SUS and W2K Server

[Phil B]

We're interested in using SUS, but noting that it has to
run on W2K Server, we assume we will have to buy a licence
for the dedicated server for the several hundred people in
our organisation that would be accessing it? Can anyone
confirm this, or do we simply have to pay for the number
of people accessing IIS at any one time? We don't want to
run it on any of our fileservers already running W2K
Server.

TIA,

Phil

You need a W2K server licence and thats it. Since SUS runs off IIS, the
clients connecting to it don't need a CAL.

In any event, if you are have exisitng servers and hundreds of users you
should have your servers licenced in per seat mode and have one W2K CAL for
each client. Each client is then licenced to connect to any number of W2K or
NT4 servers.
