The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Why to NOT install terminal server on existing DC and Exchange Server

Asked by jcistaro in Remote Desktop/Terminal Services, Exchange Email Server, Active Directory

Tags: microsoft, terminal server

PLease read below.  I need the "smoking gun"r eason not put put Terminal server on DC01.  They are insisting I do it, I of course want to do the right thing and sell a new server to them for Terminal Server.  Please comment and help a brother out.


Frank/Simon/Wilson,
 
Wilson,  After speaking with you this morning, I should have asked you a question, as the information below is predicated on it.  Have you attempted to install the Oracle application in LAX locally on these PCs?   Have you determined that there is a performance issue?  As you are aware, this is a VPN connection, and the limiting performance factor is the speed of the connection.  This is a 10Mbps/1Mbps Down/Up circuit.
 
Wilson,
 
Please call me any time after 7AM EST (GMT -05:00) on my cell phone at 973-896-4951 to discuss anything as indicated below.
 
After discussions with you this morning, Earl, Jim and I spoke at length about adding terminal services to your current server infrastructure at M&M.  Currently M&M has two servers.  DC01 and DC02
 
DC01 has the following services running
 
"         DC
"         DNS
"         DHCP
"         FSMO Roles
"         Symantec Console
"         Exchange
"         File and Print
"         POP Beamer
"         Antigen
"         Default Server
"         Backup Exec 10d
"         UPS Manager
 
DC02 is the Oracle database server and we have been instructed to not touch it
 
I am not recommending adding any further load to the DC01 at this time.  I fear that the existing services will come to a crawl and/or you will be putting too many eggs in one basket.  Also Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Office should not be on the same machine.  If you application has any hook to office or MAPI, it will be an issue.
 
Id rather see M&M get a new server, and run Terminal Services stand alone.
