RE: PF usage

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



As a start you could track down which printer drivers you have on it and look
for more updated ones or using out-of-the-box Windows 2003 drivers for these
printers. You may lose some functionality on the printing but they are for
sure 100% compatible with TS.

We just replace one of our old TS with this. The old one would reboot every
night at midnight. We never got around to setting this up on the new system
as we were looking to see why we had this problem. I will set it up tonight
but I still need to track this down. The first few weeks we had no problems.
Now I can go two weeks or one day? We plan on adding more users so this
could be a problem. Do you have ideas on how to track this down? I am
thinking print drivers but not sure. The apps are the same as the old one
and we never had this problem.
Thanks for the help

Before we try to find the culprit, please note that it is a best practice to
reboot a TS frequently and in some cases, daily.
The reason for that is not TS itself. Most of the time applications leak
memory and when running on a regular PC you do not notice as users usually
reboot their machines and more than that it is a single user using the app.
Once you bring TS to the picture now you may have 50 people using the app at
the same time. This will make it leak 50 times faster at least and the fact
you usually do not reboot the box will make that worse.
That is why we highly recommend as part of any TS deployment, a scheduled
reboot.

General Info:
Windows Server ENT 2003 SP2 Current with updates.
Page File 4095 on E: and 800 on C:
Clients are Windows XP SP2 and SP3
RDP is 6.0 and 6.1.
4 CPU
14 Gig Ram
This is a VMware guest on ESX 3.5
The image sits on a SAN with 4 Gig fiber connecting it to the ESX server.

I am trying to find a way to see how much memory is being used by each user.
I can go two weeks with people using the system with no problems. Anywhere
between 1 user to 30 users and never get over 4 gigs commit charge total.
Then it will climb to 9 gigs and hang all day. I check the server at the end
of the day and I am the only person on the system and it is still at 9 gigs.
It has not BS yet. I end up restarting it. Also when all the users logoff I
check the processes to see if any apps are hung. I am not seeing anything.
I am thinking a print problem but not sure.
