Does anyone know where you can find best practices for remote
connections? The reason I ask is I have over 20 users that work
remotely. They use a RDP session to connect to our server through
a VPN. The problem is I have several differnet types of
connections. I have some that use wireless to their ISP, DSL,
Cable, and satelite. The wireless and satelite sem to have a lot
issues staying connected.

Depending on what you mean by 'wireless' - that makes sense to me.

VPN depends somewhat on timestamps - the lag/delay such connections will
experience will cause drops in the connectivity more frequently than other
types of connections.

If you mean wireless to their home router which is connected to some sort of
wired DSL/Cable Modem/etc... The wireless makes less sense - but I got a
feeling you mean strictly wireless all the way to the home? (And Satellite
even warns you that it is unlikely to work with VPN connections.)
