Patrick,
Thank you for the tips. I have looked them over and have
a question or two for you. Please excuse my ignorance as
I am somewhat new to all of this.
Q #1: We have a WIN2000 Member Server running TS. This is
a good thing ( in that it is not a DC ). We will be
adding a second WIN2000 Member Server. How do I
accomplish this Network Load Balancing?
Q #2: I was playing with WIN2003 Enterprise Edition this
weekend ( have the evauluation copy ). It looks like
there is a built-in Network Load Balance check box on each
network card's properties. This seems really nice. My
confussion is this: if there are two member servers
running TS in the environment how would I do
the "cluster"? If 192.168.0.10 is the DC on which I have
the service running and 192.168.0.12 and 192.168.0.13 are
the two member servers where TS is running which IP
Address do I add on the Cluster Parameters tab? I assume
that I would have to give both hosts the same Priority (
on the Host Parameter tab ) so that we have true network
load balancing?
I have looked at the Help but this does not clarify things
for me.
Thanks,
Sonny
