That's a loaded question :)

It depends on the ram, cpu, and (in my experience) network of the server.  It 
also matters what apps are running, how many people are running what etc.

For comparison, I am running dual P3 1ghz servers with 1.5gb of RAM and dual 
teamed 100 nics.

every user connects with a thin client and gets a full desktop.  We run office 
2000, Great Plains, and some custom apps for the nursing home industry.

I can get about 45 users on each server comfortably.  I can get 80 or so on 
there in a pinch but things start to drag.

What is the number of users that terminal services can handle, on a Windows 
2000 Server?  (I need to know, for these IP address changes.)

What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers? Did you know, 
in most cases, CPU Utilization IS NOT the single biggest constraint to scaling 
up?! Get this free white paper to understand the real constraints & how to 
overcome them. SAVE MONEY by scaling-up rather than buying more servers.
