALs? On this particular server- there are 24 machines (some of which aren't turned on...) I have 3 clients connected in RAS. But Licensing is reporting 36 licenses used... How can I view what is eating up my CAL? They are all configured as per-user.

Morf.. I agree. I'm saying running your own DNS server at home is rather pointless when you have OpenDNS availible ;)
