Problem: I have 2000 users. How many terminal servers do I need. Servers are W2003, XPe, dual Xeon 2.8, 4Gb RAM All users receive a published desktop. Standard applications are MS Offic= e & Lotus Notes, other applications include SAP. I need to simulate a typical user load - users using applications in a "t= ypical" way, and automate this. Then, I need to test various applications= like Appsense or TScale to see what sort of improvement they make on per= formance. So: What can I use to simulate userload of between 40 and 200 users making ty= pical use of our application set? What criteria should I use to determine that the server is running at "fu= ll" capacity? What other criteria might I use to fine tune these servers? How did you do it? What were your experiences? What applications might I consider to get the servers running more effici= ently?
