Anyone actually using OpenInsight (3.7+) with Citrix Metaframe 1.8 and MS 4.0 Terminal Server?

Thanks

George,

We have several customers succesfully using OI 3.7 with TS 4.0. Neither are using Metaframe though.

Thanks Tim !

Any else with Metaframe 1.8 ?

Tim,

What's your (or your users') experience in accessing your/their OI application from a remote location via Terminal Server. Does OI behave properly in this scenario? I know that the ICA architecture is supposed to help, but need to make sure that OI will work.

Are you also using WinTerm? Do they work with OI? Are you also using the NT services?

Thanks for any comment.

Ray,

We are not regular users of Terminal Server for running OI but we do use it for supporting a few clients. Also, some of our clients have their own customers using their licensed applications regularly in a Terminal Server environment. So, indirectly, I can say it works and can work well. This goes for ICA client connections as well as WinTerm boxes.

The only caveat I'll add is that the actual TS machine is itself a client to another server which is storing the OI application. Obviously, then, the NT Service must be employed. We do not have any experience with running OI on the TS itself.

Ray,

We have various different clients using Terminal Server solutions.

The general setup is an NT box running OI and the NT Service. Remote users connect through a separate Terminal Server box normally using in ISDN line. Performance is almost equal to LAN users.

The most recent installation replaced a PCAnyWhere'ish (it wasn't PCAnywhere but I can't remember what it was off hand) where only one user could connect at a time. They are now happily running with four or five concurrent users. We have other sites with twenty+ Terminal Server users. The spec of the TS box will depend on the expected number of connections.

FYI

The new Terminal Services Advanced Client, allows you to run terminal services without the need for installationm of the client side software. This Active X control allows you to run TS within a IE session.

Okay, but will OI in this situation ? Any experience - anyone?

Thanks,

Unfortunately this seems to only work for NT/2000 machines.

The client side activex control will work on Win 95/98, you do need IE5 however.

Where do I get that? The link you posted was for something else?

Same link, the activex control software needs to be installed on a Win2k server(or maybe NT, I have not used TS on a NT). This server would be running both IIS and TS. A client can then download the activex control when it is needed.

So (by way of example) if the user (95/98/NT/Win2k) logs onto this server http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/TSWEB/connect.asp, the active x control (if not already installed) will be automatically downloaded and installed on the users computer.

Thereafter the whole thing works like a standard TS session only the session is embedded within IE.
