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.

Thank you!

GPU / bandwidth requirements for terminal services / rdp sessions

Asked by earth-traveler in Remote Desktop/Terminal Services, Windows 2003 Server, Windows Server 2008

Tags: , ,

GPU:
I've been running Terminal Services for a couple of years and I'm just now having a couple of questions about it. Does a terminal server need a GPU? The server I'm running right now (2003) has an onboard video card. The 2008 server I'm migrating to has a 8400gs dedicated card. Does the gpu provide processing power for anything other than connecting at the actual console? Does the processor do any graphical processing for remote sessions?

Bandwidth:
My users have a bit of latency in a TS session even on our local network. Noticeable but not serious, just a very slight delay in everything they do. I was doing a little reading the other day and ran across someone saying how using RDP on a local network was just like being in front of their own computer with no noticeable difference. RDP is good but I don't think it's quite that good unless I've got something set up incorrectly. For optimal refresh rate on a ts session, should settings be tweaked at all? My people connect via 100mb lan due to 100mb network cards. The switch is a 1gb and the server connects at 1gb. Since I don't have any TS experience prior to working here, I don't have any frame of reference as to how well it should perform.

These seem like simple questions so I'm offering 200 points for this post, 100 dedicated to each question. Thanks!Start Free Trial
