Re: Which Version of Windows 2003?



Having more than 4GB in a Terminal Server can reduce paging and thus increase performance and maximum number of users and programs on the system. Whether or not the [additional] cost of Enterprise is justified in a particular case is an open question--in many (certainly not all) cases it will not be.

The maximum number of users per server varies greatly depending on a large number of factors. Because of this, there is no general rule of thumb on the maximum number of users per server.

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).
