 The Start In parameter, f:\data\windward - This forces the user to only login to that particular data set. Can be useful if there are multiple data sets which have been linked in System Five, i.e. training data, etc.
-You can see the need to have each machine setup as a user on the TS as they have their own set of desktop icons which we add variables.
-Alternate setups can be used as long as the end product is each physical machine logging into TS has its own forced terminal number to system5 which we set in the above setup using the forcmachine=X on the REMOTE-STNx’s Desktop.

+===== PRINTING IN TERMINAL SERVICES =====
+The easiest way to print in Terminal Services is to setup a VPN and use windows printer sharing, which also makes it easy to transfer and setup drivers on the server.  This ensures that the printer names do not change on the server so that System Five printing preferences do not break, if you prefer to use TS printing you must make sure the printer names are not dynamic if
+Printer1 session1 changes to session2 printing will break.
+With the forced machines being specific to the station and the static named printing we ensure System Five Hardware preferences do not break.
+===== Do not run PIN Pads over Wireless Terminal Services networks =====
+ Ensure your a not running your PINPAD over wireless. We support Terminal Services via wireless, because there is not data being transmitted, just screen and keyboard, however PINPADs transmit data. Wireless networks will drop or delay data much more often than wired networks.
