Iops requirement for RDS farm on windows 2k12

Hi,
I'M working on the project to create a TS Farm with server 2012 and I want to know the minimal requirement for the IOPS. I will run my setting with a SAN configured with 8 x 600 Gb (10k rpm) in RAID 6 but I want to be sure the IOPS it's ok.
I just fund some partial information of a white paper for TS on winodws 2k8 and nothing talking about the IOPS.
If somebody can illumine me,
Thanks,

Hi,
This forum is for the specific product Virtual Server 2005.
You're better off posting in a more appropriate forum like the Windows Server or Terminal Services forums.

  • Best practice for licence server for RDS Farm & Certificate errors

    Hello,
    I am in the process of creating an RDS farm using Server 2008 R2.  I have three Session Hosts and a Connection Broker.
    I have a set of 10 user CALs available and also another 20 on our current RDS server which will need migrating once we go live with the farm.
    I understand the User CALs need to be installed on another Server 2008 R2 and I am wondering what is best practice.  We are running on an entirely virtual environment and it would be simple enough to create another server and install the CALs on there. 
    The only issue with that is that I would need to create a replica of this new machine for DR purposes, but this would take up valuable space which may not be necessary.
    We are planning on creating replicas of one of the Session hosts and the broker for DR, so I am guessing I would need to install some CALs on the Session Host which is going to be replicated.
    There are a few options and I am just wondering what is the best way to go about things.
    Also, as an aside, I am getting an annoying certificate error each time I log a test user onto the RDS farm - I think this is because I am using the DNS alias of the RDS Farm to log on. Is there an easy way to get around this, other than the 'Do not show
    this message again'. I have been doing some research and the world of Certificates is very confusing!!
    Thanks,

    Hi Caroline,
    Firstly for your License related issue, you can perform the step on any VM or can create the new VM as replica for RDSH server also. But please be sure that you have installed RD License server on it, activate it and then install RDS CAL on it. But be safe
    if possible don’t install RD License server with RDCB, please make that out of it as little away. As you can also install RD License server with AD or make replica of that and install RDL on that.

    What’s the specified certificate error which you are receiving?
    If you're going to allow users to connect externally and they will not be part of your domain, you would need to deploy certificates from a public CA. In meantime you can refer blog for getting insight for certificate case.

  • RDS Farms in Windows 2008 R2

    Hi,
    I have a lab with following structure.
    RDWEB.test.com ---> RD web server
    RDCB.test.com   ----> Connection broker
    RDSH01.test.com ----> Session server 1
    RDSH02.test.com ----> Session server 2
    RDSH03.test.com ----> Session server 3
    RDSFarm01 (RDSH01, RDSH02, RDSH03) configured.
    My Requirement:-
    Now I have added two more servers (RDSH04 & RDSH05) in above lab. But this time I want to use RDSFARM02 for these two servers being connection broker (RDCB.test.com ) same as above.
    Could you please let me know if it is possible to configure 2nd RDS Farm (RDSFARM02) with same connection broker server (RDCB.test.com) in windows 2008 R2 Environment?
    System Engineer

    Hi,
    Yes, you can configure a second RDS farm using the same broker if you would like.  If using DNS RR create the A records for the new FQDN (for example, rdsfarm02.domain.com) to point to RDSH04 and RDSH05, and in RD Session Host Configuration (tsconfig.msc)
    on RDSH04 and RDSH05 set the farm name to RDSFARM02.

  • Cannot access RDS Farm from Windows 8.1

    Hi,
    my problem is following. We have a RDS Farm (Windows 2012) and after update my Windows to 8.1 I cannot access the RemoteApp.
    The Problem exist only on Clients with Windows 8.1 and Windows 2012R2. Windows 8.1 using the new rdp protocol(8.1)
    I don't have this problem on windows 2012 or windows 8 with rpd 8.0
    I've tried to replace the mstsc.exe and mstscax.dll in c:\windows\system32, but that didn't work. I can start mstsc, but I get error like "TS Gateway is not supported from system setting. And the gateway settings in Remote Desktop client is grayed.
    Can me somebody help or can me tell how can I downgrade to rdp 8.0?

    Hi,
    What's the RemoteAPPs you point? Desktop APPs or Store APPs? What's the type of your account? Please check your remote account authority in Remote System, try to add your account to Administrator group for test.
    In addition, it would be better to provide more details when start RemoteAPPs failed. Is there any error message?

  • Exchange 2013 IOPS Requirements for ActiveSync and anti-virus

    I am currently planning to replace my Exchange 2003 server with Exchange 2013. I have used the Exchange Server 2013 Role Requirements Calculator but I'm stuck on how much additional IOPS to add for ActiveSync and my anti-virus solution (Symantec Mail Security
    for Microsoft Exchange). The only info I've found for ActiveSync in regards to additional IOPS is to add .5 but nothing for SMSMSE. Symantec's web site has nothing on this (the question has been asked but not answered). I've also seen the ActiveSync question
    asked but not answered.
    Any advice or guidance would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Only Symantec can answer that for the A/V, but for ActiveSync, assuming you are using mostly Android/iOS, I would recommend using 1.3 for both IOPS Multiplication Factor and Megacycles Multiplication Factor.

  • The system requirements for cs 4

    The system requirements for cs 4 stated Windows Vista® Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise with Service Pack 1 (certified for 32-bit Windows XP and 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Vista).
    But i'm using windows vista home basic. So can i still use this program?

    You can download the tryout. As soon as you start the installer,you will know for sure.
    The requirements also state a 2 GHz min. CPU,so I did the above and found I was good to go on my 1.73 GHz system.

  • Server 2012R2 -- RDS Farm with XP and Windows Vista Clients

    Hi There,
    My team has been having some fun in getting our Server 2012R2 farm operational, annoyingly MS documentation is severely lacking on how to correctly configure a 2012R2 Farm correctly.
    We have an RDG1-TCC server, which is the RDGateway, RDConnection Broker and RDWeb Server. We have two session host servers RDS1-TCC and RDS2-TCC.
    It took us some time and much online research to figure out exactly how we needed to configure the RDS server as a lot of information online for 2012R2 was apparently incorrect(was based on 2008R2 practices). We started off with using a DNS Round Robin for
    the RDS Session hosts servers and after a number of certificate issues, we later found this was incorrect. We're now using RDWeb exclusively, which appears to be the correct way to have the Connection Broker working?
    We've ran into a number of issues with certificates too, we have an external certificate for remote.domain.com. Installing this on all 4 options in the certificate manager has made internally work correctly via RDWeb, however externally we are getting a
    certificate mismatch as it's trying to connected to RDG1-TCC with a certificate for remote.domain.com. I'm pretty sure I can resolve this with a replacement remote.domain.com certificate that includes a SAN for *.domain.internal. Testing with a self signed
    certificate seemed to resolve this issue.
    Now providing i've configured everything the correct way, we have an issue where RDWEb RDP files do not work internally or externally for XP, Vista or Windows 7 (With RDP7.1). Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 7 with RDP 8/8.1 updates work perfectly fine. Unfortunately
    this new client has a few XP machines that they are not willing to update just yet.
    Is there a known fix/workaround to get these older clients working correctly?
    Sorry for the extremely long post, but I'm sick of banging my head against the wall trying to get something that we assumed would have been fairly simple to get up and running.
    Cheers,
    Ben

    Thanks for the assistance so fat, now I have all clients connecting, I need to tackle the certificate issues.
    The UC SAN certificate is going to cost much more than the current certificate, currently that idea is on the back burner as the client does not wish to pay a few hundred extra.
    To quickly sum things up:
    AD DNS(internal DNS) override in place for remote.domain.com.au pointing it to the internal IP of the gateway/connection broker/RDWeb server.
    Connecting Internally its working perfectly fine under all circumstances (I'm guessing this is because of Kerberos Auth)
    When users connect externally via RDWeb they get a certificate missmatch as the cert is for remote.domain.com.au and the server is RDG1-TCC.domain.com.net
    When users connect externally via MSTSC using the Gateway option, they get a certificate missmatch as per the above, however they also receive a second "certificate is not trusted" error for whatever RDS server they hit.
    I have tried the below previously and they broke other things:
    "Change published FQDN for Server 2012 or 2012 R2 RDS Deployment."
    This resolved the external certificate issue. However then internal connections stopped working. When connecting via RDWeb, you would get asked for credentials instantly and no matter what you entered, it just asked for credentials again.
    There did not seem to be ANY event logs for this connection.
    "Changing RDP-Tcp listener on RDSH to use external certificate."
    I can't recall the exact error we had when we did this, but I know we had to roll back the change. I have a feeling we then started getting certificate missmatch errors on the Session Hosts.
    I'm half thinking that when the farm is free(Currently being used for application UAT), I'm going to try and reconfigure the RDP-Tcp listener on the RDSH servers again and see if that resolves one or more of our issues.
    Do you have any suggestions on how I can use the correct published FQDN name without breaking internal access? Or any other ideas on getting this entire thing working both internally and externally?
    Also, Dharmesh, I've tried clearing out the certificate cache as suggested, but to no avail.

  • RDS Farm - OS Edition Requirements

    Hi there
    To create an RDS farm - can the RDS Session Host Servers OS be Standard edition, or is Enterprise Edition required?
    Regards
    Ian

    Hi,
    You can use Standard Edition for the Remote Desktop Session Host Servers. Before 2008 you needed Enterprise as the OS for Terminal Servers to make use of Session Directory (a TS farm). With 2008 (and R2) this isnt needed anymore. Connection Broker (formally
    Session Directory) does not require the RD Session Hosts to be Enterprise.
    Kind regards,

    I have Wondows Vista...

    Help!  I have an IPhone, and I would like to get my Itunes upgraded so I can download the new Iphone software...
    Thanks!

    I have been in touch with Apple support in reference to my problem. We went through every solution available, and found no fix. The tech then suggested I contact Microsoft concerning this issue. I thought that suggestion was just to get me pointed somewhere but Apple. Boy was I wrong!! I contacted Microsoft, and was directed to a free download called Microsoft Fix. This program fixed something in the regisitor, and wala everything was fixed!! I now have I-Cloud and I-Tunes loaded and working well. So, if you can't install Apple Software and are running Window 7 you might give Microsoft Fix a try, it fixed my problem.....

    I am trying to install itunes 10.5, but during the download I get the following message, "There is a problem with this Window Installer Package.  A program required for this install to complete could not be run.  Contact your support personanal or package vendor."  If this is my personal computer and was able to upgrade to the previous version (pre 10.5), why not now?  What is my "package vendor"? And what is it I need to do to fix this?  The message is unclear.  Unfortunately, I deleted my itunes program, thinking that in doing so, 10.5 would finally load.  Now I have no itunes on my computer and unable to sync my iphone.  Help!
    Thanks - Rick

    Hi Rick,
    by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
    Success,

    Repair your Apple software update.
    Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
    If you don't find ASU, go to Control Panel:
