First – a brief overview: we have 40 computers (not all on same hardware platform – Compaq/HP/Clone/IBM – nightmare). We have have 2 SQL servers running accounting/insurance programs and file/print server. We are looking to standardize the company(whether it be through hardware or software), implement an efficient disaster recovery plan for the desktops, & implement a remote access solution so employees can access the client/server applications that either run from the network (files are located on network) or have a SQL backend. A consultant has brought up Terminal Server and I am impressed by the technolgy but wondering if this solution is suitable as it could be costly. The IT dept. is a one person show for the most part so I am looking for a solution for the long haul with little administration once it is setup. I realize there may be compatability issues with the client/server apps and if they run on Terminal Server – but saying they do – would this be a proper solution? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.
