Server 2008 thin client requirement - Advice

[Guest darren.ashley@yahoo.com.au]

Hi,

 

 

 

Colleague of mine wants to remove laptops from his organisation and go

with thin clients. No probs there. He has only 1 physical server, and

would like to upgrade to windows 2008 at the same time. Is 2008

running DC, and terminal services a supported configuration ? Would

need to be app mode as there will be 5 clients....

 

 

 

I could stick a VM in Hyper-V I guess for the TS reqwuirement, just

want to get people's view on the best solution.

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello darren.ashley@yahoo.com.au,

 

The point is that for security reason you should NEVER use a DC, doesn't

matter which OS, for Terminal services.

 

Best regards

And the recommendation for Hyper-V is to run NO other role on the host

OS.

 

There is no reason not to run it under Hyper-V with two vms in child

partitions, one running as the DC and one for TS.

For 5 to 10 users, just purchase a separate high-end workstation and

install 2003/2008 on it as a terminal server.

 

I just build a SBS 2003 Prem solution on a small server and then added a

HP workstation that I installed 2003 Server std on as a terminal server,

they access everything from the co-location facility.

 

Oh, and we have clients that use "Any" laptop and then use RWW or Remote

Desktop with no software installed on the laptops, which means they can

purchase any cheap laptop for their remote users.
