MS server 2008

Good screen shot of what Essentials server is about... (you get server licenses that are expected to run on different physical servers with Essentails)
http://blogs.technet.com/asksbs/archive/2008/03/11/difference-between-windows-essential-business-server-and-windows-small-small-business-server-2008.aspx

So, you get OS to install 4 seperate servers... based on what you want to do, Essentials is good but you don't get terminal server or extra RODC...

(also, don't put terminal services on a domain controller)

For license and software you need to decide what you want because ESB 2008 is available to purchase via volume license programs, system builders, and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

Dear All
Pls have a look :-
"Q.  How many hardware servers am I allowed to use to run Windows Essential Business Server 2008, for both the Standard and Premium editions?

A.  
The Windows Essential Business Server 2008 license grants you the right to run the Standard edition on up to three hardware servers.  For the Premium edition, you have the right to run the additional copy of Windows Server 2008 Standard on a fourth server.  Additionally, for the copy of SQL Server 2008 included in the Premium edition, you have the right to run it on a fifth server if desired.  In other words, you can run it on a copy of Windows Server that you obtained outside of the copies that are included as part of Windows Essential Business Server 2008."
Copied from here :" http://www.microsoft.com/ebs/en/us/faq.aspx"
Kindly Explan the same.
Awaiting for your earlier reply.
Thanks!

In Microsoft Volume Licensing you do not need to purchase multiple copies of the software media and the documentation that comes with the software.

Volume license keys can be used to activate multiple installations of the software; typically the license will limit the key to a fixed number of installations which must only be within the licensee's organization.

Prices for volume licensing varying depending on the type, quantity and applicable subscription term.

abhijitwaikar: Thanks for your reply.
Do you mean to say We have to tell microsoft that we need to install 5 Physical server under Windows EBS 2008 when we buy the Volume Licenses or do a agreement of Volume Licenses with MS.
Kindly advise asap.
Thanks!
DXB.

DXB,

I think most of your questions can be answered by looking at the FAQ listing you posted:

Q.  How many hardware servers am I allowed to use to run Windows Essential Business Server 2008, for both the Standard and Premium editions?

A.  
The Windows Essential Business Server 2008 license grants you the right to run the Standard edition on up to three hardware servers.  For the Premium edition, you have the right to run the additional copy of Windows Server 2008 Standard on a fourth server.  Additionally, for the copy of SQL Server 2008 included in the Premium edition, you have the right to run it on a fifth server if desired.  In other words, you can run it on a copy of Windows Server that you obtained outside of the copies that are included as part of Windows Essential Business Server 2008.

Q.  Does the Windows Essential Business Server 2008 CAL allow me to access Windows Server 2008 connected to the Windows Essential Business Server 2008 domain?

A.  
Yes. Windows Essential Business Server 2008 CAL Suite and Windows Essential Business Server 2008 CAL Suite for Premium Users or Devices can be used to access any Windows Server 2008 that is in the Windows Essential Business Server 2008 domain. Note, however, if you are using the Terminal Services or Rights Management Services functionality found in Windows Server 2008, you must acquire separate Terminal Services CALs or Rights Management Services CALs in order to be compliant with your license.

In other words, if you need Terminal Services access in your domain, you will have to buy an additional Windows 2008 server and buy TS Licenses separate.  So, you can add this functionality to your domain, but it is an external cost and is not automatically included in your EBS cost.

There is a real good trianing video on EBS 2008.  I suggest you get this as part of your planning.  It can be purchased here:  http://www.cbtnuggets.com/webapp/product?id=503

NJComputerNetworks:
It says I can install 5 physical server with the bundle of EBS 2008 but for Terminal server i must buy  a seperately license copy from MS....am I right now?
Thanks for the link,
Kindly advise.

At the time of purchasing you have to tell microsoft that we need to install 5 Physical server under Windows EBS 2008.

Prices for volume licensing varying depending on the type, quantity and applicable subscription term.

Thanks NJComputerNetworks for your support & hope to be in future as well.
Kindly have a look on my other question here & adcise me for the same.
