monitoring bandwith used by terminal services.

[Jay V]

Is there a program out there that can help me monitor the
bandwith our office is using right now?

Ive posted before about the slowdowns we experience when
we have 7 or 8 people connected thru terminal services.
Our office has ADSL 1.5 mb down and 256 up and the other
office has also DSL. But we experience slowdowns when
everyone is logged on in terminal services. But when
theres only a couple 3 or 4 people connected it seems to
run smoother and not have the slow downs. The reply i
recieved was with the bandwith that were probobly running
out. Is there a program out there that can help me monitor
the bandwith were using.

Were using windows 2000 server, the terminal server is an
old server P3 1.o Ghz 512 ram, is that a problem? i check
all the perf monitor and it seems to be fine .. so i think
the specs of the old server is ok .. specially considering
terminal services and just active directory is in there.

all help and replies are appreciated.

Thanks

You can try network monitor and/or the network related counters in
performance monitor.

Depending on which type of programs the users are running, and
settings like wallpaper, screensavers, etc, I am not amazed that
you experience performance problems with these connections. We
have noticed the same and upgraded all network connections.
It's a good idea to monitor the load, though.

Try using performance monitor. Track in inbound and
outbound bandwidth and bytes.

Try looking in the Server object under Bytes Total/Sec.
