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.
