Hi All,
we are, for various reasons, going to be hosting our intranet with a third party hosting company. it will be accessible via the internal network (VPN) & externally *to staff only* (a valid logon is required, the only unauthenticated publicly accessible page will be the logon one) the hosting company has said that it is covered by SQL web edition terms of use.
I'm not convinced anyone got any links to MS docs or similar to argue this? & also when (if) we are audited by MS who would they get to carry the can for this if it isn't covered?
(don't debate hosting it externally, making it publicly accessible, using something other than MSSQL, SQL express etc. Those argument have been fought & lost)
