Well, another reason for doing this is my Metaframe2 server is pretty much dedicated to Dial-In users only, and it is a higher end server that I want to experiment with 2003 Terminal Services on. The server Metaframe is a lower end server which would suit the needs for the few people who dial into it. This advice seems like it will do what I want, thanks for your help, Collin White -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Brown [mailto:BROWN-KE@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2003 3:46 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx I also think that this is correct. But I have a question as to why you = would want to have a spare versus load balancing? >>> twilson@xxxxxxxxxxxx 6/10/2003 15:49:19 >>> Hmmm... from my standpoint, I don't see why not. You'd have to take "Metaframe" out of the farm & unplug it from the =3D network, rename it "Metaframe2" & redo it's IP, and reset the computer =3D account in AD. Reboot it then with the NIC plugged back into the =3D network, and if all the apps are installed in the exact place as the =3D previous one, it shouldn't be noticeable to the users. =3D20 I believe the published apps go by name & IP addy, not MAC address or =3D anything. Does anyone know if I am wrong? -----Original Message----- From: White, Collin [mailto:cwhite@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]=3D20=20 Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2003 1:29 PM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx'=20 Subject: [THIN] Re: Renaming a Metaframe Server That doesn't sound like what I am talking about, this is from a Disaster recovery standpoint, there will not be an opportunity to remove this =3D server from a farm since it has crashed.
