Hi
there is no real way to give an absolute answer to this.
As you are using a Server OS then there should be no issue with the connection limit that exists with desktop OS's but there are many things that can have an effect such as internet connections speed.
I would suggest that you trial this, starting with a smaller group of students then build the group size up to 500.
There is nothing like testing to prove things work!
