Thus, customers with no plans to deploy Windows Server R2 could save by purchasing licenses sooner rather than later. Customer wants SA coverage. A customer considering whether to buy a Datacenter license with SA just before Nov. However, if a customer is choosing between buying a license with SA today to get rights to Windows Server R2 and buying the license-only that is, without SA later under the new price, the license-only option is more cost-effective.

As with WS R2, WS Datacenter includes unlimited virtualization rights, meaning a server licensed for Datacenter may run as many VMs as the hardware can support. Many organizations purchase a license for a current version of Windows Server and then exercise downgrade rights to deploy a previous version, typically because a critical application is not yet supported on the current version.

Customers who purchase WS Datacenter may downgrade to any previous version of Datacenter, Enterprise, or Standard edition. Customers who purchase WS Standard may downgrade to any previous version of Enterprise or Standard.

This ability to use older versions of Enterprise will be useful for organizations that need to continue to expand their existing WS R2 Enterprise deployments.

The attachment of SA to the server license does not change the reassignment count-down clock. Although SA includes license mobility that allows customers to move Microsoft server-based applications into off-premises hosted data centers, it is important to keep in mind that customers cannot reassign a Windows Server license to a hoster's server that's being used in a multitenant scenario.

Right now with the standard Remote Desktop setup, they get the theme without start menu and can see the admin tools etc Why does it always seem like MS can take a 5 second process and make it into 10 min? Thanks for saving me the headache on this one. Due to some Citrix restrictions, I am only just now making terminal servers for the first time.

I am struggling to understand this new RDS. I have followed Molan's tutorial as well as many others and can't get it to work. At this point, I am willing to pay anyone out of my pocket to get it done. In my lab deployment there is no NLB anymore as Connection Broker should take care of the load balancing so when I connect using Remote Desktop to newcorporate.
