Hi Alina,
I am Option 1 as well.
Laptop (tiny screen!!! So spoiled at work) with VPN and then RDP into my desktop to do any heavy editing. I tested some geometry edits and reconcile and posting yesterday and it worked better than i expected. I am planning on holding off on any really heavy editing unless absolutely necessary.
We are trying to mostly work in AGOL since we don’t have VPN for everyone.
I have a service set up for attribute editing but due to our geometric network and attribute assistant setup no geometry edits from there.
Good luck!
Jess

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!
