Thanks Webster From: kz2...@googlemail.com [mailto:kz2...@googlemail.com] Subject: Re: Remote Desktop Server (Formerly known as Terminal Server) Wasn't it some sort of screw-up as to the actual shadowing with multiple-monitor setups? I can recall finding out that Citrix shadowing stopped working on 2008 R2 if either shadower or shadowee had multiple monitors, and they blamed something in RDS for this. Don't know what exactly but maybe MS pulled it out because of this sort of fault.

I'd like to think it was some sensible reason due to an architecture issue, but more likely it's a checkbox missed along the way. "Oops we forgot that feature.

Thanks Webster From: James Hill [mailto:falc...@gmail.com] Subject: RE: Remote Desktop Server (Formerly known as Terminal Server) I've never been a fan of roaming profiles and prefer to use just folder redirection. With 2008 and above you have some new features that you may like to use. In particular Remote Desktop Gateway and RemoteApp. It all depends on what the current TS is being used for. If it's just for a particular app then you may look at just publishing Remoteapp's rather than a full session. Being 2008 (with increased security) Point and Print Restrictions is a common GP that needs to be configured. As Webster said, consider 2012 as well. The only downside is that if you regularly remote control/shadow desktops you will be disappointed to find that feature has been removed. So you'll have to use Remote Assistance or something else if you need that functionality. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
