I'm looking for recommendations for User Profile Disks. I currently Have 4 RDS servers (host-based, not VDI) in a farm and have previously implemented User Profile Disks. UPD's worked great all being served up from a standard VM file server, until our user base grew to well over 100 people logging in every morning all at once. What's happening is every morning between 8-9 AM, there are so many people loading up their profiles that everything essentially freezes on all of the RDP hosts until the VM serving UPD's can catch up.

I've been researching best practices for load balancing for our user profile discs and have seen some saying that Scale Out File Server is the way to go. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience in a situation like this? I want to make sure I have this set up in such a way that it can scale further in the future if I need it.

The entire network is running 10Gb fiber. All RDP hosts are separated by only one switch. The Network isn't saturated by any means. I'm thinking that it's a issue with the storage on the server that's hosting the UPDs. It's a 4-disk raid 10 with WD 7200 RPM Enterprise drives. I just want to make sure the next move I make will take care of this issue and allow me to scale up a bit more as we add more users.

I've discovered and began using MC because of the many discussions here on this forum. I deployed it within my company and it has been working great. If I could add one thing though it would be email alerting on agent connect/disconnect. This would be extremely useful to monitor critical servers and infrastructure. I can set web notifications for groups but haven't seen any way to get those alerts via email.

We use the Plantronics CS540 and EHS36 adapter with T4x phones. Have had no issues at all with them.

@JasGot I have a couple customers using the CP960 with wireless mics. They are awesome. They work great for large conference rooms or spaces but another really awesome feature is the mute button on each of the mics.

@scottalanmiller Only 10 users on mine but it is great to hear that it scales up well beyond my current needs. Glad I ran across your original post on here about MC and decided to give it a try.

I run my entire data center and many of my clients on MikroTik switches and routers. I've been using them for years. I was introduced to them about twelve years ago when I started working at a small ISP that ran their entire operation using MikroTik. I've had almost zero issues with them. Highly recommended.

@Pete-S I use the RB2011, RB3011 primarily for routing and I use the Cloudswitch PoE switches for switching.

@Mario-Jakovina I have a couple of those but have been having trouble sourcing then lately. Yes, it is an upgrade from the other two I use primarily.

@JaredBusch Yes! We were primarily a WISP but also ran DNS and email servers, as well as web hosting. I became so familiar with MikroTik routing working that job that when I went out on my own it was an easy choice to continue using them.

220 agents on mine running in a Vultr instance. Working flawlessly for well over a year now.

I've been using MC for about a year now. Features are added all the time. There are some good video tutorials as well. https://meshcentral2.blogspot.com/

@Dashrender Same issue for my office this morning. Good news is that uninstalling the update took care of it.
