Re: Terminal Server Performance

We havent tried anything yet. Yes, we are probably going to add another
server to offload some of the users. We didnt want to do this until we had
figured out whats causing the problems.....network, hard-drive, etc...Grecko

Page files should also be min/max the same so windows is not
growing/shrinking dynamically. this can add alot of overhead. Adding more
pagefile space would just worsen the situation.

both Vera and I have mentioned this but have you seriously considered that
you may have simply maxed out the server? Have you tried virtual memory
products from companies such as ThinPrint, RTO Soft, Provision Networks (I'm
an employee)? Those would cut down on your paging drasticallyl if there are
savings to be had.

I checked the page file and its setup on drive C: for 400 to 1000 MB, on
drive F: for 12286 - 13386, drive H is a system managed drive, and driveE
has
no paging file. Should we make the amount lower on C:. I am assuming it
wont
roll to F until it uses the all page file on C:? Of course if this is the
case, then we would have a bottle neck on the C: drive. What would be the
best way to distribute the calls to the drives?...Gregg

It's impossible to say here why the server is having performance
problems (but 100 concurrent sessions is quite a lot, depemding of
course on which applications the users are running).

You'll have to use Performance monitor to find out what the
bottleneck is. Since you have noticed high RW activity on the drive,
check the size and location of your swap file.
You can find some tools and guidelines here:

We are having poor performance on our terminal server. We only
have about 100 users on one server with 2 processors and 8 gigs
of ram. The poor performance seems to coincide with high/read
writes on our C: drive. Could the drive itself be the
bottleneck or the network itself?...Thanks...Grecko
