Stress testing an RDS server / farm

Question

I need to find a way to autotest a small RDS deployment for ~50 users, working in a set of RDS session hosts. The users are going to be mainly running MS Office 2007 - Excel, Word, Outlook (connected to Exchange 2010)

Is there a known set of scripts or software I can freely use?

Thanks

Microsoft's Remote Desktop Services Resource Kit (Amazon link for book) comes with a set of scripts and tools that will allow you to do automated load testing on an RDS setup. It's not exactly push-button, but all the tools you need are provided. This stuff may well be available for free elsewhere...I got it with the book. Hope this helps!

Thanks, so I'd need to purchase the book to get the tools? – dyasny Apr 20 '11 at 17:52
