I am curious what everyone is doing who don't use ProjectWise and still have their staff working from home and from the office using MicroStation & OpenRoads Connect edition with a networked workspace. Currently, we have the majority of the staff WFM (Working From Home) and a couple who are in the office. The WFH staff access the corporate network over VPN.
We have the products configured to look to a specific network location for Configuration (i.e. J:/Configuration/) in ConfigurationSetup.cfg that is pushed to each users C:\ProgramData\Bentley\<PRODUCT NAME>\Configuration folder by IT using AD/Group Policy.
The staff who are working in the office have no issues however, the WFH staff experience extreme latency in file access and general operation when in a file while on the VPN. Some of the WFH staff occasionally go to the office. To help with some latency, I have setup a BAT file that copies the network version of the environment to the WFH folks local workstations (C:/)
Aside from manually copying a local version of ConfigurationSetup.cfg that points to the local Configuration folder, what else can be done?
Is anyone else working in a similar situation and what are you doing to help with the latency issues?
Thanks in advance
