Things to Remember• Server Operating System licenses must be

assigned to a physical server. • A hardware partition or blade is considered to be a

separate server.• Licenses can only be reassigned once every 90

days.• Exception to this rule: The physical server

experiences permanent hardware failure and is retired.

• To run a Virtual Machine on a server, the physical server has to have the appropriate number of server licenses assigned.

• If you install virtual instances on your Windows Server, the physical instance can only be used for supporting the virtualization software (Windows Server 2008).

Why Upgrade from Windows Server 2003?

• Easier product installation, initial configuration, and server management

– Server roles and role management no longer fragmented across multiple tools

• Increased protection – Operating system hardening– Policy-based management

• Greater flexibility– Integrated server virtualization– Centralized application access– Extensible Web solutions– Improved deployment

• TS Gateway allows authorized remote users to log on to terminal servers on a corporate network from anywhere

• Terminal Services Remote Programs – run both local and remotely-hosted programs on a Windows desktop.

• With TS Web Access – users can visit a Web site to access a list of available Remote Applications that can be launched with a click.
