Hi,
Anyone configured TS with windows 2000 load balancing Service? If did how
well does it work.
I'm using Terminal Service Frontend to connect to Backend SQL 2000 Server.

Any help would appreciated.
 
It works kind of ok. The main issue is if you use Windows 2000 you must have
Advanced Server and not Server. The price difference is huge and NLB is NOT
intelligent what means it does not know how many users, how the CPU is and
so on before sending a user to a TS.
For much less you can simply use my WTSGateway Pro that will allow you to
have as many TSs as you want, load balanced (resource based load balancing
so it knows which TS is the best one at the time of the connection) plus it
acts as a gateway what means only one external IP and port is needed, no
matter how many TSs you have.
