Guest Rename my folders Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 I have several Terminal Services servers and I want the video traffic for rdp to flow thru 1 nic and the network data to flow thru the other nic. I thought I saw this somewhere online but can't seem to find it again. It's supposed to improve performance. I have users that are complaining about using a certain application on Terminal services that uses images and it is really slow. The cpu and ram are ok and people who are accessing this app from their local machines in the office have no performance issue. So I narrowed it down to the video card on the server and the rdp video traffic that transmitts the video to the user is colliding with the data on the nic card.... Your thoughts? and help?
Guest Jeff Pitsch Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Re: Dual Nics for video and data Graphic/image intensive applications do not run well on terminal services. You can dual home servers (a pain in the arse in Windows). You can also specify what NIC TS talks to by modifying your RDP-TCP properties and specifying there. I would not expect a high amount of performance increase if any. By the way, TS completely bypasses the video card so doing anything with that won't do any good.

Guest Rename my folders Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Re: Dual Nics for video and data Also, When I Terminal Service onto the box and use the image application, I can toggle between images with no problem(I am in the office where the servers are). When a user from home Terminal Services onto the box, and they use the same app and try to toggle, it is slow for the image to come up(a few seconds and up to 30 seconds sometimes). Why is that?

It does not work the way you think it does.

Why is that? Just wait till they try a video clip.... The "home user" is running over the internet. VPN will only run at the slower "upload speed" of the connection,..which in most cases is around 500 - 700kbps (that is "k" not "m"). This means a LAN Speed of 100mbps (that is 100,000 kbps) is about 200 times faster than the speed over the internet and if the LAN is a Gigabit LAN then it is,...um,...well I could poke an eye out doing math in my head, but you should get the idea. Doing things removely over the Internet is over-marketed, over-rated, and over-hyped. The "era of Star Trek" has not begun,...by comparison we are still rubbing two sticks together to start a laptop,..er..I mean fire. -- Phillip Windell http://www.wandtv.com The views expressed, are my own and not those of my employer, or Microsoft, or anyone else associated with me, including my cats. -----------------------------------------------------
