Strategy to Remote Desktop multiple users simultanously
I have a about 10 quite old WinXP PC's whose owners now moved offsite but
still access documents and applications remotely using Remote Desktop (RDP) from their Laptops. Pretty infrequent access. I wanted to consolidate all this data on a single server where each person could now login using RDP. What's the best solution? Unfortunaltely WinXP wont allow multiple users to login at the same time. What server type should I be looking at? I have max 10 users and not more than 3 RDP at the same time. I installed Win Small Business Server but could only RDP to it as admin. User account RDP always failed for lack of sufficient privilages. After lots of debugging I suspect that Win SBS is wrong for me. It does too many other things: e.g. runs IIS, dhcp, and other stuff. I believe it set itself as a Domain Controller too. What seems the best way to go? Is Win Home Server going to do what I need , maybe? Unfortunately I can't find a spec. on how many simultanous RDP users it supports. What'd be nice is a server that's an end in itself. A lot of SBS stuff looks like a gateway to other PCs. I'm only used to doing Remote Dsktop; but SBS seemed to be trying to do VLAN's, Remote Services and a bunch of stuff I am doubtful I need. -- Rahul |
