[THIN] Re: Question about Windows 2003

Drive mapping is supported on different Windows platforms. The only requirement 
is to have the latest RDP5.2 client installed on them (works fine on 
98/2000/NT/XP).
Even Linux clients support local drive mapping when connecting to Windows 2003 
TSs.
Local drive mapping is simply a share/map mechanism through the RDP VC, exactly 
like Citrix.

Keep in mind that drive mappings support for 2003 is for Win XP Pro clients 
only.

Win2kx supports load balancing (it's horrible in 2000, better in 2003 but 
requires(strongly suggested) your switches to support IGMP) but it also doesn't 
scale well with a large number of servers.

Subject: [THIN] Question about Windows 2003

One of my bosses is looking that he features of Windows 2003 Terminal services 
and wants me to detail why we should keep citrix when it would be much cheaper 
to drop it and use only 2003.  I am currently looking at what 2003 Doesn't have.

We currently have a about 10 citrix servers in 2 farms serving close to 1000 
workstations, all of them remote.  So far I can think of 
1) Change everyone from Citrix clients to Terminal server client software
2) NO published Apps for centralized application control
3) No Nfuse
4) No load balancing?  *I havent read very far yet so I'm not sure of this
one)

Apparently Print mapping and drive mapping ARE supported in 2003

Anything I am missing?
Currently we are still at NT4TSE and MF1.8SP2
