Guest The Doctor Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Hello Windows Server Experts. I have a prospective client that wants us to build a Windows Server as follows: 1) They need to access Simply Accounting from that server. So far the license is for 2 users 2) They want to remote access the server for informatin and printing off data 3) I prefer they use secure access. Cost is secondary to the purpose of the above mentioned. Currently this customer is accessing their Simply Accouting from a home using DSL and there are 2 computers so that gotomypc.com client can work. I wish to streamline this and make it secure and easy. I am looking atthe Windows 2003 Server line. Your suggestion and clarification please. -- Member - Liberal International This is doctor@nl2k.ab.ca Ici doctor@nl2k.ab.ca God, Queen and country! Beware Anti-Christ rising!

Guest Paul King Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Re: Deciding on a remote application Can I ask, when they want to print - do they want to print locally or remotely at the server end? Either way it sounds like a job for Terminal Services which you will be pleased to know is kinda free with Windows 2003 server. Regards Paul.

Guest Paul King Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 Re: Deciding on a remote application ....In that case Windows 2003 5 Cal would be more than suitable. You could potentially use Remote Desktop and configure this so that the local printer is used... Thus all information is still saved to one server. Regards Paul.
