Re: Add serial/comm ports on SBS



Couldn't agree more with Henry on this one
With Terminal Server, the only thing that gets passed over the dial up connection is keyboard, mouse and video...perfect for a 33kbps connection
With Regular RAS dialup they would actually have all the DB data trying to go back and forth over that really really slow connection. Data could easily be corrupted

Hi Stephen,
If you had said "Only Direct Dialup Access" I could understand, but if they have "Dialup Internet Access", then as here with country regions of Australia, TS is the way to go. It uses far less bandwidth overhead and so is far more suited to Dialup Internet speeds.
(You do realise that as each of these 8 Customers will require an SBS CAL as they will be authenticating to the SBServer.)

The location of the DB is irrelevant as it is the responsibility of the front-end application will establish the connection to the data. The TS users just need the Front-end application loaded.

Cris - Thanks for your quick reply. some of my customers ONLY HAVE DIAL UP
INTERNET ACCESS, so I have to provide them with a workable connection on my
end. I would like to consider a Term Svc solution for those with broadband
access. Is there a good MS guide on implementing TS in SBS network, where
the DB is residing on a member server?

You do understand that Dialup RAS is going to be incredibly slow and most
likely your customers will not be happy.
Are you hosting 8 separate databases for your customers??

You need to seriously consider a Terminal Services Server for these
customers...much better experience
