Re: Which Version of Windows 2003?



Hi Steve,
More than 4GB RAM in a Terminal Server won't do much (if any) good, so
upgrading to Enterprise will most likely not give you the performance
increase to justify the cost.
I think you've just about hit the ceiling with this server, so to
increase performance, especially if you're going to add extra
users,you'll want to add another server to the whole and start load
balancing the stuff.
General rule of thumb (mileage may vary!) is about 50 users per
Terminal Server max, before you start adding other servers (either
virtual or physical).

We have two Dell PE2800's with dual CPU's and 4GB of Ram.

Both are running Windows 2003 standard.
One is running as a Active Directory File-server with Exchange
The other is running as a terminal server. We have about 60 users using
Office 2003, Peach Tree, Vantage 8.03 ERP client.

From time to time things seem to run slow.

My question is should we upgrade to Windows 2003 Enterprise and increase RAM?

Ive tried to read through the terminal server sizing guide but, Im not sure
if it answered my questions.

When should you move from standard to Enterprise? Any guidelines?

Thanks in advance
Steve
