Configure Sage Timeslips for Microsoft Terminal Services environments

Sage Timeslips runs on Microsoft Terminal Services using a peer-to-peer setup when the server also acts as a workstation. Each network user requires separate preference, dictionary, and template configurations.

Terminal Server configuration

Use a peer-to-peer setup when running Timeslips on a Terminal Server that also functions as a workstation.

• Use different network logins when multiple users access Timeslips simultaneously
• Use the same network login when only one remote user accesses Timeslips at one time
• Timeslips doesn’t support sharing Preferences, Personal Dictionaries, or Timeslips Today Templates in a Terminal Server environment
