LoadRunner and terminal services use

I have been asked to use LoadRunner on several PC to generate larger load but I am somehow unable to set it. I know I have to use terminal services. Could anyone help me on this? Basically just few steps how to set the controller as I have never done this.

So basically someone is asking you to install a copy of the controller on multiple machines in order to produce larger load than what comes with the evaluation license, correct?

If so, then you have two issues at play

  • The evaluation license is not for production use
  • The person asking you to do this is asking you to pretty much ignore the license. I would be willing to bet they will throw you under the bus if someone brings the hammer down on your organization for this.

From a terminal server persepective there are pretty severe restrictions on when and where you may use remote desktop to touch a LoadRunner controller. i.e. if Controller is in City A and you are in City B, then you're pretty much SOL for using Remote Desktop/Terminal services without (a) violating the license agreement or (b) being within license with the purchase of Performance Center.

You don't need to use terminal services. You need to employ the concept of 'Load Generators' - check out the help pages using this search term but basically you install some software (from the same disk as LR) on the remote boxes and then use a master (Controller) to connect to each one and control it.
