Yes, h/w will be a variable - but what drawbacks to running a server for
a business and also making it a TS in app mode?
Scenario - typical small client....
DC file server running win2k, DNS, DHCP, Norton AV CE, Veritas BE8.6,
diskeeper. They don't want to invest in a separate server for TS access
for the 5-10 employees (low volume use). If I install TS in app mode, I
would now need to install office and any programs they need for the 10
users to access.
I see the security risk if open due to the files being on the server and
not thru a share to another data server, but technically (beyond the
security), this can be done? I am trying to find the answer to many
clients I am pitching this thin client idea when they say, can I do this
all on a single server rather than two.
Thanks for the insight. I get spoiled at the main office here running 5
servers with different duties...but when many clients ask what I think
is pushing the limits, they want proof.

If the server is a p90 with 256mb ram, no...
If it's a 6 way xeon with 4gb ram then yes maybe.....
Depends on your specs of your hardware

I have stupid question...
If a client with 5-10 employees want to run Win2k TS and thin clients,
can they do this on their main win2k server? I usually recommend
minimum 2 servers - one for TS and another for their main server to hold
data, nav, backup etc.
Can a single server running in app mode - be able to handle 10 users
plus, norton av ce, veritas backup exec and misc. other programs? =20
