I don’t use QB for customer tracking, just for financials and taxes. I wonder if that would make any difference?

The cloud solution is restrictive, which is good.

I’ve been running QB on a VM and giving my accountant access to the VM. Wouldn’t mind paying a bit a month for a consistently updated cloud access. If I could make sure I had a backup I could use offline in case of a problem/emergency.

How much does that cost? They take care of backups etc I would assume? How difficult was it to make the transition? I presume your accountant can get right in without having to create and transfer accountant copies of the DB?

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: • Windows Vista SP2, 7 SP1, 8.1 Update 1, or Windows 10(32-bit & 64-bit) • Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, 2012 R2 • 2.4 GHz processor • 4 GB of RAM • 2.5 GB disk space recommended • 1024x768 or higher screen resolution, extended monitor is supported • 4x DVD-ROM drive -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
