Terminal Services

[rishiberi]

The main function of a Terminal Services server is to enable what are known as

thin client s to run application sessions directly on a Windows Server 2003. Thin clients are usually devices

with simple hardware configurations, often legacy desktops, which lack the hardware resources

to run the latest Microsoft Windows operating system or applications. Terminal Services turns

Microsoft Windows Server 2003 into a multi-user operating system, in which multiple clients

can access the server simultaneously

Some of the clients that can act as Terminal Services clients include:

_

·         MS-DOS-based clients

·           

·         Windows for Workgroups clients, version 3.11 or later

·           

·         Windows-based terminals (Windows CE devices)

·           

·         Macintosh clients (with third-party software)

·           

·         Unix clients (with third-party software)
