WINDOWS NETWORKING ("Peer-to-Peer")
In situations where a workstation is to be substituted for a true file server, we strongly recommend that the operating system for the workstation be Windows 2000 Professional (Service Pack 4 or higher) or Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 3 or higher). For Windows Vista or Windows 7 users, please refer to the CaseKnowledge article regarding file corruption when using Windows Vista/Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 with Server Message Block (SMB2).

Terminal Services
A Terminal or Citrix Server can host Working Papers program sessions for users. Requirements include:

• Microsoft Windows Server 2008 with Terminal/Citrix Services
  
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with Terminal/Citrix Services
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Server with Service Pack 4 or higher and Terminal/Citrix Services (Note: See here for Microsoft’s end-of-support policy for Windows 2000.)
• Citrix MetaFrame XP, Presentation Server, XenApp 4.5

• Server hardware configuration needs to be scaled (RAM, CPU) for the number of sessions to be hosted and the applications and templates used.
• For optimal performance, Working Papers client files should be stored on the Terminal/Citrix Server or connected to it via a high-speed network connection.
