Run perfmon with the IO, CPU, Memory and DPC counters and profile your
server for the whole day (or Week)and see what the total usage of
Memory,CPU and IO is based on that number you should be able to
determine an approxiamte number of users you can get on ther server.
For example if you Cpu is at 30% Memory is at 40% and your IO is about
30% (avg throughout the day) then you should be able to get more users
on the box. Maybe about 20 more users.

I have 2 PE2650's with single 2.6g xeon cpu's, 2g ram in each running
full desktop to about 35 users with no problems whatsoever in
performance. Its in a win2k AD environment. Im wondering how many more
users I can put on the system though. I'm pretty happy with the
performance now.

We're putting together a proposal to purchase Citrix since our TS
environment isn't going away anytime soon. I have a few questions that
will reflect the proposal.
1) We use Win2000 TS in a Win2003 AD enviroment. Licensing costs for
Win2003 TS are substancial compared to sticking with Win2000 TS.
Considering we would put MF XP and the newest FR ontop of our current
servers, are there any advantages gained by spending the costs to
upgrade to Win2003 TS and revamp our licensing?
2) I have 5 terminal servers now but plan to consolidated down to my 2
newest servers which are Dell PE2650s with Dual P4 Xenon 1.8ghz and 2
gigs of RAM. I'd say I have a total of 50 users combined in my 4
terminal servers on any given basis. Of that 50, maybe 10% do a full
desktop type environment. We actually have an app we found that locks
the desktop and gives you only icons that is specified within the app.
So this 10% of users has outlook, word, excel, and IE. The other 90% of
the users use 1 or 2 applications that are launched through their
profile. They are fairly low CPU and memory useage apps.
Based on those 2 PE2650s, if I decided I wanted to publish full
desktops, how many users could I support across each server without a
problem?
