I have a scenario with a customer where they have a new server waiting to be installed. At present they have a SBS2011 STD license.
They have an immediate need for an RDS server as well. In 6-12months time their LOB software will be converting to SQL.
I don't think the new server is man enough to run everything (ie. 2x VM's - SBS and a SQL/RDS). I also have the issue that the LOB software is fully supported by the provider, and they want full access/control of the SQL server.
My question is, is the following acceptable/do-able in terms of licenseing/supported configuration.
Physical server1 - Hyper-V (from prem addon license), VM1=SBS2011, VM2=SVR2008 as RDS (additional license)
Physical server2 - svr2008r2 and SQL from Prem addon.
Therefore license wise I would be purchasing SBS2011, Prem addon, SVR std, SBS CAL's, Prem CAL's, RDS CAL's
Any other suggestion or alternatives?
