A very cheap way of doing this if you don't have a VDI infrastructure is to dedicate a pool of 5-10 old PC accessible across a load balancer (or not if you don't have one in place) , set them to reboot after each RDP session and let it be accessible from your VPN Users with heavy load needs.

Users that work from home (traditionally out of state from where our file server is located) are experiencing performance issues when having to VPN in and work on larger files (traditionally shared Excel workbooks that can range from 15MB to 45MB in size). As anticipated, users are experiencing performance issues, time-outs, and instability when having to open and work on these workbooks across the VPN. Users on the LAN in the same location where the file server is operate normally without issue, as expected. A few suggestions that have been tossed around have been setting up some type of VDI solution to present them with a virtualized desktop where they can go to work on the files. Immediate downside is that we don't have an infrastructure for this in place and it may be overkill if this is just affecting a few users working on a few files. We've also discussed about setting up a SharePoint or Teams site as a collaboration area for them to work (not going across VPN) but there are concerns about hosting files with sensitive information as well as for users needing potentially needing to store more and more files as time goes on leading to a split of our files being located on a file server as well as on an online site. This is still a very early stage project and nothing is necessarily off the table at this point. Would very much enjoy hearing from others who may have had to deal with a similar situation and how they worked through it. Appreciate this great list!
