Terminal Services and Internet connection speed

[Guest Cary W. Shultz]

Good evening,

 

I have a question regarding upload speed (Internet connection): A colleague

of mine suggests that the upload speed of the Internet connection (where the

Terminal Server resides) is irrelevant. I contend that the upload speed is

relevant and important.

 

Example: A company has one terminal server in it server closet. External

Users from around the US access it. Let's just say that they are basic

users (Office 2007 with some MS Word and MS Excel and MS Outlook) and some

basic printing. Let's say that there are 20 such users and that the

hardware of the TS box is really quite sufficient. Furthermore, the

Interney connection in that office is 3mbps down and 768kpbs up. Just to be

clear - let's say that all of the users around the country have the same

speed. I contend that upping the upload speed of the company's Internet

connection would be beneficial to the end-user experience.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Cary

maybe you're using to high color depth and your upload bandwidth is not to

high.

Network connection is relevent.

limit color depth to minimum, 256 colors (8bit)

 

1.Open Group Policy.

2.In Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components,

Terminal Services, double-click the Limit maximum color depth setting, and

then click Enabled.

3.In the Color Depth box, click the desired maximum color depth(8 bit), and

then

click OK.

 

gpupdate /force and reconnect clients

let us know do you have now better user experience.

Additionally, you can tell your clients "I've upped my upload speed, so up

yours!" LOL...

Depending upon the amount of users and their printing habits,

upload speed is way higher on the scale than download speed.

 

Your colleague may have made the statement because there were

only three or less users on the system. In this instance, upload

speed would not be an issue.

 

Using your example though, upload speed is definitely important.
