No Login possible after 57 Users

[Guest]

TS Server:
2xP4, 4GB RAM, RAID 1 + 5, W2k Server

No Login possible after 57 - 60 TS RDP User - not enough System ressources
additional it is not possible to have access on a local drive.

If a active User logoff a new User can logon but only one because 57 User
are active.

Has anybody an idee?

Haved you checked the EventLog on the server?
This can either be hard disk space or registry size, which are both
filled with user profile data.

You also could have run out of RAM.

Just to add to this question, I am also having an issue when I reach a number
of users. I have a 4xP4 processor with 2 GB of RAM. When I configured this
server, it was designed to handle apx 100 users but I am not reaching that by
any stretch. I receive that I should increase the registry size which I have
done but this has not resolved the issue. My registry size is currently set
at 120Mb with a 500mb max size.

Any more ideas?

I can tell you with absolute certainty that 2GB of RAM is insufficient for
this number of users. The reason is that the OS splits the memory between
system & user processes, meaning you'll effectively have only 1GB of physical
RAM to allocate to user processes. 1GB / 100 users is 10MB per session, which
would only be enough if users ran notepad, but most programs in the real
world use 10-50MB per instance which makes it imperitive to put 4GB of RAM in
any terminal server hosting more than a few dozen sessions.

I don't believe in using 4 quad CPU servers for TS unless you're using VM as
the hardware is way more expensive than a dual CPU box, and the session count
does NOT scale linearly. You get way more users when scaling-out smaller 2
way servers, or better utilizing a quad servers resources with VMware or
Virtual Server.

Depending on the application it is certainly possible to have
100 users on a box with 2GB of RAM. And the application
can be much more complex than notepad. No, I am not
talking about calculator. : )

How did you come up with only 1GB RAM available for
session use?

Thanks.
