What does IoT even mean in this case? I've always been unclear on it..

IoT is not a real term, it doesn't mean anything specific. It's a loose reference to devices that you'd not expect to be computing devices that are networked, but are. POS doesn't fall into that category. Your toaster, microwave, or fridge would. A sensor in your attic might. Thermostats really can't be considered this any longer, they are full computing devices and expected to be so, now. So they've left IoT, IMHO.

IoT is a useless term based around the cluelessness or expectations of the observer. It is always subjective and can't be used in any technical context.

Lmao, I love it. I always though it seemed like an odd/vague term.

Nah. I'd just have her machine setup so I could SSH in as root. Nobody has time for that sudo business.

She was being weird, I didn't want to subject anyone to that. LOL

Claims he knows nothing about what a CAL is. But also claims that he knows that he's never needed them. How he can know so little but then know so much... makes no sense. He's an IT Service Provider, but doesn't know the most basic things about using Windows.

"What exactly is a CAL?"

A reason not to use Windows.

Probably managing very small environments where he has never had more than 10 connections. I am not sure Windows Server governs CALs very closely, or at all if you dont configure it.

From my experirence with Windows Server (not using remote desktop services), there's no technical limitations regarding CALs. It's pure licensing costs (and revenue).

It doesn't govern them AT ALL. And you need CALs regardless of the size of your environment, so size doesn't matter. He claims to have used Windows Server and that means he has to know CALs (either because he directly had to buy them or he had to choose Windows Server versions that specifically allowed him to work without them.) It's that you install Windows Server is the act that requires that you be aware of CALs.

Correct, CALs are paper and it's a human requirement to be on top of them - making it that much more acute how much he wasn't doing his job as the admin.

Like with RDS Cals, its stops working if you dont add them, but with user/connection Cals for clients I dont think its enforced. More of an issue if you get audited.

That's unique to RDS, nothing like Server CALs.

Right but he is talking about user/connection CALs, which you can configure on the server to keep yourself compliant. But it wont stop you from using excess connections if you dont configure it.
