Remote Access with Terminal Services

I want to allow users remote access to C&P and plan to execute it with Windows 2000 Terminal Services. Has anyone ran C&P on Windows 2000 Terminal Services? If you have or know someone that has, how well does it run?

Thanks.

Terminal Services and Windows 2000 is a very impressive combination. Although I have not used Terminal Services with Clients and Profits, I have used it with very complex applications and remote software installation and it has not failed me. I would have to think that Terminal Services and Clients & Profits can co-exist happily.

In production no. In a test environment yes. It works great. Look at Cytrix if you want Mac clients to be able to get to it.

We have been running C&P on Windows 2000 Terminal Server for almost a year. All remote locations that are accessing C&P are running in a Windows environment. In theory this should work great, but we've hit a few snags that we are still working out. The biggest problem is that if you run into a problem C&P will tell you that they don't support C&P running on terminal server.

We had a problem trying to print to network printers, but finally with some help from Microsoft we found a workaround.

Our latest and most aggravating problem has been that when a user who has been in C&P logs out of terminal server it locks up anyone who is still using C&P. This can cause a lot of problems if you have a lot of different users inputting data. Our temporary solution has been to have each user "Disconnect" their terminal server session rather than "Log Out" until we can come up with a permanent fix.
