And most people think that it is just SMB protocol or AD that needs CALs, but it is everything. From DNS and DHCP to web apps running on the machine to people connection to Linux machines running as VMs on top of VirtualBox on top of Windows Server - because those are just "more apps on top" and not a special case. It's amazing how many ways people connect to servers and don't acknowledge it.

When explaining that, I can usually mitigate the panic by letting folks know that having a Windows Server CAL covers you for pretty much all the services. Getting a CAL for User A means they can use SMB shares, AD, DNS, etc. without having to have a separate CAL for each service. ... Then we get to Exchange

Yeah, because they start thinking the need separate CALs for everything. They think they're "getting a deal" with this one CAL covering X stuff

unfortunately, dealing with UEFI sometimes makes things not boot, so I'm not surprised by this question.

Also he clearly stated in the thread that no media worked which is patently false. If no media worked then windows would not boot either.

He's certain what licensing he is going to buy, but has no idea what licenses are needed. Um, how can he be so sure what he wants if he doesn't even know how it works?

How do you make yourself reply to those? I just never feel like it... mostly because we've already posted the same info so many times already.
