Guest JMcNally Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I have been having an issue with a Terminal Server in a Small Business Server Standar Edition Environment. I have attached the Terminal Server as instructed to the Domain. First created the Server and then ran the connect computer via IE. It worked fine. Original problem was related to Terminal Server slow performance. We upgraded the Server from 4 GB of RAM to a hefty 12 GB of RAM. I know the limitation of the $ GB in a 32 bit environment but I figured that it would allow a better performance - since it never hurst to have plenty of RAM. The server is a dual Xeon processor and so far I have tried making changes and tweaks to the registry to see if I can improve on the server speed and have not gotten good results. Sometimes I connect to the server as user and I open an application and find it standing in an hour glass for a while until it opens... then it goes in cycles that allow me to work and run applications.. then does the same .. no response and the hour glass until again allows me access to the apps... I am not to proficient in this terminal servers but at least I know we did not do a baseline simply because the users at the time were minimum but now I have close to 15 remote users that use this machine as a virtual desktop. I would like to request guidance on the issue and see if I can find out what is the cause of the slow performance. I checked viruses, spyware, etc and there is none. I have run defragmentation, I have tried all the possibilities. Increased the size of the virtual memory fro 4 GB to 18 GB split in two disks... 4 GB in C and 12 GB on D., I have done what I can whitin the limitation of knowledge. I need help.. -- Jairo F McNally
Guest Jeff Pitsch Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Re: Terminal Server Slow Performance Have you removed your anti-virus on the server? have you run perfmon to see what areas may be causing issues? Have you disabled Data Exection Protection? -- Jeff Pitsch Microsoft MVP - Terminal Services "JMcNally" <JMcNally@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:AB2FA4FC-C4A1-419A-803C-776F3ABC08FE@microsoft.com... >I have been having an issue with a Terminal Server in a Small Business >Server > Standar Edition Environment. > I have attached the Terminal Server as instructed to the Domain.

Guest JMcNally Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Re: Terminal Server Slow Performance Jeff, Thank you for your prompt response. I have not done so but if I have to run Perfmon what counters should I look at? I will disable the data exec Protection and see if that helps. I will keep you informed. -- Jairo F McNally "Jeff Pitsch" wrote: > Have you removed your anti-virus on the server? have you run perfmon to see > what areas may be causing issues?
