Check out Teamviewer for remote management... >>> Fergal O'Connell <foconn...@curamsoftware.com> 12/8/2010 3:25 PM >>> Jim, A user will pretty much RDP into their desktop and therefore have full access to the full development environment - all other core services that are not public lie OWA etc.
Another option that is management and I have to consider is using a 3rd party vendor to provide the solution for us - like logmein.com etc Win2008 R2 TS is something else that I have too look into but have very little knowledge or experience in that area. -----Original Message----- From: Jim McAtee [mailto:j...@zolx.com] Sent: 08 December 2010 20:08 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Remote access - Allow employees work from home How many of these suggestions are being given in the context of a software development environment? What do the remote developers actually need access to? In many cases it's only to code repositories. Do they need RDP access to their desktops? What about build systems? Can Citrix be used effectively in either case without introducing a billion other headaches? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fergal O'Connell" <foconn...@curamsoftware.com> To: "NT System Admin Issues" <ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 2010 10:51 AM Subject: RE: Remote access - Allow employees work from home That's the plan - However I just wanted to bounce this off to see what other folks are doing - I might go with the Citrix solution but I will need to get pricing to see what the overall costs are. ~ 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 The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
