Terminal Services installation on Great Plains server

[Guest Andrew]

Hello,

 

We run Great Plains 7.5 on one of our member servers (Win2003) in test

environment. Besides GP there is a custom developed application and SQL

Server 2000 installed on this box. We are planning to provide multiple user

access to our custom application through the Terminal Services (Application

mode). The best practice is to install Terminal Server on a clean machine and

then install software through Add Or Remove Programs. There is no problem to

reinstall custom application but will the Terminal Server installation affect

the Great Plains that can lead to GP redeployment??

 

Thanks in advance. Any help is appreciated.

RE: Terminal Services installation on Great Plains server

 

What is typically done is to install do a clean install of the Server

Standard OS, Install Terminal Server, then install the client application,

i.e. the GP Client, and the client portion of your custom application. The

backend databases should be running on different servers, except in

environments where you have only one server.
