RE: Searching remote servers in your own company

Good point. I'll have to see if IT Dept. is willing to permit Remote
Desktop access by the unwashed. 

 

No doubt they have the Remote Desktop server installed for their own
access, but whether they'll let anybody else touch their babies...  :-)

Kevin...I don't know if this is THE answer, but when I need to search a
remote server, I first create a Remote Desktop Connection to that
server, then launch the search from within that server. This eliminates
the traffic between my machine and the server.

a company fileserver (that lives in another city), the search eventually
times out... but only after tying up the bandwidth for my co-workers.
That's because all the search action happens on my computer, using my
CPU, but creating millions of transactions down the fiber to the server.
