Users can connect to the Sage 100 server from anywhere on the network they do not have to come in through the Terminal Server. The Sage 100 Server can be a Windows server that meets the minimum system requirements for Sage 100. Because the Sage 100 server is doing all the processing for each of the clients attaching to the server, having the additional burden of running RDS will significantly slow down the server. This server should not have RDS running on it. Install Sage 100 as you would any other installation. Separating out the workstation and server components allows users coming through Remote Desktop Services to take advantage of the client-server architecture of Sage 100.

This limits the amount of processing and resources required by the Terminal Server computer. From there, they run the workstation component and connect to the Sage 100 server. Remote users connect up to a Windows server running RDS. The Sage 100 server application should be installed on a server within the LAN that is not running RDS/Citrix. The Sage 100 server supports running through a Windows Server with Remote Desktop Services (RDS) enabled. Note: This article applies to Sage 100 Advanced and Premium.
