Terminal Services, NLB & 350 users
Hi there,
I am plannig a new domain on Win2k for my college dorm, each student would have a thin client in the room. We have 350 rooms, each with a single student.
Planning to deploy terminal services on IBM thin clients, with basic services like office 2000, ftp etc. I believe TS cannot do clustering, only Load balancig via NLB. What are the problems I may face ? Had a look at Citrix, but it would turn out to be very expensive license wise. The plan is to deploy two DCs and one or more TS server with VLANing on our cisco gear. Would it be better if I just deployed a single high end server or should I go for load balancing ? with load balancing, I may have the problem with profiles, and am thinking of putting a low end box to store just profiles. any and all suggestions welcome.
