Client moved from old virtual 2K3 server to newer 2K12 server. They

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.
According to their IT vendor:
1) It's using SMB file sharing; the program runs on Client server from a
remote server. (What, huh???)
2) They did not apply those patches and won't be for awhile.
3) RDP is not an option.
