• Clarification needed for SPLA hosting of Windows Terminal Services

  Hello, We have a client that would like us to host a application they developed on Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services. I'm having trouble finding out the licensing requirements for doing this and have the following questions: The SPLA lists TS SAL licenses, but the Terminal Services product info only talks about the regular corporate/enterprise CALs. In a corpoate usage scenario, one needs a CAL and a TS CAL for each user that will be connecting (assuming a per-user not per-device licensing

• Re: Hosted Exchange license requirements

  Resellers are useless - they don't handle the SPLA (Service provider licensing agreement) and thus are not familiar with it. What they know, retail sales and Corporate licensing, is very different. Also, most Microsoft employees (especially the Marketing and Support folks that present at seminars) are clueless about licensing. It's almost a "badge of honor" for them to dodge any pricing or licensing questions with an off-hand "I don't do licensing; check with your sales rep". At least they admit

• download HMC 3.5 docs or printable version? Still looking...

  I see this has been asked before, but in searching the forums I didn't find any resolution. Is there a way to download the HMC 3.5 documentation as a pdf or other format for printing hard copy? The built-in viewer print command is very hard to use and with such a large manual we really would like to have a hardcopy printout to make it easier to mark-up and capture our notes as we proceed. Using IE to print page by page or screen capture is simply too tedious. (The responses I found on this forum

• Re: Web Farm Architecture Question

  Scale out horizontally - added dedicated server for webmail, dedicated server for sql, dedicated server for web sites. If needed, add a separate server only for your own , high-traffic site. As you grow, you can then add only the resource that you need. You might be able to host thousands of low-volume sites on one web server but need to upgrade your sql database server to a faster server or add a second one, etc. Similiarly, depending on the app you are using you might find your webmail server to

• HMC versus WBH

  Sorry if this has been asked before... Is MHC a superset of WBH? If we implement MHC, do we still also have to implement WBH for regular site hosting also or is that part of the full MHC deployment?

• Re: Asp.net 2.0 Free Web Hosting

  The solution: If you have an application written using Sql Server 2005 Express running locally on your PC, it can be successfully moved to a hosting service. However, you must have a hosting service that is "clueful" and willing to help. You must also have some basic Sql Server Management abilities (changing your web.config, editing connection strings, etc.) At a high level, here is why you can't simply publish your local database application and expect it to work: 1. Sql Server 2005 Express is not

• Re: Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator Service

  I don't think you'll find public hosting for DTC. Your best bet is to consider a dedicated server or a virtual machine hosting. Either one gives you full control over the environment so you can configure DTC and manage COM/DCOM as system admin.

• Re: Citrix Hosting Site?

  An equivalent way to accomplish what you wish is to use a virtual machine. There are several hosting companies now that provide VM hosting with remote access/login via terminal services.

• Re: Asp.net 2.0 Free Web Hosting

  I would guess that you are using Sql Server 2005 Express Edition to support roles/login provider in your web application. More than likely, free hosting does not support databases. Most hosting providers have ASP.NET base accounts that do not support databases and then offer upgrades or add-ons for database support.

• Re: What about Frontpage server extensions after MS Expressions comes out?

  My understanding is that there isn't a direct replacement for FrontPage. You will choose to migrate to one of several toolsets depending upon your primary focus: Visual Web Developer / Visual Studio -- These are available today for ASP.NET 2.0 and would be the choice if your work is primarily programmer/application centric. Microsoft Expression Line - Three new products (Expression Graphics, Expression Interactive, Expression Web) some are in CTP preview, none are released. I'm not sure Microsoft
