Not good to support on a vessel that can be anywhere in the world.
What do you mean by this? The AD and RDS servers wouldn't be on board? I suppose it boils down to training, but surely training to rebuild a thick client and learning to use the RDS server (the AD could be set and forget really) shouldn't be a stretch.
This being said, I very much prefer Ignition's way of doing this where it downloads the application to run into the PC without needing anything out of the ordinary on it. Thin clients, if well configured on the network are pretty good for maintenance to replace, but need additional training on management.
