[itdiscuss] Thin clients?

[Thompson, Ken]

You might want to speak with Nick Hulsey in our office - 678-823-0036 or nick.hulsey at mtw.org<mailto:nick.hulsey at mtw.org>. He has been MTW's "go to" person for 2008 Terminal Server install. He's also been working on our thin client implementation. I think he would have some valuable info for you Tony.

Also, you're always welcome if you'd like to stop by for a "look see" of our implementation.

Subject: [itdiscuss] Thin clients?

Anybody have a thin client solution they really love?  Specifically, are there any great answers to:

1)      Local printing (USB printers) and corresponding print performance?

2)      Local scanning (USB scanner)?

3)      Full featured web browsing (flash, YouTube, etc.)?

The story behind the questions.  A client is looking at moving *everything* from a local server room to a hosted environment and considering going to thin clients, with the idea being that pretty much all on-site support is eliminated.  The hosted environment would be Terminal Services on Windows Server 2008.  I'd welcome comments on the overall concept, but I'm really looking for answers regarding good Thin Client solutions.

Thanks,
