How many users...

[Guest testing]

Hi,

I have in my organization two server:

one server IBM x206 with 4GB of RAM that works as Domain Controller, File

server

one server IBM x3400 with 4GB of RAM that works as SQL Server 2005 for 15

users and Backup Server, Antivirus server

 

I need to install Terminal server, and probably on the x206

 

How can i estabilished how many users can works in Terminal Server without

affecting too much network and system performance?

 

TIA

Hello testing,

 

You should never use a Domain controller as Terminal server from the security

view.

 

See here for capacity planning:

Also i would suggest to post this to:

microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services

Ok, how you suggest to deploy this services (SQL 2005 Workgroup, Domain

Controller, File Server, Backup Server, Antivirus server, Terminal Server)

on the two server (x206 and x3400).

Hello testing,

 

A TS should only do it basic work nothing else, so think about another server.

I agree wholeheartedly. In the OP's environment they need at least three

servers.

Or even 4 (need a second DC)... Actually, I'd like to see:

 

- DC

- Second DC (Use a decent workstation for this, if necessary)

- SQL2005

- Terminal Server

- File/Backup/AV server

 

Plus the fact that installing TS after the fact is a big problem.....
