We have been using MS Terminal Server for access to TMS for >five years. The
benefits
Macs have access
No client is installed across desktops
Upgrades are done at a single point
Consistent method of access for Mac or Windows users (aka Remote
Desktop)
Several of the items have already been mentioned, but the one point I stepped
into mention was the support of local emulation software on the Macs. In our
case we were looking at Parallels (again some time ago) - and what really
concerned me was when the instance on the Macintosh failed, it took a fair bit
of work by the helpdesk to get it working again. I didn’t want 20+ of these
sitting out there.
Best,
