when i add users with sbs "server manager" there are two
different ways of adding users and there not the same.
one is through active directory and there is another that
just says "users" there not the same lists, but when i
add people in through "users" my server is asking for
more cal's but when i add through active directory and
just add the user it doesnt, right now my server is only
using 5-9 cal's but as i play with the settings to figure
what works and what doesnt, i am knowticing that these
relly are two different ways of adding users, i only have
10 cals but i have 75+pc's about all of them with there
own lisence...so i thought, why is this happeneing to me
and how do i use each copy of windows lisence instead of
my cal's? also why is it that depending on where i add
the users (active directory or "users" in server manager)
i get different permissions? i.e. if i add a domain user
throught active directory i cant add a printer on that
users pc, but when i add a domain user through "user
management" i can then add a printer to that pc. what is
causing the differance, there both in the same groups
with the same EXACT permissions. even when i log on as a
admin and install the printer and log back in as the user
the printer is uninstalled and nonexistent, or greyed out
and not set as default and all applications respond
with "no attached printers found"
