Ok, so I have a couple identical Dell Poweredge R320 servers.
I am wanting to set them up with bare metal Server 2016 Standard and use them for a file share with failover clustering for redundancy.
From what I am reading the failover clustering seems fairly straightforward to set up. Anything I should be aware of to make the process simpler/easier?
Now for the CAL question.
If I do not have a domain and just use a workgroup for the file share with "Everyone" being able to access the file share, does that require CALs?
It sounds to me like CALs are only needed if there is user authentication involved.. but maybe I am reading it wrong. Anybody know for sure?
