Client moved from old virtual 2K3 server to newer 2K12 server. They use an IT vendor to manage all of their IT setup. They connect via Terminal Services if I understand correctly. Apparently this legacy VFP application is run from the server by all users. Performance is inconsistent, with many times it getting almost frozen for some unknown reason. Other times it's fine. No good rhyme/reason standing out. A/V and other scans have the VFP app and data folders excluded (or so I'm told). For those who have worked with VFP apps in TS mode, any tips?

"IT vendor to manage..."
Is this a "cloud"-hosted service? Have they applied the Meltdown/Spectre patches? Supposedly, especially in a virtualized setting, those can really slow things down.
We have not applied any of those patches here.
We use RDP here with a virtualized Windows 2008 server. Application runs on that server, and the data (VFP tables) are on a virtualized 2012 server on the same hypervisor. It's blazingly fast, no matter where the end user is. Faster, in fact, for many users, than running it on a desktop in our building.

Is it a HyperV server? Check if it has BroadCom network cards. Our VMs ran like a dog until we disabled VMQs.
