QB Enterprise and TS/Citrix?

QB Enterpise is actually officially supported under Terminal Server by Intuit. (Quickbooks Pro is NOT supported under Terminal Server, but it DOES work).

QB has a "Whitepaper" on ES that talks about using it with terminal services. See

Do you happen to know if I would need to grant TS users "Power User" rights? This is very poor administration and I will avoid Intuit if I have to do that. I know you have to do it on XP Pro with Quickbooks Enterprise.

I think you need to give users admin rights though. Very scary when they are on a server. I know that on XP Pro QB Enterprise requires Power user rights (still bad), do you happen to know if the same goes for TS?

Where do they find their developers anyway? Do they even know what security is?

I know that with QB Pro on a Terminal Server, my users need Power User privledges. I suspect that this is also the case for Enterprise Edition, even though I have not tested this.

One way to mitigate this is to set up user accounts that will only run QBooks, and not show the user the desktop.
