Windows networking

Microsoft Terminal Server

For users who access CaseWare products from multiple locations or would like to improve the speed of accessing their files within the same location we suggest exploring Microsoft® Terminal Services.

This multi-user server provides the ability to host multiple, simultaneous client sessions. Terminal Server is capable of directly hosting compatible multi-user client desktops running on a variety of Windows-based and non-Windows-based hardware.

Microsoft's Terminal Services can be further extended with the use of Citrix Systems.

To install Time on a Terminal Server, that can include Citrix, follow the steps in Section 3.2 of the CaseWare Time Getting Started Guide, which provides instructions for installing Time on a network.

Microsoft Windows Small Business Server

If you use Windows® Small Business Server in conjunction with Time be aware of the number of users and connections. Small Business Server is typically suitable for small and medium enterprises with up to 75 workstations or users. Ensure consideration is given to both the user limit and the connections required per user on all server activities.
