Hi,
We have two offices running AC. The main office has Server 2003 with many workstations on the network but only 6-7 running AC locally and using the server for the database. The satellite office has three computers in the local network and no server -- two hard wired and one laptop.
We would like to use one database for both offices, preferably on the Server 2003 at the main office.
People have discussed LogMeIn as well as just using RemoteDesktop Application that comes with Vista and XP Pro.
Several questions:
[1] Any reason to buy LogMeIn vs using Remote Desktop? Advantages and disadvantages of both?
[2] At the satellite office do we run AC locally and remote in to database on server? Is this possible or practical OR do we login to server, then open AC on server and login on server copy of AC?
[3]Can multiple people run AC on server (obviously under different user logins)?
[4] If we are remoting into main office Server 2003 do we all remote in separately from all three satellite computers as above?
[5] With internet speed of 256 up and down at both sites is this possible or practical?
[6] I am worried about scanning in documents, labs, consults letters, etc. at the satellite site. Will this work or will speed limitations make the entire system or our office efficiency come to a screaming halt or crawl?
ANY and all suggestions on how to pull this off greatly appreciated. If my needs are exceeding practical limitations of AC please advise and ANY good recommendations greatly appreciated. We were planning on linking the two offices sometime this summer.
Best,
