Question : Terminal Services Pros and Cons

Hi,

Please can anyone provide me with Pros and Cons with Terminal Services on Windows Server 2003. More CONS please!!

A package has been bought that needs a 100meg LAN, but has been deployed over a 1meg WAN !!( lol - I was not involved!)

Needless to say - performance is crap!

It has been suggested that TS is used, but it goes completly against our model. I have to build a case for the IT Manager.

Any advice/past experiences would be useful.

Answer : Terminal Services Pros and Cons

You should make sure that the application will run in a muti-instance environment because obvously if you are running a TS server and 3 people log in and open the app, then it will be running 3 times on that one box. apart from that TS should be fine.  You could also consider Citrix, although expensive it is very good.  Once you have deployed a TS you could then also open it up so people can work from home.  Sorry no real con's here, I happen to like Terminal Server.
