You might also want to ask this on the thin list at http://www.freelists.org/list/thin. FWIW - 50 concurrent users, I'd be leery of virtualising a terminal server for that sort of user load unless you have a very robust virtual platform in place already or are planning to implement one (Citrix, ESX etc.), and even then...perhaps a virtual clustered terminal server setup spread out over several physical servers might make sense, but again you'd need to have the platform available to implement something like that. The questions that come to mind, however, are: to what purpose do you wish to do this, i.e. what do you wish to gain; what's the application profile for the server as this would dictate performance stats; and if this is the only terminal server in your environment, on what would you be running the virtual server, i.e. how robust is the underlying platform? Again - FWIW.

Anyone know if it makes sense to virtualize a core terminal server that will have about 50 concurrent users connecting to it? Or is it better to get a new server that will be dedicated for this purpose?
