Applications on Terminal Services - Dynamics
This I hope is simple to answer but as it is Microsoft maybe not! We run a Microsoft Dynamics GP9 I am in the process of building new Application Servers that will be running W2K3 Terminal Services.
I really wanted to use W2K8 but have been told this is not possible hence W2K3
Each company has its own shortcut as it uses different ini and set files so for example to log into the Australia “company “ the Shortcut is
E:\Dynamics\Australia\Dyna
We have 14 live companies all with different shortcuts and different users have permissions to log into different companies. So I need to ship out different shortcuts to different users (not essential as there is different security inside GP but better)
What I was hoping was to create a shortcut for each "company" that would launch the application rather than a RDP so users can Alt TAB between applications running on their local PC.
I know that this is possible in W2K8 Terminal Services!
Can anyone advise as to the best solution?

Ok many thanks for you comments and sorry about slow pace of reply!
I was unable to lauch the relavant set files as I wanted from the users desktop. So have reverted to the original concept of TS ;
Users simply connect to TS Server (Desktop ) and from there they have all applications that they need from 14 icons of the country to Excel / Outlook etc.
We are doing load balancing and testing at the moment so will report more later.
The Fin Dept have also now asked for a review of 2010 so this will allow us to use W2K8 TS and all
wonders that entails.
Really appreciate your iput and all the traps that you warned us about where there!!
