Hello,

We run Great Plains 7.5 on one of our member servers (Win2003) in test
environment. Besides GP there is a custom developed application and SQL
Server 2000 installed on this box. We are planning to provide multiple user
access to our custom application through the Terminal Services (Application
mode). The best practice is to install Terminal Server on a clean machine and
then install software through Add Or Remove Programs. There is no problem to
reinstall custom application but will the Terminal Server installation affect
the Great Plains that can lead to GP redeployment??

Thanks in advance. Any help is appreciated.
 
RE: Terminal Services installation on Great Plains server

What is typically done is to install do a clean install of the Server
Standard OS, Install Terminal Server, then install the client application,
i.e. the GP Client, and the client portion of your custom application. The
backend databases should be running on different servers, except in
environments where you have only one server.
