Hi All
I'm looking for a doc that details how to correctly size a 2012 RDP server for X number of users, inc info on processor/memory etc? does such a document exist?
I'm looking to have 5 RDP users running office 2013, nothing too heavy...
cheers

Hi,
Sizing of the RD Session Host will depend on the hardware, the applications and usage, there's a white paper available for capacity planning
For 2012,it doesn't exist right now.But if you have just 5 RDP users running office 2013,I think it will be running smoothly.Here's some reading that will help you plan and design your deployment in server 08 r2 platform:

that's excellent many thanks.
I'll be using a HP ML350p gen 8 with a 2012 virtual server with 4 threads and 16gb ram......
