FM Server 5.5 and Terminal Server 2000

[pmusaev]

Currently our organization uses Windows 2000 Terminal Server to host our Filemaker databases. The HUGE drawback we face with this setup is the multi-user capabilities that [seem to] lack. All the files we require to be multi-user are setup as multi-user and anyone working within the LAN can open multi-user files. Remote users can open files, but once they have a file open, it is not accessible by anyone else, until the remote user closes the file. This is causing us big problems and we are looking at our options in removing this holdback. I would appreciate some feedback as to how others are using Terminal Server and FM Server 5.5 and if a solution is even in existence to negate this problem I am faced with. Thank you all in advance.

Are you saying you have FileMaker Server installed on the Terminal Server? Or is the FileMaker client on the Terminal Server and FileMaker server on a different server?

If you have FM Server hosted on a separate, dedicated box per the server best practices, each Terminal user(client) will be seen as a separate user and separate session.
