Hello Everyone,
A client of ours has an application for industrial food processing. It's running on a Windows 2012R2 server together with MS SQL Server 2017 (the APP Server). The APP server also has a SAGE50 client with an EDI component for SAGE.
The application's client does not use a client-server software design. Instead, the client exe file is on the APP server and it's is run from a UNC shortcut from each workstation. The latency has increased as we have scaled up, so we installed an RDS server on the same network segment as the APP server to reduce inter-network traffic.
Although the speed and network traffic issues have been resolved by the RDP server, the client executable crashes periodically when it's run from the RDP server. It does works fine when run from Windows 7, 8.1 or Windows 10 desktop PC's.
The developer is saying that in order to use RDP, the RDP/TS has to be integrated into the APP server. He is asking me to install RDP/TS roles on to the existing APP server.
Could installing RDP/TS roles on an existing production server break some of applications?
I am worried about SQL and RDS on the same server. Has anybody seen that before?
Any suggestions?
