If a shared DOS program is served off a W2000 Professional box, the box can only handle 10 concurrent mappings to that share, due to the limits of the OS.

If we served the shared DOS program on a box running W2K Server 2000 (not a DC), would that allow more than the 10 limit set by Professional?

Thanks

 
You will be limited to the number of licenses you have which can be defined as either per server (limiting the number of connections to the server) or per seat (each seat must have a license). If you plan on doing this, you should make sure each copy of the program running is using seperate memory. Should one copy crash, it won't bring them all down.
 
So, Seaspray0, if we have 12 clients, each with an OS license, 2 licensed copies of W2K server (one is the DC, one serves the DOS program and is not a DC), and 25 CALs, we should be all set.

There would be more concurrent connections allowed to the non-DC server running the DOS program.

Right?
