Windows Server Forum / Windows NT / Terminal Server / July 2005TS and local COM ports? Can it work?
I have to setup Terminal Services for remote offices, but the remote offices have ADP payroll time clocks connected to the local computers serial port - not the servers computer. Can a terminal services user still use the local workstations COM ports in applications running on the remote TS server?

I migrated the domain and all child domains to 2003 already, but some apps that the remote offices use are too slow across the 2mbps VPN tunnels. Testing of them on a temporary TS server is quick, so now they want to move all offices (max of 10 users per office) to using a single Dual Xeon 3.2ghz/3gb server remotely for Office, MAS200, daily functions and just make the workstations workgroup computers in those offices with only RD connections available from them to the main office. I was just about to pull my remaining hair out when they said they have to also have local serial port connections - printers I already had setup, but didn't even think about serial ports.
