I am thinking to install a terminal server and get enough licenses for off-site users to resolve the problem of accessing shared data via VPN for off-site users. Can the following be achieved? 10 off-site users are logged onto the terminal server and use Outlook, WORD, Excel among other programs at the same time from the terminal server.
Some off-site user has an office desktop computer, the person connects VPN, then use remote desktop to log onto that office desktop computer, and it works good. But for 10 or more people, we want to use terminal server as the solution. Since this will be my first terminal server installation ( if we take this route), any input will be appreciated.
My client's off-site users are experiencing problems to access the shared data on the office server. Their computers are locked up when they try to open some WORD, Excel, PDF documents ( 30-300kb, very small ) after they connect VPN to the office server. Office Internet is a full T1 connection, and off-site users are using T-mobile cellular wireless cards on their laptop to connect to the Internet.
The office users are using local LAN connection to the server and it is working very good for them to share documents from the server. So I know that the problem is not with the server.
The client has 10 off-site users who need to share the data on the server on a daily basis.
