solution for 150 terminal users

[Guest Luca]

Hi,

I've a Win2003 server sp1 standard edition, xeon 3.4, 4gb /pae, 3hd scsi

raid5 with terminal services installed.

 

At the moment about 50 users works on it with word2003, excel2003 and paint

and all go fine.

 

Now we improve the internet connection with the use of internet explore and

firefox, msaccess2003, powerpoint2003 and acrobat reader 7 and when 40 users

logon the system start to crash some application as I see from the event

viewer.

 

Seeing the task manager every winword session run about 40mb, and the other

office application about 20mb each, so every user session is about 120mb

average.

 

What solution you reccomend to grow up to 150 users good working?

 

Thanks.

By some extra servers and spread the load. I advise to have about 30

concurrent users on one server.
