Re: Terminal Sessions performance

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

I suggest finding where the bottleneck is. I have no idea and I am just
throwing out suggestions what to look for. You need to really use perfmon
on the servers and find out where the botteneck is. Otherwise, your taking
a complete guess and may waste money trying to fix a symptom rather than a
problem. Perfmon is your friend, use it and you'll find out where the
problem. is.

Do you adding another 1 or 2 GB of ram will resolve the performance issue?

Or do you suggest in adding more ram and another Processor?

What you have is probably a hyperthreading showing as two processors.
Try
adding a second processor, this should help. It may also be that your
application is very resource intensive and your servers were never
properly
sized. You may also try adding more memory because high CPU and high
pagefile could indicate you have run out of memory and it is paging
excessively to make up for the fact.

I'm reviewing the server specs again and we have 2 processors and I'm
not
sure if is load balancing to help with the performance.

How many CPUs does the server have? Seems that the CPU is the
bottleneck.
Have you checked in Task Manager on the server if there is a single
application which uses most of the CPU? 16-bit application are known
to monopolise the CPU.

Before you buy additional hardware, run Performance Monitor on the
server to ensure that the CPU is really the bottleneck. Could be
something else as well, like memory, page file, disk I/O.

I am running Windows 2003 Terminal Server and it is our
Application server as well. I have 28 nodes running all
application from the Server through RDP sessions. This is a thin
client environment. Is there anyway to improve performance?

Throughout the week there is performance downgrade, CPU is
running between 80 - 100% and I have to sometimes reboot the
server to increase performance.

Any suggestions to detect the bottlenecks and how to improve
performance?

Thanks
