Hmmm. Good point. This isn't clear from any of the license documentation I can find. It says you don't need a client license for web access to Web Server Edition, but I don't know if that includes pass-through authentication against a DC. One could argue that you're using the Web Server Edition computer as a "Multiplexing Service" for the Domain Controller computer, which would mean you would again be back to needing client licenses for everybody. Anyone have any official word from Microsoft on this aspect? -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
