Now I'm worried... We've got a 300 user enterprise installation runnning on win2k (enterprise), and the user count regularly goes well over 300 (388 right now). What symptoms of hitting the around 300 user ceiling might I see?
For info, hardware is an 8xcpu dell box, 2Gb ram, 80gb external raid box. Users are mostly uniobject & telnet clients, no significant batch jobs during main office hours. Performance is no problem (except when a redback process goes nuts, but thats another story). Simon Simon Kirkham IS Manager Taunton Deane B.C.

Yes, currently, most W2000 installations max out at about 300 users. We may be at a point of transition. The old ceiling of around 300 users on W2000 may increase to a higher threshold with W2003. Initial tests (although limited) on W2003 point to some of the inherent bottlenecks may be removed that were in W2000. We have not performed any formal benchmarks (nor do we have any scheduled soon) to attempt to scale a W2003 system to maximum user load with an application. (Humor here...) Given the huge sucking sound that comes from the black hole in the "UniVerse" called Microsoft, I believe there will be someone out there that will upgrade from W2000 to W2003. They may observe more scalability of their applications as we have in our limited testing. This may be the first place where we observe the user counts going up on W2003 systems. Has anyone performed an upgrade from W2000 to W2003 and gotten more users on their system? (Quantify if possible.) Curious, Steve Stephen M.
