More than 2 users accessing the server

Hi All.

Can anyone advise on the best course of action to allow, 5 users to access a 2003 server, to work on office etc.
Thanks Tom

Install Terminal Services to allow more than the 2 admin RDP sessions

Do you need them to work on Windows server 2003 directly or you need to implement active dirrectory services?

TechyMcse2k's suggestion will require you to buy TS CALs (either per user or per device). BUT, he's absolutely right that its the easiest solution since you want them to run office and other things of that nature.

You also need to take into consideration of course that if they are to access this server from off the intranet somewhere, then you need to configure a VPN connection for them too.
