Is it possible with either WS2003 terminal services or 2008 terminal services
to create a terminal server farm and to have the server farm to connect back
to SAN where the users profiles, my documents are stored?
 
Re: Windows Terminal Services and SAN

Yes, a TS is nothing special in this respect.

Yes, but to the users, they will only see 1 TS so the servers in the farm are
acting as one server. If I have a iscsi SAN on the network and the TS
servers are connected to the SAN over the iscsi network. How would the users
profile work when the profile is on the SAN and ts client does not login into
one particular Terminal Server. I want to have the users profiles, my
documents stored on one central location.

Re: Windows Terminal Services and SAN

That's what roaming profiles are for: the users use the same
profile, irrspective of on which TS they are working.

You can define a TS roaming profile path in a GPO which is applied
to the OU which contain all Terminal Server computer accounts:

Computer Configuration - Administrative templates - Windows
Components - Terminal Services
"Set path for TS roaming profiles"

To avoid filling up your system disk on the TS, combine the option
above with the following setting (see KB 274152):
Computer Configuration - Administrative templates - System - User
profiles
"Delete cached copies of roaming profiles"
