Using Dumb Machines to connect to PDM Server (using Explorer/viewer)

Hi Guys,

Within our company we have 2 CAD Machines, All the other Computers within the company Are just Dumb Machines Connected to a server, Im not sure of the specifics of how this works.

However we have been informed By Our VAR that we cannot use and Explorer/Viewer on the Server to connect to PDM for these dumb machines.

They say that it is due to risk of corruption, However I am wondering if anyone else has run this kind of set up, How it works, and if there was any issue.

Thanks in Advance
