Windows Forum / Virtual PC / April 2008Can Virtual PC Support multiple users??
meaning can I setup a machine that is running virtual pc and then setup dumb terminals with just a monitor, mouse and keyboard?? and if I can what do i need? Ive read through the first 20 or so pages on this forum and havent found anything yet. If someone could help me out with this it would be greatly appreciated. Well, back to reading now. Thanks! No, not really, not by itself, you'd have to run something like Win2003 with a terminal server role, and then you'd have to have something more than just a keyboard, mouse, and monitor to attach with.

Something very different from a KVM, more like: http://www.ikonnet.com/en/product/hishare.htm It'd probably be cheaper to buy separate PC's...

Well, back to reading now. Thanks! another solution, if you cannot have more than 1 computer at this place: use an iMac, run parallels on it and you can install there as many virtual machines as you like, each of them running a separate windows. If one of them is spoilt by viruses, only delete it and take a copy from a fresh one. The question is not how many virtual machines can be installed with VPC. VPC and Parallels are no different in that regard. It still depends on the OS installed in the guest as to what you can do. In any case, just as many Windows licenses are required no matter which virtualization program is used. > another solution, if you cannot have more than 1 computer at this > place: > use an iMac, run parallels on it and you can install there as many > virtual machines as you like, each of them running a separate windows. > If one of them is spoilt by viruses, only delete it and take a copy > from a fresh one. >Something very different from a KVM, more like: >http://www.ikonnet.com/en/product/hishare.htm > >It'd probably be cheaper to buy separate PC's... http://www.ncomputing.com/ncomputing/products/direct.php This will do what the OP needs for only a couple hundred dollars, just add kbd, ms, and monitor. There's a blog post about a school using them here: http://virtualizationreview.com/blogs/weblog.aspx?blog=2121 SignatureCheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ I do not work for Microsoft. |
