Brian Madden points out a whitepaper on his website by Bernhard Tritsch. He is the Chief Systems Architect for visionapp GbmH, a German server-based computing consulting company and author of the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services book. The whitepaper discusses the methodologies and results of a study of Terminal Server on big (8 processor, 8GB of RAM) servers. This paper shows the detailed methods they used to conduct the test. It details everything and includes the scripts for how they created the 150 user accounts, how they threw all the user sessions at the server (with the full source of the scripts they used) and how they handled user profiles (again, with scripts). This paper also details their testing methodology, including which applications they ran and which performance counters they watched.
Brian is right, this article is a must read.
