Is there a way other than upgrading to XP Pro to get an XP Home PC to connect
to a Windows 2000 TS (Domain) and not get a temp 90 day license? I have
numerous remote PC's that have XP Home and only get a 90 day temp license. I
know that Windows 2000 Pro and XP Pro get the unlimted access, but is this
not the case for XP Home?


Thanks for any help,

Dan

No, an XP Home client needs a purchased TS CAL to be able to connect
to a Terminal Server. So you either have to upgrade to XP Pro or buy
TS CALs.
