We have a large number of Windows 2003 TS Cals which we have configured as
user Cals. Basically there is one per employee. Our first TS cluster is
authenticated. No problems or issues here.

We are putting up a second TS cluster in our domain where the authentication
will be anonymous for a captive and single purpose time-reporting
application. (The application has its own authentication and cannot utilize
Windows authentication.)

The persons who use the new TS cluster are exactly the same persons
(employees) who use the authenticated TS cluster.

I believe there are no license issues even though the licenses would not be
handed out to individuals as intended. Any comments? Agree/disagree?
 
Re: license question

Agreed. Just configure the second TS to use the Per user licensing
mode and point it to the same Licensing Server as the first one.
A Per User license gives your users the right to connect to
multiple Terminal Servers.
