Windows Server Forum / Exchange Server / Design / June 2005Exchange 2003 Front-end Back-end licensing question
I am trying to find out if it works to have an Exchange 2003 Enterprise Edition Back-end server and use an Exchange 2003 Standard edition server for the Front-end. Also I would like to know what limitations this senario might produce. Also when building a front-end back-end model what licensing do you need for compliance ( i.e. do you need CAL's for both servers or just one or some combination?) Example Back-end Windows 2003 Server Exchange 2003 Enterprise 200 Server Cals 200 Exchange Cals Front-end Windows 2003 Server Exchange 2003 Standard Edition 20 Server Cals 20 Exchange Cals 200 mailboxes on back-end server 180 users connecting via Outlook 2003 client 2 mailbox stores 20 OWA users connecting via Front-end server Will this example work correctly and is the licensing correct? If anyone can answer part of this it would be great. I can also provide more info if needed Thanks >I am trying to find out if it works to have an Exchange 2003 Enterprise >Edition Back-end server and use an Exchange 2003 Standard edition server for [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > >Thanks Licencing is a question for you and your local VAR or MS Office. broadly speaking you don't need CALs for your FE. You just need the server licence (Standard FE to Enterprise BE is absolutley fine btw) You need a server licence for the BE and all relevant CALs for the clients or devices. Again, boradly speaking, you are likely only to need One Enterprise licence, One Standard licence and either 180 or 200 CALs, depending on what your local MS office tells you. Thank you Mark. I will contact my Microsoft rep to discuss licensing options. I just didn't know if the different versions would co-exist. MVP's are one of Microsofts greatest ideas! > >I am trying to find out if it works to have an Exchange 2003 Enterprise > >Edition Back-end server and use an Exchange 2003 Standard edition server for [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] > licence, One Standard licence and either 180 or 200 CALs, depending on > what your local MS office tells you. |
