License nanny: With Windows 10 -- headless machines that people rdp into
need rdp cals. Eula wording has slightly changed.
That said, this is how I would skin that cat. RDServer/Rdgateway/RDP.
Let it so that the only thing going over the wire is limited/not full
vpn traffic.

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.

*Objet :* [NTSysADM] Performance issues working on large shared files
over VPN
Hi all-
As a junior sysadmin I’ve been tasked with reviewing a solution to the
following problem. 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!
Thank you.
