"I am not sure or am not understanding the user for server 2 in your scenario. I would just run AC on the first server. Plus, you can only have one SBS on an domain as the SBS server will have to have the FSMO. What I would do is build your first domain with everything on the server, then add the second server and either run Windows Server 2008 Standard or the Premium Add-on. The latter allowing SQL Server but really no difference. Not being SBS, it can be a second domain and also function as your TS/RDS server. TS is not used any more. Remote Desktop Services Server is the official name. Then clients both on the network and from home can log in and run their own sessions or see the whole desktop. These users will all need separate CALs.."
Bert,
Thanks for your reply. I might need some updating with Tech terminology, but what is FSMO? Is it Flexible Single Master Operations? "I am not sure or am not understanding the user for server 2 in your scenario" I am using zero client terminals (hardware) called Ncomputing and need a pc to power these terminals. It does not function like a desktop. In other words, these are dummy terminals without a HDD or applications in it. Since Windows 7 professional is only good for 1 pc 1 user OS, I opt for a server.
So, please allow me to clarify your suggestion. I might just re-word what you said earlier. So can I use SBS 2011 essentials to install all my applications including AC and medisoft for server1? Then, for server2, can I use Windows Server 2008 to function as a terminal server to power my zero/thin clients in the office and to function as a RDS server during late hours or weekends user access from home? With this setup in mind, Will server2 (Windows server 2008) be able to access AC from server1 (SBS 2011 essentials). The thing is Ncomputing only allows for in-office use. I don't think that I will be able to access these terminals while at home. So the users will to access server2 directly and open AC. Would there be a delay or for the processing and communication of these servers. At this time, there will be only two users that will access the server remotely, me and a physician. I don't need exchange nor sharepoint. All i need is for my users to use AC and Medisoft.
Thanks again
