Re: Just installed WS2k8 x64 Trial!
TS RemoteApps is a great solution, even in a small office. For example, here
we run Office 2003 locally, and both of us are hard core Word 2003 users.
Neither of us wants to move to Word 2007 any time soon, if ever. But the
other Office apps we'd prefer to run Office 2k7 most of the time. So, I set
up TS RemoteApps and I run Word locally, and Outlook, Excel and PowerPoint
2k7 remotely. But they all look and feel like they're running locally. All
documents are stored on the main SBS server anyway, so that's not an issue,
and the drive mappings are all the same so there's transparency. If I want
to switch to my laptop and work out on the back deck on a nice sunny day
here in paradise, I have exactly the same experience as if I were at my
desk. And with SBS 2008, when I'm on the road I will have direct access to
my TS RemoteApps from Remote Web Workplace exactly as if I were in the
office. With a link to them on the RWW landing page. (I could set this up in
RWW for SBS 2003, but haven't bothered since we'll be migrating to SBS 2008
with the next RC drop.)
The only thing I haven't been able to do yet (and I'm working on it), is to
run both Office 2k3 and Office 2k7 from the TS. If I can manage that, I'll
remove office from my local machines entirely. Leave it on the laptop for
when I'm on the road and have connectivity issues, but otherwise work
entirely from the TS RemoteApps.
You can even set up TS RemoteApps to "capture" the extensions on a machine.
So, for example, you could double click on a .DOC file and it would
automatically launch the TS RemoteApp version of Word.
(on hyper-v, and your 939's - sadly, you are correct. No hyper-v there. I'm
in the same position with a couple of boxes. )
