Hi Nick, we create a base OS fully patched and have all our software created as MSI's which are then depolyed via a GPO seting in AS. Its worked quite well for us. ROn ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Nick Smith Sent: 02 May 2007 10:11 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Server Replication A general question. Our 'farm' has finally reached the point where we will need to be having identical servers (Yes I know relying on single servers is bad practice, but cost constraints are high) in load-balanced mode. This is plain Terminal Server 2003. I'm more or less on top of the session-sharing elements, but would appreciate opinions on the best methodologies/software to replicate current servers, and/or ensure new builds are identical. Any advice greatly welcomed. Nick This e-mail is confidential and is intended only for the attention of the addressee.
