I RDT into into the machining running a QB client all the time with a laptop. As a matter of fact, I use my laptop more than half the time with a docking booster so I can have a real monitor and keyboard. That screenshot was from my laptop logged into the headless system running the client talking to another server running the QB database.

That machine will be on the network. this is just a box to RDP into so my sales person can run QB Enterprise remotely. Bill, do you RDP into QB?

I really don't want to get Windows server 2012 and try to figure out the while terminal services thing with licensing. I was thinking it might just be easier since I only need one or two people to remote in just to get some headless PC's and sit them in a corner somewhere. Probably a bad idea but any thoughts? The specs from QB are: a.. Windows Vista SP2, 7 SP1, 8.1 Update 1, or Windows 10(32-bit & 64-bit) b.. Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, 2012 R2 c.. 2.4 GHz processor d.. 4 GB of RAM e.. 2.5 GB disk space recommended f.. 1024x768 or higher screen resolution, extended monitor is supported g.. 4x DVD-ROM drive
