FILE SERVER/NETWORKS

Hardware
Per file server/network operating system recommendations

Operating systems:

Microsoft Windows 2003 Service Pack 2 or higher
Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 or higher
Novell Netware 5.1 or higher

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 2 or higher).

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

Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with Terminal/Citrix Services
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server with Service Pack 4 or higher and Terminal/Citrix Services
Citrix MetaFrame XP, Presentation Server, XenApp 4.5

Note:

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.
