Re: Anyone using VFP on Terminal Server ? Thread #852722 Message #854310

>>Hmm, don't really know all the details.
>>I wasn't involved into the servers themselves, just invented the ways how to set up our applications there, so they work no differently compared to the standard workstation setups. For one app we have about 300 "normal" desktop users and about 100 Terminal Services users from Montreal and Toronto.

>>Yes, the main thing is not the processors, but the RAM available, so that is the reason they have more servers.

>>>>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.
