My company has file sharing through our wireless network, but we don’t have real-time data sharing via our Microsoft Small Business Accounting software. Does Windows SBS 2003 R2 allow program sharing?
This question has two parts. First, you can install applications such as Small Business Accounting (SBA) on Windows SBS 2003 R2, and you can have as many employees access that program as you have SBA client licenses. Employees then use the SBA client interface to access the server and work with data stored on the server. Second, if an application is not built specifically for client/server operation, it is still possible to “share” that application by installing it on a server with Windows Server 2003 running in application sharing mode. Application sharing mode lets users connect to the hosted application as if it were running on their desktop. Windows SBS 2003 R2 cannot run in application sharing mode due to security considerations, so you must purchase a separate server to share an application using this method. Talk with a Small Business Specialist about the specifics in your environment and see how the various software components can fit your business needs.
