Great, Thanks for the answers. I agree once you get things fine-tuned, maintaining a TS environment does save time and money. This will definitely be factored into my upgrade project. See you at the conference...

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?

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.

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.
