Managing a Terminal Server / Remote Desktop Windows 2008 Farm
Hello,
We are looking at implementing a TS Server farm at one of our clients. They have an existing TS server that is working well however the processor is starting to get maxed out. We want to add a 2nd box. I have read and understand how to configure the farm itself. Is there a good way to copy the existing TS Server so that both systems are mirrored in terms of applications and printers, etc...? What about moving forward. Is there an easy way to install an application or add a printer on both systems at once? OR do you have to manage each one individually and connect to both and install on both?
Thank you for any answers to these questions or pointers to a document that would answer these questions.

it's possible to clone TS server, but don't forget to correctly sysprep server.
Easy way to install applications, printers cloud be group policy (or other management tools), like any other application deployment through Active Directory, Terminal servers are not specific in this manner.
If you don't use this way you need to manage each one individually. Farm is not in term of one management but in "visible publishing" to users to connect as one virtual farm, not as many separate servers. But for everything others are really separate servers.
