@dave: "I have a temperary assignment for a job. I need to setup a 5 - 10  users on
a server to use an ACCESS database application
via terminal services. can anybody please tell if its gonna work ? It's a
small company and have Rogers highspeed at 3 MEG.
Someone told me that with this type of connection the terminal services
would be slow once more the 2 two login at the
same time ? Please help."
    @jameskhan2k3: "Hello Dave, you have two issues to deal with. The version of terminal
services maybe an issue. If you are using the default terminal services that
comes with a standard Windows installation you will have a limitation to the
amount of concurrent users that can kayla49@example.net. The limit is two users
and the only type of login access that comes with a default installation is
Administrator access. This is the second problem. 5 - 10 users shouldn't be
a problem with a terminal services licenses for that amount of users with a
3 Meg connection. Let me know if you need anymore help.
Thanks,
James

    @dave: "Thanks James. Someone told me that if all the other users are using XP then
they each have a license of terminal services. In that case can't each user
use their own license ? Also, what if I recommand them to buy additional
licenses to put on their server ? so what you're saying is.. if we have
enough
licenses then terminal services will work fine on a 3 meg connection..
correct ?

    @jameskhan2k3: "Hey Dave, I'm not 100% sure about this XP terminal licensing thing. Here is 
something I found on the net.
Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server requires that you install a license 
server before the terminal server can function. A license server is a 
computer on which Terminal Server Licensing is installed. Using the 
following step-by-step guidelines and recommended resources, you can deploy 
Terminal Server and ensure that Terminal Server Licensing is correctly 
installed.
A 3 Meg link sure be ok, depending on the type of traffic that is needed. If 
all you need is a terminal interface to have the server do all the work, you 
should be good. If you need a lot of file copies and transfers of this type 
you may have a link problem. I hope this helps.

    @AmIAlive: "Hi Dave,
I will stick with what I (remotely) know: Active Directory Domain Win2K 
server. I have really no experience in stand alone server config. You need 
one machine in your domain to host the Terminal Server Licensing services or 
it will work only for 90 days (or so). Install the Terminal Services in 
Application mode. Any Win2K or greater has license for TS services. Win2k 
needs only the RDP client installed, XP has it by default. From licensing 
perspective another thing is more important: Access (Office) needs special 
licensing for using it in Terminal Server / Application Server mode.
You say you have 3Mb Rogers High Speed. This is Download bandwidth. Are you 
referring to the company's internet connection? 3Mb is not a lot since 
upload is only 384 K. If this link is available at the Win2K Terminal Server 
side, all the remote terminals will share only 384 K bandwidth.
What I know, on T1 (1.5 M symmetric bandwidth) 3-4 clients simultaneously 
seem to work the same (speed wise) as only one. I have never had more 
simultaneous users. I did reduce the color depth to minimum and I did remove 
the displaying for background / wallpaper . etc .
Good luck.
