Another option to consider is posting a Web Feature Service from your data that you can edit. You can publish this through ArcGIS Server/Enterprise or ArcGIS Online. If you use ArcGIS Online, it will use credits but not many unless your data is extremely large. For items like aerials, lidar and basemap data that do not change frequently, you could copy those directly to your local drive.

Are you using a windows 10 pc to remote in and if so are you using Remote Desktop Connection?

 

I’ve found with windows 10 it’s better to use the Microsoft Store Remote Desktop App to avoid the whole freeze/hang issue.

I was having RDC freeze up a fair amount where I would have to disconnect, then reconnect to get it working again.

I’m using the Remote Desktop App now and only run into that issue very infrequently.

Subject: Slow ArcGIS connection across VPN

 

*Message sent from a system outside of UConn.*

 

Hello,

 

Like many people nowadays I find myself working from home and having to use a VPN connection to get on our network at work.  Most of my work involves using ArcDesktop (v10.6.1) to directly connect to a SQL database or various file geodatabases either for editing or maintenance.  I am experiencing a significant lag and was wondering if anybody has any advice on what I can do to improve my productivity and keep my sanity! Things I have tried so far:

 

Option 1:  Use decent laptop to VPN into office network and Remote Desktop to my work PC, which at the time was still at the office.  This was working ok, but I was having a lot of dropped connections, every 10-15 clicks my RDP screen would just freeze. That might have had to do with my internet or the VPN client. To fix the dropped connections IT suggested I just take my Desktop PC home and just use the VPN.

Option 2:  Use VPN connection on work PC, which is now home. This is extremely slow,   I waited 5 minutes for Arc to open up a map and it takes 20-30 seconds for the map to redraw. 

 

I did find a GeoNet post about this issue but it was from 2012. The consensus was that Option 1 was the way to go. Is that still the case? Is there anything else I could do? I know I could create a checkout replica to edit locally, but I am afraid of possible crashes when trying to sync back to the SDE.  I am now stuck with Option 2 but strongly considering going back to Option 1 as soon as I can get a laptop with ArcDesktop on it back into the office so I can RDP into it. 

 

Thanks for any advice!
