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.

To quote the email sent: You can run all versions of QB Pro on Terminal
Services without giving users administrative rights.

 

The key is very simple.  Right-click the short-cut to the QB executable and
select properties.  Select the Compatibility tab and select the checkbox
that says Allow non-administrators to run this program.  That is it.




As was already indicated, it's not supported but it works.

 

Good luck!

Hi all,

I have a 25 person accounting form as a client. 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?

Thanks for any input.

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.
