RDS server and File Server question
hi, i have installed a virtual environment for a customer.
i installed;
2x AD Controllers (windows server 2012)
1x SQL Server ( SQL Web 2014)
2x RDS Server ( windows server 2012)
1x File Server (windows server 2012)
questions:
1. my customer has 35 users connecting to that RDS server for working in office and small sql database use. Do i need 2 RDS servers and use load balancing?
2. if i do load balancing then i use "user profile disks"? and where do i place this disks?
3. my customer needs a file server. i installed a regular windows server to use a file host. is this ok or do i best install some kind of nas? and what to use then?
thanks!

How many of those 35 users will be in rds at the same time? Full desktops or remote apps?

Philip Elder,
we setup 2 DC controller just to make sure. If one goes down then no user can logon unless its recovered. like this the users always can logon.
i have for each rds server 32GB ram, 8 vCPU @2.9Ghz and 4 1GB's lan's.
usage will be: internet, office, small sql usage on a accountancy program.
users will connect from 12 different locations in one country.

You should definitely have 2 DC.
What is the underlying hardware infrastructure? Hyper-V or VMWare?

And what are the specs for the underlying hardware?

RDS is running on 15k SAS hard drives

8 vCPU means that you're describing the virtual machine specs. I'd like to know the specs of the underlying hardware.
