Was thinking how to formulate "MSTSC should be fast - measure what is slow" with enough data and/or hints - glad you did <g>

>What part of the performance is "slow" - retrieving the data, or displaying/navigating through it? I ask because in the past I've had users complain of "bad performance", when they're scrolling to the bottom of a grid with many rows by clicking on the down arrow and holding it down, rather than dragging the thumbnail or clicking between the thumbnail and the down arrow. Sometimes with issues like that it's just a matter of a few minutes' training.

>You say you have a workstation where performance is good. Can you test what the performance is like while remote-controlling that workstation? That will isolate whether it's a problem with Remote Desktop or whether it's lower performance in the Windows 2008 R2 session compared to the separate PC workstation.
