    Terminal Services and Load Balance

    I want to setup 2 identical servers to host Terminal Services.

    I will be using the DC as the licence server

    What version of 2003 server do I need to be able to load balance between the two Terminal Service Servers?

    I have looked at enterprise edition on both and creating a custer but is this the best idea?

    Thanks.

    Taken from the Technet website

    Load balancing and terminal servers

    Load Balancing pools the processing resources of several servers using the TCP/IP networking protocol. You can use this service with a cluster of terminal servers to scale the performance of a single terminal server by distributing sessions across multiple servers. Session Directory (included in Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition and Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition) keeps track of disconnected sessions on the cluster, and ensures that users are reconnected to those sessions.

    Microsoft Corporation

    So the answer to your question is yes you will be wanting to use Enterprise Edition for your setup
