Hi CNCtech,
1. There no stupid questions here. Yours in particularly is a very good question!
2. Intelligence may be questioned however for people who neglect to include information about system configuration, versions, etc ...
Anyway, back in July Altquark (Jon Steel), posted what seems to me to be a definitive answer for how to approach this problem (given you already have an investment in TS / citrix). The text of his post is repeated below. The thread was on the subject of remote OneWorld Development and Support.
--------------------------------------------------
"I would strongly recommend NOT using a Terminal Server to run the tools - however, you can still take advantage of Citrix ICA to run your development - I describe how to use VNC in a Citrix Session on my Website.
What you need to do is install a development workstation with VNC Server software (its a little like PC Anywhere - but a lot better, and much more server based than client based and it works under Citrix unlike PC Anywhere) - then use the VNCVIEWER.EXE in a Citrix session to control the development workstation.
Between the Development Workstation and the Citrix box you'll be using VNC which is high traffic - just like PC Anywhere - but it will be on a LAN, so it doesn't matter too much. However, between your local workstation and the Citrix box - you'll be using ICA to ensure that the traffic is low and response time is high !
I love helping to remotely administer OneWorld systems using the above architecture - I can pretty much do any task in the Citrix session including package builds !
By the way - VNC out to the internet isn't too bad either - better than PC Anywhere - and I have a Palm V with Wireless internet access so I can launch package builds from the airport !
