Thanks Nick.

Always good to know a little more about these fancy tools.

While I *guess* that a multi-processor system can help with minimizing the physical 'server' box count, I suppose that RAM causes a need for more boxes too?

Finally (are you sorry you replied now < s >), are peripheral services like LOCAL printing, internet access, drive/folder sharing different between Citrix/TS?

cheers

>The initial app setup is a little different than on the workstation. I run a local copy of EXE (updated with Launcher application), so that means creating the corresponding folders in a user's local share on the Terminal server. Since there are typically more than one Terminal server for the balanced workload, that means that this folder structure is duplicated on every server. Also the number of colors is typically reduced, so it is better to use the pure colors in the app, so they would not appear as some colored patterns on screen.
