Asked By TechieTom84 On

I'm new to setting up terminal servers and I've been assigned the task of configuring a new one using RDP. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the specs and requirements, especially since we'll be supporting around 70-80 thin clients with about 50 users expected to be logged in simultaneously. I would really appreciate any insights or recommendations from those who have experience with this process!

You'll want to clarify if the users are accessing full desktops or just published apps. Are there any resource-heavy applications like Chrome or Office? Plus, consider whether you need GPU support or if CPU sessions will suffice.

What kinds of applications will the users be running? Are they logging into full desktops or using specific applications? Knowing that will help determine the type of server setup you'll need.

Just curious, are you the IT expert in your company or more of the 'computer-savvy' person? It helps to know your background. Also, for thin clients, I've had great success with Dell Wyse. Using the Wyse Management Suite makes setup a breeze! And remember, always give your server more RAM than you think you need—double it, just to be safe.

Hiring a consultant might be a good move here. Setting up a terminal server isn't just about the specs; it's a complex project that can lead to issues if not handled properly. With 80 users, you're entering cluster or VDI territory, which requires careful planning.
