Miguel,
I can attest to the rather complete nature of Doug's documentation, MIAB
2.1. I manage a 27-server MF 1.8 farm but have (had?) very little knowledge
of XP. Using Doug Brown's documentation, I was able to put together a
comprehensive design including a complete "shopping list" of hardware and
software required to implement the design, including data store
determination, zone data collector, and control server design. I started
about 2 weeks ago and submitted both the design and procurement request last
week. The hardware arrived today and tomorrow I will begin building a new MF
XP server farm. Whoo Hoo!! Many kudos to Doug for his very complete project
methodology.
Thanks Doug!!

Miguel,
Douglas Brown has put together a document called Methodology in a box. I
have found this to be an excellent resource when setting up Metaframe
servers.
You can download a version of it from this link:

Thank you,

Hello,
I am looking for a document that would guide me in properly configuring a
MetaFrame XP environment. I am trying to get information to justify the new
hardware the upgrade will require.
Here we run 22 MetaFrame 1.8 servers running some third party apps. We are
planning in starting from scratch.
I know I need a SQL server and a Web server or two. There will be aprox 500
at peak times running an app that takes about 24mbs of ram per user.
The servers we will get will be loaded in memory and will be dual
processors.
Thanks.

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.
