Hi,
I am testing with Virtualization for finding the ideal scenario for deploying our product. I am using the Windows Remote Desktop Services(a.k.a Windows Terminal Services) methodology for virtualizing the product.
My server runs on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 64-bit edition. I have setup the Terminal server in it and also obtained enough licenses for my terminal clients.
My terminal client is a big plasma screen attached to a thin client. The thin client is configured to log on to the Terminal Server automatically using the RDP client application when it boots up and establish the session with the server. And so it does without any problems. But, i encounter the following issues.
After connection, we are not able to have a smooth and flawless running of the session.
The connection gets stuck, and are very slow to load windows, when scrolling, minimizing, maximizing windows.
Also running of any application from the server is very slow and, breaks down for a longer period of time quite often.
When the remote desktop gets stuck for a long time, the connection with the terminal server itself gets lost.
Sometimes the connection to the terminal server takes too long to establish.
I checked our LAN and are pretty sure that its fault-less. Infact we tested with regular PCs as terminal clients and established connection with the server with as many as 10 clients and found out that we are able to run the session smoothly without any interruptions even when using many desktop applications of the server.
Here are the following details of our server and thin client:
Server:
Intel Xeon- Quad core - 2 GHz each.
4 GB RAM
Thin Client:
Wyse V10L.
128 MB Flash Memory(DOM),
128 MB RAM
OS: Wyse Thin OS
It has RDP and ICA clients.
I am using the RDP client to connect to my Server. It is able to connect to the server well. My only problem is that i am unable to run applications without break downs or slowdowns even for a minute.
Any help would be much appreciated
Santosh.
