Any
issues with Terminal Services...since Oracle doesn't support Terminal Service's use?

  Me
  too.  We've got our 4 Production Win2k servers (2 Oracle8i servers, 2   Webservers) at a colocation facility and have used either PCAnywhere or   Terminal Services to access them over the Internet for the last 9   months.
  <SPAN

  The
  developers have never needed to have access to the servers except to put in   the Cold Fusion CD to install CF Server.  I've only needed access once,   to load some big files that I later imported into a test db on one of the   servers (actually, that's when I put in the CF CD, to save the developers a   trip).  Even then, I really didn't need to be there, I could have   transferred my files via PCAnywhere.
   
  If I
  were the SysAdmin I would have needed access a couple of times to replace   failed drives, but the colocation guys took care of that.  I recovered   our Production db remotely after they replaced the drives.   <SPAN

  It's
  very nice to be able to PCAnywhere in to those boxes from   home.
