How many Vista Ultimate PC's can join one domain?

I remember reading an article that said you can only join one Vista
Ultimate machine to the domain but I'd like to verify that before I
continue with this project. Are there any limitations to this edition
of Vista and domain environments?

Thanks,
Matt
 
The amount of PC's running Ultimate does not matter, what matters is if your
server can support the work load of PC's joining the Domain. Windows Vista
Ultimate is a retail version of the OS that only has 1 license per copy.
Licensing of the server also must be taking into account, if you have a
Server or bought a copy of Windows Server, the amount of CALs (Client Access
Licenses) should specify how many client machines or devices can access the
server.

Egad! Life is certainly a lot simpler with Linux!
 
Good for servers. Not so good for the desktop. And yes, I am currently
trialing the latest version 8.10
 
Linux and Windows both share technical merits. For a client connecting to a
Domain, that should not matter if the Server supports a certain amount of
connections, that's up to the IT Administrator.

If you have OEM licenses, do you need licenses for each server?

Matt
 
Consider 300 PCs connecting to one Domain controller? That server needs to
be able to manage transactions between the clients and take into account its
own requirements. No problem if you have only a few PC's or even 10 or so
connecting to one server. But if you are thinking about scalability and
growing needs of your organization, you must consider having a server that's
powerful enough to grow with needs of that organization.
 
The channel in which you receive the license for Windows Client does not
matter, whether its OEM, Retail or Volume License. The requirement is
support for that particular functionality, in this case Domain Join. You
will need to have CALs for each server in your organization that needs to be
accessed. So, if you have two servers, 1 a file server, 2 an Email Server
and you have 25 clients, you will need 25 CALs for each server.
 
Now tell me that a Linux fanatic like you does not know the latest version
of Udungto?

The problem you're having is called "attitude" and it's located between
your ears and has nothing to do with computers but with bias and prejudice.

I boot into Udungtu about 2 hours every day. So far I am not impressed.
