Running a remote app

I have a dilemma.

We employ a multi user accounting software that is installed in a server side shared folder but executed client side. The problem is I'm setting up a satellite office that also needs access to this software, but the VPN connection over a T1 isn't enough bandwidth to run even a single session. I know I could go the RDP route but I'd rather not if at all possible. I talked to the vendor and they no provision for local app/remote data access. I guess enterprise deployment wasn't on the forefront of the design process. So, does anyone know a work around that would force the app to run server side but display locally? I'm open to third party apps or even a TS hack that doesn't require a full on RDP session. Thanks.

You need to setup Terminal Services on the server in question. Then RDP into it.

I was afraid that was what I was going to be stuck with. Thanks.

What kind of Accounting software are you running?

Try the RemoteApps, TS will create .rdp file that you can distribute to client computers and they will be able to do the work on the server. They will not get the full RDP desktop.
