Develop over RDP
Hi all Is it common practice to have developers RDP into a central server for the purposes of doing their day to day development? This is the first time I have encountered it, I'm used to developers having VMs on their local PCs. Kind regards Richard

I have heard of it but never had to. I think it would drive me crazy if I was unable to personalise my environment.

Re: Develop over RDP
I do development every day on either my VMs or Client VMs and use RDP 95% of the time to access them. As a consultant I am looking to move to something like a surface pro as my traveling machine and the depend on RDP for all my development environments.

Re: Develop over RDP
It's good for QA encountered faults, where IWOMM for the dev. You just RDP into the VM they have the fault on, and use the remote debug stub running on the VM, with VS back on your machine. Working from home, I sometimes VPN to my work box (from a Mac 27) - that's a lot less convenient, but workable, rather than mimic a VS running on Win7 running on Parallels Mike On Thu, Mar 21, 2013 at 8:07 PM, Richard Moore moore...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all ** ** Is it common practice to have developers RDP into a central server for the purposes of doing their day to day development? ** ** This is the first time I have encountered it, I’m used to developers having VMs on their local PCs. ** ** Kind regards ** ** Richard -- Meski http://courteous.ly/aAOZcv Going to Starbucks for coffee is like going to prison for sex.
