Windows RDP Drop

[Propphet]

So the goal is to get around 30 people working in photoshop at the same time on 1 windows machine in vmware through windows rdp.

Now it works fine except it sometimes drops connection randomly to users, screen freez, disconnects and blury view.

When you reconnect it starts working for around 30 sec - 2 min, is there an option to fix this? or is my windows just doing stupid windows things?

Id look into citrix very closely.

 

What is the load on the network and cpu?

Network is very low around 300kbps / user in total about 4mbps without people downloading / using other internet service

Cpu varies if doing havy edits it hovers up but when everyone if doing basic stuff aruond 20-40 %

peaks for short time at 80-90% when opening new software or doing hard tasks.

what are you hosting this server on? 

 

You should probably use something like citrix or vmware horizon.

what os are you running the vm host on? server 2012r2?

 

It seems like a cpu or network limit.

 

With cirtrix/vmware horizon your running each user in a vm, so you need hardware that supports it.

 

They also support just app remote, so you don't have to get a remote desktop session to use photoshop, you can just use photoshop like you normally would.

well for the host stop using a desktop os and use citrix xenserver, esxi, linux with kvm, or windows server. there much better for virutalzition.

 

If you needing gpu power, you basically need a tesla/grid gpu and esxi or xenserver to split it up.

 

the lazy and cheap way to do this is just to use virtusl workstations on aws.https://aws.amazon.com/workspaces/

You were totally right, after dropping all the users off one single account and splitting them it works perfect now.
