office assistant (office 2003)

[Guest Ramon]

Hi,

 

Today I noticed one thinclient was continously using about 500k of

bandwidth. The problem was the office assistent. As soon as I disabled this

my bandwidth was normal...around 20k.

Is this a known problem? Can't read much about it on the net.

Anything with animation uses lots of bandwidth, but this feature is disabled

by default when Office XP, 2003 & 2007 is installed on TS. If you want

something that reduces bandwidth you might want to look at our enhancements

for the Microsoft RDP Protocol.

Another option is Expand Networks appliances that are placed at the end of

each corporate WAN link.

Patrick,

 

Thx for your answer. I don't know why but the assistant is installed on my

terminalservers. I will deinstall it. We already use in our TS environment

(8 TS Servers for 80 branch locations) a packeteer to manage bandwidth.

Re: office assistant (office 2003)

 

That's great, as it's important to guarantee enough bandwidth for your

critical services. what our product does is to replace the Microsoft TS

display driver with our own that draws compresses graphics and draws them

more smoothly. we are not doing QoS, but rather reducing the bandwidth

requirements for displaying RDP content, sometimes between 500 and 2000

percent so graphical content and animation can be displayed without consuming

enormous amounts of bandwidth. I did a test last week where using RDP 6.1

over a WAN link it took 60 seconds to render to content of http://www.live.com,

whereas with our RDP Graphics acceleration it took about 2 seconds. instead

of the graphics being slowly drawn from left to right, top to bottom in 64x64

pixel squares ours displays the content smoothly without consuming enormous

amounts of bandwidth. the URL I posted showed demo videos of the comparison.

 

I would still recommend uninstalling the Office Assistant, as this is an

unnecessary item.

Patrick,

 

Is it possible to install a trial version on our own network?

You can go to provision's website, register and download the software

Re: office assistant (office 2003)

 

The RDP Graphics acceleration bits are not currently part of the Virtual

Access Suite download, which is why I gave out my email address so we can get

in contact and I can get you the correct files.

 

Thanks Jeff.
