All,

our small comany is gearing up to buy its first server. I have the hardware all lined up so that is not an issue (we are going 32-bit Intel).

However, our fearless leader is headstrong on getting MS Project Server.

Thats fine with me, but I havent the first clue about setting up all the supporting stuff.

How is client licensing approached? How does active directory fit in? We want MS Project Server so we can all access the system via the web as we are a distributed company. We also want our clients to get access to the website, so do we have to buy a CAL for each of them?

I've never messed around with AD or Exchange server. I have some experience with NT servers, but from years ago before AD.

Any advice? Anyone else been through this? Is this something I can do? Maybe there is a company out there that "rents" out its MS Project Server to small comanies like us? Anyone hear of such a company or better yet, use one?
