"I'd love to hear why people would recommend Citrix over TS 2008"
http://www.dabcc.com/article.aspx?id=9771 At my previous employer, we had several customers that tried moving from Presentation Server 4.5 to TS2008, gave up and moved back. IMNSHO, TS2008 just doesn't scale well for large enterprises unless you have some very experienced people around. Webster From: David Lum [mailto:david....@nwea.org] Subject: RE: Citrix or Windows Terminal Server? Last I checked TS licensing was far cheaper than Citrix - see if there's a big price delta. If yes, then see if there's any reason the cheaper solution wouldn't work. If no big price difference do you have any in-house knowledge that knows one app better than the other? I am in the midst of standing up 2008 Terminal Servers to replace our aging Citrix Metaframe and 2008 R2 TS is very easy to set up. To add into this question, I'd love to hear why people would recommend Citrix over TS 2008. TS 2008's application management is far better than previous Terminal Server versions.

From: Webster [mailto:carlwebs...@gmail.com] Subject: RE: Citrix or Windows Terminal Server? Windows??? Do you mean 2003, 2008 or R2? If 2003 or 2008, 32-bit or 64-bit?

Windows - the application is Tessitura (http://www.tessitura-network.org), and is used for CRM & Ticketing for arts organizations. From: Webster [mailto:carlwebs...@gmail.com] Subject: RE: Citrix or Windows Terminal Server? What OS will you be hosting the application on? From: Sean Rector [mailto:sean.rec...@vaopera.org] Subject: Citrix or Windows Terminal Server? Hello, We're looking at hosting an application for several other arts organizations. My thinking is that we should use one of these two technologies - but I'm not sure which one. We're behind an ISA 2006 firewall, and we're looking at increasing our internet pipe to Cavalier's Ethernet over Copper product (from a T-1) at 5M. Whichever setup we go with, what logon set-up would be best - we're running a 2003 AD (soon to be 2008 R2). ~ 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
