Windows 2003 SBE server as the DC and I need to put up a windows 2000 server as a dedicated terminal server

I have a Windows 2003 SBE server as the DC and I need to put up a windows 2000 server as a dedicated terminal server. I will have different users dialing into the terminal server but I only expect a max of 6 users at one time. What type of windows 2000 server software should I buy? How does the licensing part work as I want the terminal server licenses to be issued as people connect? Does the licensing service need to be installed on the 2003 SBE DC? Should I consider buying 2003 STD and spend the extra money?

Thanks,

Tom

With regards licensing server, yes it will need to be installed on the SBS.
As previously stated, if you use 2003 standard for TS then you will have to pay for extra licenses.
As an alternative and if you have the resources you could use RDP to connect to an unused XP Pro machine in your office and to use that instead of a TS.
Depending on the type of user and how they will be using it. If you could fill us in, it maybe a cheaper alternative.
