CAD Worker question

Hi All,

I have a question regarding CAD Worker set up. Does anyone run CAD Workers
on the Windows Server platform, or do you stick to the PTC Support Matrix
for Creo and use XP or Windows 7?

Our IT Security Policies seem to interfere with Workstation OS's much more
that Servers.

Thanks,

Ben

By the way, our other division here has their workers all running as VM’s. So no graphics card at all.

Since we put together our publishing hardware a good 4 years ago, and at the time I was under the impression that we needed a graphics card, we have rack mounted dell workstations as our workers. That’s ok, because there is less overhead on our Windchill VM’s, but if I were to do it today, I’d go all VM.

Thanks David! U R da man!

I'm not surprise that the PTC techie wasn't aware of this, but I still find it rather odd.I also find it interesting that the worker runs on VMs as well. I don't suppose you know if there is any performance issue running the worker on a server or VM?

Best Regards, Dave
