terminal server apps

[Mike]

I have an application that is currently using a "peer to
peer" environment
to operate in the network. Can anyone deny or confirm if
this application
will work when installed in a Microsoft Terminal Server
environment. I
would hate spending the money to set up a Terminal Server
environment and
not be able to set up this application. This is a
business application that
is set up on 2 computers and has a "Master" and "Client"
with the C: drives
shared between the two computers. Both computers have a
copy of the
application installed. I would like to place this
application on a Terminal
Server and access it from there. Any help would greatly
be appreciated.

Without knowing what the application is it's impossible to confirm what it will and will NOT do, however most applications work with minimal or no adjustments. As far as spending any money to test, you can download & install a trial version of Windows Server 2003 onto a spare desktop computer to run any tests you need.

Never heard of it before. The two options are to either get confirmation from the manufacturer that it will/will not run in a multi-user system like Terminal Services, or setup a test server and client to conduct your own feasability study
