Yeah, I would like to do that. That is why I am asking for other people's experience. The developers will be using a VPN to connect, then the management wants to use terminal services to advertise the various development packages and code archiving software. I think a virtual desktop or other VM solution would be better, but I have no experience with these in a remote development environment either. We do use Vmware extensively.

Give your developers a virtualised development environment to use? They could either run VMs on their local workstations, or connect to VMs running on a central set of servers (or some combination thereof). That would allow you to completely isolate your production environment from test/dev/UAT environments, yet allow you to have exact replicas of production in each of your other environments. Cheers Ken From: Steve Kelsay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 1 January 2008 12:37 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Terminal Server and Developer images That pretty much says it. My management wants to create a server with developer software on it, and have developers from across the country remote in and all use the terminal server to develop systems. Has anyone tried this with developer software? Microsoft has, in the past, indicated that multiple users on their development software is not a good idea and they did not support it.
