Posted September 24, 200717 yr I am currently planning a budget for the next five years and part of this budget is going to include a domain upgrade to Active Directory 2008 as well as all the appropriate licenses. I am having a difficult time finding any initial licensing info on the 2008 product line. I was hoping someone could give their two cents on the following questions. All input is appreciated. Thanks. -Has Microsoft released any updated information on 2008 licensing structure and how it relates to Server 2003? -If we already have an environment with Server 2003 DCs and 2000/XP client licenses, will we need to upgrade all CALs when we move to 2008? -It is my understanding that other than the cost of the Server OS’s for the DCs and the client CALs, there is no additional cost to upgrade Active Directory. Is this correct? -Has Microsoft announced any CAL inclusion promotions with purchases of other MS products? For example, Microsoft included a complementary Terminal Service CAL if you bought XP Pro before April 2003. -Currenlty you can virtualize Server 2003 EE 4 times per license purchased. Any word on 2008 and virtualization? Thanks!
