I have a terminal service server in CA state. My clients
are in Detriot. They access only one application the
terminal server windows 2000 server. There are about ten
termainal users.

I am thinking of putting up microsoft office 2000 on the
server as well. How would this affect the users and the
server. My assumption is that this will give them faster
access to Outlook then outlook over the VPN. Even running
access quries because primary all are production servers
reside in CA. The remote ( detriot) office has a DSL
connction only while CA has two T1 lines.

How would the entire secanrio of putting office affect
the server here in CA and clients in detriot.

I always thought that the terminal service is just a
visual desktop. It should have no affect on bandwidth as
we are not transferring any data from T1 to DSL or vice-
versa. Just your input.

If I am wrong do you think there is lot of bandwith used
per connection. How can I monitor that.

Also, is there a way with win2000 and XP machines can map
their C drives with server Windows 2000.

Thanks,
JS
 
The TS should be faster for any application that needs to talk to CA if they
are trying to use it from Detroit as the TS is in CA.
Bandwidth should be around 25kbps per user but varies a lot if they print a
lot for example.
To access the PC local drive you have a couple ways if using Windows 2000
TS:
1. Freeware called TSDropCopy from AnalogX. Free but not supported/updated.
You get what you pay for.
2. Third party tools like my FTPRDP.
3. Competitors like WTSFTP.
