New TS Deployment

[Guest RAJ]

Hello,

 

I want to install Terminal Server on an exsiting MS Windows 2003 Enterprise

Edition File, Print, database, & web server. What I want to do is install

QuickBooks and have users access QB via Terminal Server.

1. Can I install TS on this server without it effecting any of the other

rolls of the server?

2. If so, can I configure the same server to be a licensing server as well.

3. Should I purchase per device or per user licenses? I'm thinking per

device.

 

Thank you,

--

Did you check how high is the load of the server? But i would not do it on

this server, better use a separat machine with a good processor and minimum

4GB of RAM. Per user you can count between 40-70 MB RAM use.

TS Licensing server has to run on a Domain controller.

You need a Client access license for every TS user

Only 3 people are going to be accessing the server via TS. I'm going to

check and see if I have a spare server available.

 

Thanks,

Apart from the server load and number of TS users, you have to take

into account that installing Terminal Services will change the

internal tuning of your server (foreground versusu abckground

processes, services versus interactive sessions). So installing TS

could have a profounjd negative impact on (mainly, but not

exclusively) the database server role of the server.

The above is true for a W2K LS only. The OP has a 2003 server, and

a 2003 TS Licensing Server can run on any member server in the

domain.

No, you need a TS CAL for every client OR user who connect to the

TS.

If you have more clients than users (i.e. users connect from more

than one client: their office client and a laptop and their home

PC), then Per User licensing is cheapest.

If you have more users than clients (i.e. users work in shifts and

share their workstation), then licensing Per Device is cheapest.

Can't believe I am offerring help, but I have learned this. Unless you have

Quickbooks Enterprise. Or QB 2007. QB does NOT run in terminal services mode.

That is to say , if you have QB2005, 2006 look at the box. It will not run in

TS.

Older versions need a lot of tinkering, but they can be made to run

on a TS, without making all users Administrators:

I've always been told (and you get warnings after installing TS) that

previously installed applications may be affected. I think you are in

trouble if you just install TS....
