I am currently in the process of setting up two identical 2008 terminal servers in our corporate network. One
will be the primary server where up to 60 users (currently 20) will use Wyse S10 thin clients to be provided with
a remote desktop experience. The other server is simply a mirrored backup in case of primary server failure. I
have set up failover clustering, DFS replication, and Terminal services on both machines. I have installed an
identical set of application for users to use as well. Both machines are IBM system x3650 with 32gb ram and 6 1TB
drives (configured as 1 raid 0 1tb system drive and 1 raid 5 4tb storage drive). I plan to publish a few apps with
tsremote app and ts web access to a hand full of people as well. My question is two fold: 1) is the set up
(failover clustering, DFSR, and TS) right for the application, and 2) I would like to have users profiles,
documents, etc. default to the 4tb storage drive and was wondering if there was an easy way to change the default
location aside from a GPO (I don't have the rights) or moving them individually as they are created?
These servers are not in production yet so I can change or reconfigure if needed and any advice is appreciated.
Thanks!
