Terminal server

[Guest]

Hello, can someone please provide information on how to
setup and configur the following;

Client Computers --> Terminal Server ---> File server

Our goal is to allow 15 users to log into the Terminal
server and access the Acpac software that resides on the
fileserver.
The client's O/S is Win xp, 2K Pro and Win 98.
The File server O/S is Win 2K Server.

How can I configure the terminal and file server so users
can log into the terminal server and access the file
server application.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Example: You want to provide 50 people with old 133MHz Windows 95 machines with access to Microsoft Office 2003. Instead of upgrading 50 workstations at a cost of $40,000 (for new CPUs) you setup a Dual-Xeon Windows Server 2003, Terminal Server (Citrix MetaFrame optional) with Microsoft Office 2003 that users access from their old dinosaurs via Remote Desktop or Citrix Published Application
