Emory has worked out almost all of the kinks in its testing of a VM
installation of TMS in a Citrix environment using Adobe Lightroom as an
alternate viewer for source images in TMS Media records.  I¹m not an IT
person, but I¹d be happy to pass questions to our team members for you.  We
previously tested non-VM installations accessed with the TMS client and Mac
Parallels, but have consistently found our Citrix environment (in place
since about 2005) to be the most stable route, which is why we chose it for
the VM test.  So far so good.

Good luck,

Good morning TMSUSERS,=20

I would be curious to know if any of you are running your TMS server as
a virtual machine?  IT Infrastructure development here at Houston is
moving toward increasing virtualization of servers and our next server
(the one that will host both our test and live TMS2010 installations)
will very likely be a VM.  Would be grateful to all who would share
their experience with this if you have gone this route.
