How To Configure This?

[gblanco]

Hello first post from me.

I want some advice to set up this:

I have 2 terminal servers and a dc (all 2008R2), the users are using a simple peace of software (no registery settings)
and i want to use the second terminal server as a fallback server.

Is this possible (or is this a stupid idea? lol):

terminal server 1:
1. set U: drive for users to local map on Terminal server c:\data\userdata\%username%
2. Install software in c:\data\userdata\%username%\software and make a shortcut on the desktop to the program
3. Redirect user map dekstop to c:\data\userdata\%username%\desktop


terminal server 2:
Use DFS to sync c:\data\userdata\ from terminal server 1

So if terminal server 1 false and the users are using terminal server 2 the can work again.

I this possible? Or is there a better solution?

Regards,
Blanco

Hi, yes you can do this but is not as simple as you described. You need 3 servers at least, 2 Ts and a gateway. Google"Microsoft terminal server gateway"
