Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hi,

In our school we have a computer classroom with around 30 computers, 100
Mbit/s switches and a gigabit LAN line to our servers.

Most of the workstations are old low disk and lo mem machines (64 / 128MB
RAM). We have a couple of win2003 serverlicenes which we don't use and I
wonder if it would be better using one of these as a terminal server.

How can we most efficiently set up a simple terminal service scenario for
these computers?

Will the 'standard' win2003 server terminal services be adequate for 30
student-type users?

These machines are running w2k pro now and takes 5 mins to boot up to the
login.... :-|

How 'thin' can the client machines' operating system be when they only shall
run as terminal server clients?

What is the minimum OS to boot for a TS client before loading remote desktop
or ICA?

Also can this be setup so no data is stored on the client machines, user
profile and home folders only stored on the server?

Thanks for some URLs and comments ;-)

Rod
