Performance Considerations
Consider the following when evaluating performance on a MultiSeat solution:
●
Each client session, including the host system, will offer native resolution of the monitor attached
to the client/host. The MultiPoint operating system does not attempt to reduce the resolution or
color depth of each session.
●
Performance will be a factor of the application running in each session and the number of client
sessions running per host system.
●
Some Flash-enabled websites can be highly CPU-intensive, even for a single-desktop system.
Understandably, running several MultiSeat terminals with Flash will cause the CPU to run very
high. This in turn can cause performance degradation at the clients including, but not limited to,
slow mouse and keyboard response. If this happens, reduce the number of clients until you get
an acceptable response.
●
The best and simplest path to gain better performance is to ensure the best fit of the MultiSeat
host system, Essential or Extended configurations, with the main use of the MultiSeat solution.
●
MultiPoint operating system user sessions have the Internet Explorer 8 browser installed. It is
strongly recommend that compatibility mode is used to mitigate any compatibility issues with
older websites.
●
Next, you must ensure the best fit for the number of clients attached to each host system. The
best reference for this is the Microsoft TechNet. See

Licensing and Support
Several support options are available—these must be purchased separately:
●
WMS VL Support Link for Professional Customers
●
Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC)
External Links
●
●
Microsoft Windows MultiPoint Server Forum
●
Microsoft TechNet for Windows MultiPoint Server 2011
●
Troubleshooting
Windows MultiPoint is unable to display the monitor's native or recommended resolutions for some larger
monitors.
Cause
Solution
The MultiSeat zero client has a lower maximum resolution
than some larger monitors can display.
The maximum resolution supported by the t200 Zero Client is
2048 x 1152.
