Your terminal server issue appears to have several potential causes. The
first thing to check are the applications running. If your programs are not
‘terminal server compatible’ they may run for a time but under a variable set
of conditions will lock up. In my experience, certain versions of
applications won’t work while others do.
Second, you didn’t mention any best practices. I strongly suggest you
initiate a best practices for deployment of terminal services. We have
established a set of consistent standards across all of our servers that
helps to eliminate inconsistent practices and ‘intermittent’ problems such as
the one you are having.
Here is a short list of problems that could be the culprit:
Bios, Raid or SCSI drivers that don’t like terminal server could be a problem.
My suggestion is to establish some best practices
Create locked down security profiles and limit users to only applications
and security they need.
Set printer permissions and limit printer drivers loaded on TS box
Certify all applications are TS compatible – VERY important
Make sure page file is about twice size of physical memory
Have a minimum of 1 gig ram, the more the better
Limit internet explorer use on TS box – spend some time on this one because
in my experience, nothing eats up bandwidth, loads more malware and slows you
down more than IE. If it isn’t needed, get rid of it and most of your
problems will go away
Restrict access to only areas and applications users need.
Don’t allow Media Player, Shockwave or any other graphics intensive plugin.
Without a better description of what you are running, security policies and
hardware specifics it is hard to be exact.
Good luck.
