So, does anyone have any experience with multiple monitors with any of
these technologies? Is it horrible?

On the Microsoft side of the fence, you would do this with App-V or MED-V;
included if you have Software Assurance I believe.

This sounds like a job for either VM Hosted Apps or XenDesktop. Looks like you
would need Private Image mode, but that is always open to debate.

Subject: terminal services/citrix/xen desktop etc for bean counters.
Anyone here had any success with using these technologies in an
accounting/CPA environment? I have a 25 person CPA client that is
interested in doing something to support working remotely for a few
employees and also opening a 3 or 4 person branch office in the near
future.
Lacerte and Quickbooks over a VPN just don't cut it. Some items that
make the project difficult...
1) They went paperless a couple of years ago and dual monitors for
everyone is important for workflow. So, we need good support of dual
monitors.
2) User rights. Everyone right now is local admin on machines. You
can
thank
intuit for making it near impossible to avoid.
3) Quickbooks (see intuit issue above) claims terminal services is not
supported in anything but their enterprise version. They are a CPA
firm
and
install multiple versions of quickbooks on workstations. Not sure if
using a
VM, rather than TS gets around this.
4) Software/Printer installs. Almost every intuit and CCH product
they
use
comes with it's own PDF printer that must be installed. This already
causes
the occasional printer driver problem on physical machines.
Anyone have any advice for what solutions would be right out or
deserve consideration? I just found out about Xen Desktop Express for
10 or fewer users. That has piqued my interest. The competitor to
that is VMware's View, right?
Thanks for any help/knowledge you can share.
