I have Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 server GPServer1 and MS SQL Server SQLServer1. I have created a shared folder (GPSshare) on FileServer1 to share excel refresh-able reports and invoice templates, GP dictionary files and so on. I would like to avoid the file server dependency to reduce the financial system down time. Meaning, I don't want GP to be not accessible by 50 users because the Fileserver1 down. Do you think, its a good practice to create and share (GPShare) &nbsp;folder either from GP server or from the SQL server. The GP server is a session host (terminal server - meaning 50 people access as desktop). I would like to know the best practice so that I can cut down the downtime considering the GP being the critical application for us.<br />
<br />
Purpose: <br />
Avoid dependency from a file server. <br />
Avoid file sharing complication, if there is any from a session server.<br />
Optimize the uptime by avoiding the dependencies.
