Proper way to handle a remote user for Quickbooks login
-
If you're asking if you can host a Win 7 (though why not Win 10?) VM on XenServer - yes you can. Now the question is, what licensing do you need?
If you have Software Assurance for the laptop you gave the CFO, then you need nothing more. If not, you'll need a VDI license for her, something like $125/year.

Wow, not nearly as much QB vitriol as I expected in this thread.

I have nothing, because my management doesn't procure laptops properly always. When I am able to get licenses things are golden, when I am asked to get things out the blue with no prep time we use whatever software the laptop comes with.

Quickbooks install on his computer and vpn into the network that has the quickbooks data.
Absolutely not. QB files over a LAN are stupid slow. I would hate to do it over a WAN link.

You can't VPN with Quickbooks it doesn't work like that.
You can, lots of people do it. Works exactly like it does normally, just slower.

Yes, going that path takes you down the dark road of one off VDI.
