Eric,
Thanks for you feedback. Can you tell me more about WTSLocation and why
it's needed?
James

James,
We run Cerner on a farm of just over 200 servers (Win2K and PS3) for
just over 4000 concurrent users. We also have Password Manager 2.5
deployed for about 1500 users (selective enrollment).
WTSLocation is a requirement for a successful implementation from a
printing and location list aspect.
I would be happy to share more via conference call if you would like

Subject: [THIN] Cerner Millenium Implementation
Hi all,
I'm a newbie to this list, so bear with me if not asking or presenting
the right information.
We are a large health organization in Western Canada (BC), and currently
have a Metaframe XPe farm that is hosting around twenty clinical,
financial, and business productivity apps.
We are about to undertake a large clinical information systems overhaul,
using Cerner's Millenium software and have procured additional hardware
and licensing for this purpose (details of new and existing farms
below). The clinical applications that Cerner is providing will be in
addition to existing clinical applications currently published.
We will most likely build a separate farm for this install. It remains
to be seen whether we use existing build architecture/process (ie. XPe
on Win2K), or build from the ground up with Pres Server 4 + Win2K3.
We are also very interested in the potential of implementing Password
Manager into the Cerner environment, to ease the burden on the
clinicians, as well as to automate enforcement of security policy, etc.
I'm very interested in hearing any comments you might have re: similar
type implementations or installations, including any directions,
"gotchas" , glitches, must-haves, etc.
Cerner is strongly recommending the use of a product called WTSLocation,
which they claim will aid in directing printing and user profile
directory management. Any comments on this product and its need?
Existing Farm
Metaframe XPe SP3/FR3
Windows 2000 SP3 (I know, I know...testing migration to 2000 SP4 or 2003
now!)
12 HP ProLiant DL360 G2/G3s
350 Concurrent User Licenses
(Peaks at 250 users currently)
New Farm
Metaframe version to be decided
Windows 2003
13 HP ProLiant DL360 G4s
300 Concurrent User Licenses
(Future expansions to 1000+ are planned)
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
