Are you using for managing the servers, or for doing other activities? Because the "free" Remote Desktop you've been using is only provided for the purpose of server administration. If you want more than that, you're supposed to buy add-on Terminal Server client licenses. Server 2008 is no different than 2003 in this regard, both functionally and licensing-wise.

We have been using remote desktop on a 2003 server for a couple of years. We have a couple of dozen who use it regularly when offsite. I use it all the time from outside the museum and also to connect to other servers. I only have eight servers, half 08 and half 03. No problem for me connecting to these. I have 10 server 2008 licenses but if I add remote desktop I have to get licenses for this, in addition, right? Or does server 2008 include this for free like 2003? I have been thinking about this for awhile and need to find out before I make the move. Additionally, are there actually any advantages to going to the new remote desktop? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
