I want to have the funcionality of Terminal server on my Proxy/Firewall, but I just can't see that it is feasible, is someone able to prove me wrong??
 
One more thing, how do the services operate on a terminal server, are the identical to a bare NT 4.0 machine?
 
The general consensus is to only use a terminal server as a terminal server - to run any other major service is overhead and will negatively impact overall performance.

You could do it - if the only reason for doing so is so that you can log in remotely and get a GUI screen.Seems a bit of a waste of the additional expense, though.

For each users' terminal session you will need an additional 32Mb or so of RAM in the server - depending on what is run in the session.

To answer your second question, NT4 TSE has a rewritten kernel - it is not just NT4 with an added service.

Hope this helps
 
Ok, your advice is duly noted. Thank you! This clears up alot things.....
