Thank you very much for the replies. All are very much appreciated.
So, it seems we have some differing views! Which in some ways i'm glad about.
Would anybody be able to advise me of any disadvantages of assigning my VM all of the available resources? In this case 8 virtual sockets, 1 core per socket.
As I can not see this host ever being used for more than the 1 TS VM that it is being used for at the moment.
Also, another point. I was under the impression that it was not advised to change vCPU settings after the base OS has been installed on a VM. Is this an incorrect piece of advise I have picked up?
Thanks again, Dean.
