RE: TS 2008 in CPA/Accounting environment
I recall doing qbooks in a few TS machines and we always had to modify the 2 qbooks registry locations in HKLM which a user doesn't have access to by default. That worked both times without issue. This is on 2003 TS. I would be more concerned with going with a 2008 TS with all the unknowns with different software vendors unless its explicitly supported/verified to work.

I am discussing the possibility of installing a new 2008 TS for them. I was wondering if any of you have any experience with TS in an accounting/CPA environment? Any gotchas that weren't evident at first? Should I expect issues with using TS on x64 with LOB apps? My biggest concern right now is Quickbooks. They have about 6 different years/versions of Quickbooks that they must use to work with different client's files. From what I know, I think Intuit only states that TS is supported in the Enterprise versions, not the Pro. But my guess is that many people use it that way anyway. Any insight?

Re: TS 2008 in CPA/Accounting environment
We have desktops with six versions installed. I wouldn't expect it to be that much different. It is a pain, but doable. Occasionally run into problems with PDF printers installed by multiple versions od Quickbooks, but that is the most persistent issue with multiple version on the same PC. wjh NTSysAdmin wrote: The only versions of Quickbooks that's supported on a TS is Enterprise.
