Re: Computer build ok for my server?

Terminal Services is a "role" for Windows Server 200X. It allows for
applications to be run in a mode called Application, while SBS only allows
for Administrative mode.

Think of it as a multi user workstation. You dial in from out side, over
the internet or even via dial up modems, and give your credentials and then
you can work just as if you were sitting next to the TS computer. Only the
screen refreshes and keystrokes are passed over the connection.

It requires another copy of Windows Server, and another box. Can be very
cost effective if you have lots of remote users, but not so effective if you
have only one more user than you have workstations on the LAN.

I may have missed it, but do you have more users than you have workstations
on your LAN? If not, each user can just connect to their desktop when they
are away and use the access table without passing it over the internet. It
is a one to one Terminal Service connection, where the true TS is a many to
one.

TS is not free though, each user will need a one time TS license, costs
about $90 ea.

Oh... forgot to mention this. What are terminal services?

The thing I'll flag which nobody else has so far is the remote access
bit:

You can do this via RWW if you can spare two desktops when this remote
access is needed. Or, you can, perhaps, as I do, dedicate an old machine
to providing a desktop for such remote access,

You don't want to use the administrative sessions on the server for this
purpose--that's both risky and not within licensing bounds. And, you
don't want to add a true terminal server for two sessions, probably.

You won't want to run an Access database via a VPN connection unless you
are in a locale such as Korea or some Scandinavian countries where
broadband may mean 10 or 100 megabits per second. You need Terminal
Services,

Hi all! I'm new to servers and wanted some quick advice on my new
system. I plan on using the server for 5 computers and want to
accomplish these tasks:

1. share files locally
2. allow remote access to files
3. sync Outlook
4. allow remote access to an Access database (probably 2 connections at
a time max)

This is the server I was considering at Dell. Adequate? Thanks!
