Posted by After deploying several Dynamics GP customers using the new Windows Server 2008 Remote Desktop Services (old Terminal Services), I must say that I have been quite impressed with the new functionality. It is now a viable option to use, and much more cost effective, then the traditional school of thought that Citrix is the way to go.
The previous limitations of past implementation seemed to have all been addressed, namely:
- Printing on client computers without having to install every print driver – Thanks to Easy Print
- Training user on how to manage two desktops – Use of Remote App
- Providing access to external users without the dependency on a VPN connection – Accomplished through the RDGateway
With limited exceptions, we now recommend the approach to all of our customers that are deciding the best method to deploy their new Dynamics GP solution. It is the best of both worlds in that IT no longer has the challenges in maintaining several desktop installations while the users get the rich application experience they prefer.
Anyone else had similar successes or challenges in using Remote Desktop Services?
