Razzak,
Definitely cannot wait to see these items at the conference.
Frank,
Me too!

In between now and then may I ask a few questions ?
1. What version of Windows TS are they using (2003 or 2008) and if
both, do you see
any difference in one over the other as far as occurrence of
printing oddities, etc?
Mixture of both 2003 and 2008 (R2).
Make sure to install the latest drivers for every printer used on the network.
2. Does the Database have to reside on the TS to achieve these
performance gains?
Majority of my clients keep the database and applications (Compiled
and Non-Compiled)
on the same server.
Two clients keep their database and applications behind the DMZ.
3. What about OBDC connections, do these connections affect
performance if they come
from on or off the server?
No problem if on the same domain, same or different server, with
mapped/UNC connection
to R:BASE 9.1/9.5 (64) databases.
4. Lastly, RWeb Suite, are there any issues or performance
reductions running a web
server (Apache/PHP) off of the database ?
None.
We keep the web server separate from the terminal server with
database and applications.
Dedicated Web server running Oterro 9.1/9.5 (64), Apache/PHP using
Mapped/UNC connection.
We are looking at an upgrade to one of our divisions and changing
all of the users over
to a TS maybe something I will consider factoring into the project.
From the operations side of running a business, there are really
only two things that
are important: time and money. The great thing about Terminal
Services is that it can
save you both.
From a time-saving perspective, Terminal Services lets
administrators install, configure,
manage and maintain applications centrally on a few servers. This is
usually much faster
and easier to do than deploying applications on hundreds or thousands
of desktop machines
at different sites across an enterprise.
Centrally-deployed R:BASE (Compiled and Non-Compiled) applications
are usually easier to
maintain (for example, patching and upgrading) and simpler to
troubleshoot when things
go wrong. As a result, downtime is reduced and users are more productive.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
