QNAP appliances can be integrated in AD and it works well. You basically add it
to your domain as
you would a Windows PC. Then you can set up permissions for the shares you
define on the NAS using
AD groups and/or users.
I have one in use at a small business since 2 years (model TS-459U-SP+).
Thanks for all the feedback on this topic...I am now better equipped to
make a decision rather than falling into the ooohh, shiny trap :-)

I have a TS-659 Pro II home and at work. I've used them for SMB (AD

that we have another EQ. It's mainly used as a backup target now and for any
kind of bulk storage users need. I still use the one at home for my
2010, and we use MAK.

Is it possible to have end-users use any sort of VPN technology to access
high-bandwidth apps?
Say if an app that is really chatty constantly talking back to a SQL
database, or an app that can at times burn 100+megs by itself.
And say 50-100 end-users could be
Off the top of my head, it's going to depend on the end users' connection
bandwidth, and the bandwidth available through the VPN. I don't know of any
ISP offering bandwidth comparable to your internal network.

Wouldn't something like Citrix XenApp offload the performance hit onto the
local network for your remote users? Granted, not your query, but it would
allow VPN users to use these apps without eating remote bandwidth...

A VPN will do whatever you ask, up to the limit of the bandwidth
available. System tuning is all about chasing down and eliminating
bottlenecks - you'll want to characterize the application(s) and the
bandwidth available at each end, and plan for that.
It is, however, something that WAN
An excellent point. This might well be a situation where RDP makes a

So normally the SQL traffic is between the users desktop and the sql backend?
VPN won't change that. But a remote desktop session would. Then the traffic
would be between the remote desktop server and the sql backend.

Use the VPN to create an inroad into the internal network. For those
bandwidth-hungry apps have the user connect to an RDP server; processing and
storage will then all be local. The user can later copy whatever information he
needs on his end.
And all this science I don't understand

So I've been working on my proof-of-concept RDS environment, to test
running a specific application as RDS. Here's something I've found out
about using self-issued certificates. (I have a Linux VM that I am using as
a CA, so I can issue my own local certificates).
Obviously, step one is to import
You are making this WAY too hard. Install certificate servicer on one of your
windows servers. Make it a root CA for the domain. Use IIS management console
and/or the certificates MMC to request and install certificates. Done.
Domain computers will automatically trust the root cert.

Using OpenSSL as a root cert is a fine idea, especially with a
two-tier infrastructure where you keep the root mostly shut down.
Using a MSFT CA as a secondary is a really good idea - it doesn't just
serve up IIS certs, it also serves up about every kind of cert needed
for an infrastructure,
XenDesktop is often overused where a XenApp published desktop will do, but
implemented badlyusers get set against it. If you can afford the XenDesktop
licensing, it's good, but the 1:1 nature of the machines means it has a lot of
overhead in resource and management.

That's a good point about VDI vs published desktops.
I need to read up on published desktops more before I get too far into VDI.
I have licensing for XenDesktop already(part of a deal Citrix did with
XenApp a few years back).

I have no experience with that.
However it seems that DFS is supported, but not DFS replication. You can find
more details here:
http://wiki.qnap.com/wiki/Dfs. Extract:
QNAP firmware supports DFS in the form of a feature called Folder
Aggregation and Portal
Folders. Keep in mind however, that
Just to clarify - there's no such thing as IIS certs. Certificates for
setting up a HTTPS session require only single OID: server authentication. The
wizard in IIS generates a certificate request that requests a cert with only
that OID, and a Windows CA has a built-in template called web
Something must be wrong with your XenApp implementation if users hate it.
