I just want to cover my bases and see if there are any other lightweight reader alternatives designed for a TS environment.Alternative Remote Access Configuration - Remote Desktop - Windows OnlyĪlthough we have provided a number of remote access tools - Take Control (Windows and Mac), integration with existing TeamViewer installations (Windows only), the Remote Support tool (Windows only) and Remote Background Management (for Remote Command Line interaction on Windows machines) - we realize there are other options available to establish a connection to a Windows device and we have included the ability to utilize a selection of them from the Dashboard: Terminal Services, VNC, VNC Java Manager, Netsupport Manager or Remote Desktop Gateway (IE only). Just trying to do my research before blindly updating.

As mentioned in one of the comments, any added bloat to the Adobe Reader application in the 9.4 upgrade could cause some performance problems. I have at least 50 users dialed into the TS at any time, and they all open PDF's all day long because all of our files are scanned that way. I should have been more detailed in my description. Can anyone recommend a better alternative for a terminal server environment than Adobe PDF Reader? Any gotchas when installing in a TS environment? My googling hasn't really answered my questions completely and Adobe didn't seem to have any information pertaining to this situation available (unless I just missed it). It does not perform poorly now, but I am worried that the update might cause some unwanted slowdown in performance.

Before I just go ahead and update it to version 9.4, does anyone have an experience with a better PDF Reader for a terminal server environment? Right now, I have Adobe Reader 9.0.0 installed on my Win 2003 Terminal Server.
