Hello all,
I'm running a RDS farm with 2008 R2 sp1 servers.
The problem is that we have some heavy excel users which are utilizing the cpu's of the rds servers so much that other users cannot work on the same rds server because the performance is very bad.
I've found out that we should be able to use the "Windows system resource manager" to prevent this problem.
I have installed and configured the wsrm following the guide on the Microsoft site: technet.microsoft.com en-us library cc754150.aspx
I have selected the Equal_Per_Session policy as managing policy but it doesn’t matter which policy I choose.
After configuring the wsrm it looks like it is working, I am using the I’m testing the following way:
*I log in with two users to the same RDS server
*With user 1 I am utilizing cpu with the tool consume -cpu-time
*with user 2 I'm trying to start various applications, word excel etc.
Test result is that I can start applications it is a little slower than normal but acceptable.
Now, I am restarting the server to be sure it still works after a restart.
When performing the same test again there is no way the wsrm is working again.
As far as I can see all settings in wsrm are like they should:
I have selected the Equal_Per_Session policy as {Manage} and the services are started.
It does not matter which policy I choose, user 1 is using 100% of cpu resources and user 2 cannot start any application without waiting at least 5 minutes..
I would really appreciate your help on this.
With Regards,
Arjan
