Acumatica and Windows Terminal Server

October 16, 2014 by Tim Rodman

Acumatica and Windows Terminal Server

The title of this post is actually a joke because Acumatica doesn’t utilize Windows Terminal Server.

But I was reminded of that fact recently when someone at work was getting a windows error upon trying to login to our ERP software (Sage 500). The problem was that we use the remote application feature in windows terminal server so that when a person closes Sage 500, it doesn’t actually close completely. The windows session continues to run in the background.

You can tell windows server to kill the session after a certain amount of “disconnected” time has passed, but the best you can do is 60 seconds. So, when someone closes the ERP application, they have to wait 60 seconds before things completely close down and they know they can re-open it in a brand new state.

I personally don’t consider Windows Terminal Server to be a real “cloud” option.

Anyways, this is just one of the many windows-related things that you don’t have to deal when with using a web-based ERP product like Acumatica.
