Been running a setup like that for over 6 years. It’s great. Support is ridiculously easy. Desktop refreshes aren’t bad either and that’s one of the most difficult projects for an IT department to pull off. We’ve done a couple of them now - once to add RAM, disk and CPU and another to change the desktop image. Deployments and big jobs like opening new offices or big moves are simple.
The video is easy to fix with a fast network or Apex PCOIP accelerator cards, although those are being replaced by expensive server-side GPU’s these days. We have some google earth users and a few others with gpu tasks. A couple Apex cards in a couple of the servers took care of that.
The only thing that completely sucks is USB storage devices. They are painfully slow. Most people accept it because they are rarely used in our environment and everything else is faster than any other system they’ve had.
- hobs 7y agoPrinting with terminal services still kind of sucks and for large print jobs there's still third party print services, but otherwise I'd agree.
- jm4 7y agoIt’s not terminal services. We are using VMware horizon. Printing is fine. USB scanning is a little slow but most people don’t seem to notice.
